Knitting-On
This is a nice method for teaching a new knitter, since it's just the knit stitch, repeatedly made into the last stitch and kept on the left needle. Personally I find this far easier to work than cable cast-on, and often substitute it when Cable Cast On is called for.
Start with a slip knot: . *Knit 1, leaving stitch on left needle. Transfer new stitch onto left needle by slipping it knit-wise. Repeat from *.
