Pinch the circle with your left hand and hold a DPN and working yarn in your right hand. *Insert DPN into circle from front to back and wrap the working yarn around the DPN. Use the needle tip to pull a loop through the circle from back to front (you should have 1 loop on the DPN). Wrap working yarn around needle point (2 loops on DPN). With a finger, second DPN or a crochet hook lift the first loop over second loop and off the needle [1 st made]. Rep from * another 7 times.
