Place the next needle parallel and above the 1st.needle, allowing the point to protrude a little,Cast on the required number of sts. for the 2nd. needle.
2,Continue to cast on the sts. on the remaining needles. Be sure that all the sts. are facing the same way and that none are twisted round the needle. Place a marker, a plastic ring or loop of contrasting yarn, at the end of the last cast on st. This marks the beginning of each round.
3,Arrange the 4 needles in a square,(3 needles in a triangle,) and using an additional needle knit into the 1st. cast on st. on the 1st needle, thus closing up the square. Pull the yarn firmly on the first needle to avoid a gap.
