Stitch Pattern Instructions


    • Step 1: Take a length of yarn from your ball of yarn.
    • Step 2: Make a slip knot and insert the needle into the loop. Tighten slip knot onto needle. This is your first stitch.Tip: Be sure to leave enough on the tail of the yarn to weave in later.
    • Step 3: Take your second needle and insert the tip into the stitch with the needle under your main needle. Insert at an angle so your needles cross forming an “X”.
    • Step 4: Hold your crossed needles together where they intersect with your non-dominant hand.
    • Step 5: With your dominant hand take the yarn connected to your ball and wrap it around the bottom needle. Begin by going under, around, and then over.
    • Step 6: Take the bottom needle and bring it back through the stitch pulling the yarn with it.
    • Step 7: With the yarn still on the needle in your dominant hand, stretch the yarn out in front of you main needle and slip the tip of your main needle through.
    • Step 8: Remove the needle in your dominant hand and tighten the yarn onto the main needle.

Repeat steps 3-8 until you have reached the desired amount of stitches on your needle.
