Step 1: Hold your knitting needles. If you're right-handed, hold the needle with your cast-on stitches in your left hand and the empty needle in your right hand. If you're left-handed, you can do the opposite.

Step 2: Insert your right-hand needle into the first stitch on your left-hand needle. Insert it from left to right through the front leg of the stitch.

Step 3: Hold the yarn. With your right hand, wrap the working yarn (the yarn attached to your yarn ball) counterclockwise around the right-hand needle, passing it over the top.

Step 4: Pull the right-hand needle with the wrapped yarn through the stitch on the left-hand needle, going from left to right.

Step 5: Slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle.

Step 6: You've now created a new stitch on your right-hand needle. It's a knit stitch!

Step 7: Repeat the process for each stitch on your left-hand needle. Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch, wrap the yarn counterclockwise, pull it through the stitch, and slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle.

Step 8: Keep knitting across the row until you have the desired number of stitches or as indicated by your knitting pattern.

Step 9: Turn your work and repeat the process to knit additional rows, creating a fabric of knitted stitches.
