Gurl.com tutorial :)
2. Hold the slip-knotted needle in your left hand and hold the other needle in your right hand. Insert the point of the right hand needle from front to back into the slip-knot and under the left needle. [see diagram 2]
3. Without moving anything, situate your hands so both needles are being supported by the left hand. [see diagram 3]
4. With right hand, pick up the yarn that is connected to the ball of yarn. Use your index finger to bring the yarn under and then over the point of the right needle. [see diagram 4]
5. Holding the right needle with the right hand again, pull the loop you made on the right needle through the left needle stitch. [see diagram 5]
6. Pull the loop that you have made with the right needle onto the point of the left needle. Then slide out the right needle so the loop is now on the left needle. [see diagram 6]
7. Hooray, you cast on a stitch! You should now have 2 stitches casted on the left needle, like this: [see diagram 7]
8. Pull the yarn gently to tighten the stitch onto the needle. It should be snug like a bug, but not a bug that is too snug in a rug wearing Uggs.
9. Now, hold the needles in the right and left hands just as you did in the beginning. Insert the point of the right needle, from front to back, into the new stitch on the left needle and repeat steps 4-6 to cast on more stitches onto the left needle.
If you can't get the point of your needle into the stitch, you're pulling too tight. The number of stitches you cast on will show you an estimate of how wide your scarf will be, but keep in mind that the scarf will get a little wider once you start knitting. A normal number of stitches to cast on for a scarf is about 25. To count the number of stitches, just count the loops on the needle!
I love this How-To by gurl.com it has everything I needed to learn as a beginner <3
