To Knit you have to first make a slip knot. The slip knot is very simple but very important.

Step One- The Slip Knot

First, you pinch any piece of yarn between your index finger and your thumb. Second, you wrap the yarn around your index finger twice. Third, move the piece yarn, closer to your knuckles, over the piece that is closer to your finger tip. Fourth, move the piece of yarn, that is now closer to your knuckles, over the tip of your index finger. Finally, put the slip knot onto one of your needles.
