Insert the right hand needle from front to back through the 1st/next stitch on the left hand needle.
Beg with the yarn at the back of work, wind the yarn anti-clockwise under and over the right hand needle creating a loop.
The right hand needle with new loop is brought to front under left hand needle.
 'Old loop' is slipped off left hand needle and new loop becomes 'New Stitch' on right hand needle.

Rep steps 1 to 4 until all sts have been knitted and knitting is now on right hand needle. Congratulations, you have completed your 1st row.

To begin your 2nd row transfer needle with knitting from Right hand to Left hand and repeat steps 1 to 4 (as before) until all sts have been knitted and knitting is now on right hand needle once again. Last 2 rows from garter stitch.
