If you wish to knit a sample and practice, the swatch is worked on a super-bulky yarn using US 10 needles.
Cast on 16 sts using the Long Tail cast on method.
Row 1 (RS): Knit.
Row 2 (WS): Purl.
Repeat [Rows 1 and 2] 7 more times (16 rows total).
Bind off knitwise with the RS facing.
To work the Pick Up THEN Knit method, you can use a double-pointed needle that is smaller than your working needle by several sizes. This video uses a US 7 to pick up the bars.

The second method is a great idea. Thank you.
Wow very clean and knit. Thank you so much
Thanks for the tutorial. I usually use the first method for pickup. I think I like that second method using the bars. I’ll have to give that a try.

Good video but it would have been better if you didn't use fuzzy yarn. But still,a really good tutorial.
Outstanding video. Is there any preference for method. Such as type of yarn etc

Thanks Sally! And that's a great question. I've never really considered one method over the other as being yarn-specific but I do think that if you have a yarn that likes to split, the second method might be easier. Since you're not digging through the two legs and pulling yarn through from back to front, it might be easier. But in general, no, I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. I just think the pick up THEN knit method *feels* fancier! 🤣
