(1) With the working yarn at the back, insert right-hand needle into first stitch no left-hand needle, from front to back.

(2) Wrap yarn around right-hand needle, from left to right over the point of the needle.

(3) Pull wrap through the stitch, forming a loop on the right-hand needle.

(4) Slip the stitch off the left-hand needle.

When all the stitches on the left-hand needle have been transferred to the right-hand needle, turn the work and place the needle with the stitches on it to the left hand to start the next row.

When knitting every row (also knows as garter stitch), both sides of the knitting will have raised horizontal ridges.
