Now that you have made a slip knot, you have to cast on the first row of stitches and our friend, Ouijong, from Lupe Mango in New York will show you how. To cast on, insert your working needle through the slip knot, front to back, behind your stationary needle. Wrap the yarn around the working needle clockwise, or from back to front, and pull the new loop through the slip knot. Join the needle points together to transfer the loop. Pull the yarn to tighten, but keep it loose enough to fit two needles comfortably. Repeat the same steps using the new loop instead of the slip knot, to cast on more stitches.
