There are a whole bunch of ways to knit, I recommend taking the yarn, twisting it around your hand and placing it on the needle, this is one of the fastest ways.

To cast on stitches in knitting, make a slip knot, insert the needle into the loop, and tighten the knot on the needle. Then, wrap the yarn around the needle and pull a loop through the stitch on the needle. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of stitches on your needle.

How do you knit a 8x8 square?
Knit a sample first. Cast on and knit with twenty stitches to start, and knit until it's a few inches long. Measure your knitting. Let's say it's four inches wide. Divide twenty stitches by four inches, and that means that for every five stitches you knit, you've got one inch. Multiply that by eight and cast on. Knit until it's eight inches long. You could do the same for centimeters, just measure and calculate in cm.

How many stitches do you need to cast on to make a shawl?
That depends on many factors, the shape of shawl you are trying to make, your gauge and the type of yarn you are using. For a rectangular shawl, or stole, decide whether you want to knit the length or width. Personally, I knit the width of the stole and continue until it's long enough, but the direction of the stitches changes the look of the shawl. Determine how wide you want your stole to be, say 24 inches. Cast on 10 stitches and knit a few rows. Measure how wide your swatch is, say 6 inches, and do a little math. (Finished width / width of swatch) so (24 inches / 6 inches = 4 times the width) So, you multiply your stitches used, 10, by the number of times larger you need your piece, 4, and you cast on 40 stitches. It works the same if you want to work the length of the stole. If you are not needing a specific size, you can cast on about what looks right. For a triangular shawl, it can be easier to start, but you have to keep track of your rows. 1. Cast on three stitches. 2. Knit all. Place a stitch marker on the now empty needle. You can leave it on the needle without ever passing it back. You can also use two different colored needles or put a little waste yarn into the last stitch in this row. You are simply trying to keep track of which row you re on. 3. Knit the first stitch and cast on a stitch, the method doesn't really matter. Knit the next stitch and cast on a stitch, knit the last stitch. 4. Knit all 5 stitches. 5. Knit the first stitch, increase, knit the next three, increase, knit the last. 6. Knit all 7 stitches. 7. Knit the first, increase, knit to the second to last stitch, increase, knit the last. 8. Knit back. Repeat rows 7 and 8. By increasing one stitch in, rather than in the last stitch, you have a smoother edge to the shawl. Just keep alternating an increase row with a knit even row until the shawl is as wide as you'd like. If you find your shawl is getting too wide for the length, increase less, if it's not wide enough, increase more often. An alternative to 2 increases on every other row would be to increase one on every row. I'd still increase near the edge, just decide if you want to increase at the beginning of the row, or the end. You will need 45 casted on stitches.
