How to make a Slip KnotThe first step in knitting is to make a slip knot in order to attach your yarn to the needle. 1. Pick up the yarn approximately 12cm from the end with your left hand.
2. Create a loop by taking the long end of the yarn (attached to the ball) and winding it over the top of the shorter end. 
3. Hold the point where the yarns cross, creating the loop, tightly between your left thumb and forefinger. 4. With your right hand take the long end of the yarn (attached to the ball) and put it under the loop and up through it, creating a new loop.
5. Take the new loop with your right hand and pull until the first loop has tightened. 
6. Place this new loop over the end of your knitting needle and pull the long end of the yarn to close the loop over the needle.
