Align all the stitches so that their bases are on the inside edge of the circular (see Tips below).

1 Make a slip knot and place the loop on the left needle. This loop is the first stitch.

2 Slide the right needle into that stitch and wrap the yarn around it. To start the first round, insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle (that is, the first stitch that was originally cast on), keeping tension on the yarn so the cast-on row doesn’t loosen too much. Place a marker after the last stitch of the first round and move it up each time you finish a round. 3 A new loop is formed on the right needle. Draw it through the first stitch, leaving the first stitch on the left needle.

4 Slide the new stitch from the right needle to the left needle.

Repeat Steps 2 to 4, each time inserting the right needle into the most recently formed stitch on the left needle. Tips Before starting the first round, make sure the cast-on row isn’t twisted around your circular or double-pointed needles.
