To in cursive
To in cursive is a short t joined to a round o, plus one pen lift to cross the t. The t rises about halfway between the midline and headline, drops to the baseline, and curves up into the o. The o closes at the midline. Add a crossbar through the t near the midline after the word is done.

Getting the t height right
The cursive t is shorter than tall letters like l, h and d. In the image it rises only a little above the midline and has no loop: you go up and come straight back down on the same line. The crossbar sits just above the midline. If you loop the t or take it to the headline, it starts to look like an l.
The t to o join
From the bottom of the t, curve up and to the right into the o. Start the o at the top, circle counterclockwise, and close it at the midline. Because to is so short, any wobble in the join is easy to see. Keep the top of the o level with the midline and give it the same slant as the t.
Using to in a sentence
To shows up in almost every sentence, often right next to other small words: to go, to the, to you. Practicing it in phrases helps more than practicing it alone, because the real skill is the space before and after it. Leave about the width of an o between words. The Unicode text you can copy from this page is a font, not joined handwriting.
