This method is the most popular in Continental Europe. It is also a technique that many left-handers find easy to use if they are knitting right-handed.
Hold the needle with the stitches on in your right hand. Wrap the yarn around the little finger and then around the index finger of your left hand. Then move the needle with the stitches on into your left hand.
Hold the other needle in your right hand, holding it form above. The tension of the yarn will be controlled by your left-hand index finger, so it is important to keep the yarn around it slightly taut.
