Step 2. Insert

 

Next, go in with your right handed needle from above into the loop of your left handed needle with the stitches (in knit stitch you will go in from below).

Step 3. Wrap

 

Take the ball end of the yarn and wrap it around the right handed needle (make sure it doesn't slip out).

Bring it through the loop.

 

Step 5. Slide

 

Slide your work off of the left-handed needle.

Repeat the same steps from the stitches you cast on. You can tight in as you go just so the stitches are more even, just pull on the ball end of the yarn to tighten a little bit. And there you go, good job! It's very easy, just keep on practicing.
