2. Bring the yarn between the needles from the back to the front and wrap it around your thumb. Holding the loop on your thumb, take the yarn to the back again, between the needles.
3. Knit into the same st as in Step #1 and drop it from the left hand needle.
4. Pass the first st over the second and drop the loop.

An increase worked as follows:
1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.

| This little guy is so cute! It's easy to whip out, and I made mine pretty big! Five stars and is perfect for crochet too.
