Cast on 4 sts. Do not turn work.

Slide the four stitches to the other end of your double pointed or circular needle.

Bring the working yarn behind your work.

Knit into the front and back of the first stitch (first cast-on stitch) by bringing the yarn behind your work.

Knit into the front and back of the next three stitches (you now have 8 stitches in total).

Divide the 8 stitches between your needles and begin working in the round using the Magic Loop Method or working on DPNs.
