Technique
Here, we assume that there are already stitches on the needles, having been cast on previously. The yarn is wrapped around the right hand for tension (in one method, the tail of the yarn is wrapped around the little finger of the right hand for tension, and over the index finger for control—see illustration). The right hand will hold the needle with the most recently-knit stitches. (If at the beginning of a row, the right hand will hold the empty needle.) The left hand holds the other needle.
