1. Cast on the number of stitches required by your chosen pattern or 20 stitches if you are just practicing. Hold the needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand. Point the needles toward each other.
2. While holding the yarn in the back of the left needle in between your right thumb and index finger, insert the right needle from front to back through the stitch on the left needle. You will see that the needles form an "X" the right needle beneath the left needle
3. Keep the needles crossed by holding both needles with the thumb, index and middle fingers of your left hand. Do this by holding the right needle with the thumb nail on top facing you, and the nails of the index and middle fingers underneath that right needle and facing away from you. With your right hand, pick up yarn and wrap the yarn counterclockwise under and around the bottom needle; do not wrap it around the left needle.
4. Hold the yarn in place around the right needle inbetween your right thumb and index finger and guide the right needle towards you through the center of the stitch on the left needle. The right needle should now be on top of the left needle.
5. Pull remaining yarn off the left needle by pulling the right needle up and to the right so that the newly formed stitch slides off the left needle to the right. You will have a newly created stitch on the right needle.
