beginner problem

I do a cast on where you make a slip knot and put it on your needle. Then you hold the yarn as a kind of loop with your pointer finger and your thumb, then you draw your needle through the loop, and keep doing that until you have all your stitches.

I think that's the backward loop. Have a look at the cast on videos and see if one is like you do.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's it. I always wondered what it was called, now I know. Thanks!!
