1 Type in the initial row. Make it as big as you want.

2 Hold a knitting needle with a starting row in your left hand and an empty knitting needle in your right.

3 Hold the nose of the right needle so that it points slightly downward. Pass it through the top of the first stitch on the left needle so that it passes in front of the left needle.

4 Place the thread in front of the knitting needles. Hold the loop on the left needle with your index finger and thumb.

5 Hold the thread firmly in your hand. Wrap it counterclockwise around the right spoke, from front to back.

6 Pull the right needle carefully back through the first loop, taking the thread with it. Pull the right spoke gently backward. Make sure not to pull too hard, otherwise you will pull it completely out.

7 Carefully remove the old buttonhole from the left knitting needle.

8 Look at your first purl.

9 Work the entire initial row in the same way to create a row of purl stitches.

10 Work the second row in the same way. Watch as what you knit begins to grow. If you knit only purl loops, then you will make a garter stitch.

Tips

Instead of making the second row with a purl loop, knit it with a knit stitch. Thus, you will create the facial surface. With a front satin stitch, one side will be smooth and the other will be uneven for a more professional look.
- Many sweaters are knit with one front row and the other with a purl row, making one side look as smooth as if you bought it at the store. The inner side is uneven. You can look at the purchased sweater.
Practice using thick knitting needles and thick, smooth thread. Once you start knitting better, you can switch to finer knitting needles.
To make an elastic, you must sew purl and knit stitches in the same row. The elastic is used for gloves or hats, or to finish off the bottom of sweaters. You can alternate between two facial, two purl. You can see the purl in the elastic between the knit stitches. For a tighter elastic, you can alternate one knit stitch and one purl stitch.
- You can finish knitting gloves or sweater by knitting one knit, one purl, one knit, one purl, and continue to your desired length.
