Remove one of the knitting needles. Hold the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand, and the removed needle in your right hand.
Insert the tip of your right hand needle into the first stitch on your left hand needle from front to back.
Wrap the yarn around your right hand needle in the direction of the arrow.
