  • Bring required needles to E position on Brother or Knitking machines or to D position on Silver Reed or Studio machines.

  • Begin at LEFT edge.

  • Make a slip knot and place it onto the 1st needle.

  • Now take the yarn UNDER the 1st and 2nd needles.

  • Bring the yarn up between the 2nd and 3rd needles.

  • Lay the yarn over the TOP of both needles. (needles 1 and 2)

  • Place the yarn in the HOOK of the 1st needle and with thumb and push the needle to the B position. (You have manually knit off the 1st stitch.)

  • Now, there should be a loop on the 2nd needle.

  • Now bring the yarn UNDER the 2nd and 3rd needles.

  • Bring the yarn UP between the 3rd and 4th needle.

  • Lay the yarn across the 2nd and 3rd needles.

  • Place the yarn into the HOOK of the 2nd needle.

  • Manually knit off this 2nd needle.

  • Repeat this across the bed moving from left to right until all needles including the last needle are manually knitted off. (The last needle just lay the yarn in the hook and knit it back.)

  • Place the yarn into the yarn feeder on the carriage..
