Lift the string with your non-throw hand index finger.

Swing the yoyo away from you and land it on the string. This is called an Undermount.

Keeping the string pinched, wrap it slightly around the yoyo and towards you. At the same time, start to lift your throw hand. You can feel the tension tighten in the yoyo gap.
