Pull the thread leaving a tiny bit of slack for the hook to slide under it. Repeat the process three to four times to create a bundle of vertical strands (take care not to insert the needle again and again in the same hole. insert it a bit left and right each time to create the strands).

Bring the needle up right next to the starting edge of your foundation thread, slide the needle under the entire bundle of threads, pass the thread at the back of the needle under the needle and pull tight to create a knot.
