1) To cast on, begin with the palm of your hand facing you with the tail end of the yarn between your thumb and index finger. Weave the yarn over your index finger and behind the middle finger then over the ring finger. Wrap the yarn around your smallest finger and weave back to your index finger.
2)Weave the yarn around the index finger again and continue in the same manner but above the first rows of stitches returning to your index finger again.Try to keep the stitches fairly loose otherwise it will be difficult for you to make the following moves.
3)The first row, begins with the little finger, lift the bottom row of wrapped yarn up and over the tip of your finger.Ensure that you keep the top row of wrapped yarn on your finger as you go. Continue the process of lifting the bottom row of stitches over the top row of stitches along your hand until you get back to your index finger.
4)For all subsequent rows, weave the yarn around the fingers again ending with the index finger as you did.
5)As you continue the process you will see a long strip of stocking stitch appearing behind you hand
6)Continue until your work is approx 20cms in length then cast off. To cast off, do not weave the work around your fingers instead, lift the stitch off the little finger and pass it across to your ring finger then lift the bottom stitch over the top stitch on your ring finger. Continue to pass the stitches across and over until you get to the index finger with one stitch remaining.
