The first step to a successful knitting project is casting on or binding on if you are in the US. If you do this sloppily, the work will not sit properly, so it is worth taking time to learn a method that suits you. Here I'll show you how to make your first slip stitch, how to cast on using the thumb method and how to cast on using two needles.
Whichever method you do choose, ensure you make it tight and even, every stitch the same as the one next to it and with no loops hanging.
