Twisted Stitch…

…or Twisted Drop Stitch, as it’s more properly known.

If this is your first knitting adventure, make sure you get comfy with the Knit stitch first before you try this one.

Insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle.

Wrap the yarn all the way around the back of both needles and return to the starting point.

Then wrap the yarn around the tip of the needle you are holding in your right hand only. Pull though yarn on the tip of the right hand needle as usual. You will see a sort of double loop around both needles – push both of those off your left hand needle tip.

Congratulations, you have done a twisted drop stitch!
