You can use 2 knives, 1 held in each hand, and sort of chop the flour into the butter until you have a crumbly mixture. I hold the knives, butter knives by the way, with the points pointing in, not away from me, and I try to keep the blades pretty close together, blades down. You can also use the flat of a fork and press down, making sure you stir the loose flour in from the sides too and press it in, till you have a crumbly mixture.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
