1.) Find the ends of the thread. (I always use doubled thread, where the needle is in the centre and both ends are in the knot, for mending as it's a little stronger.) 2.) Hold the ends, and wrap the end bits around the needle a few times, so that it is coiled around the needle. 3.) Pinch the coil so that it doesn't unravel and draw the needle through your fingers so that the coil moves down on to the thread, and then right down to the end of the thread.
If you're gentle enough that should give you a knot at the end of the thread and the more loops you put on the needle the bigger it'll get.
