Knitted Cast On
The Knitted Cast On is a great cast on for beginners or those learning to knit. Once you know the knit stitch, you can use this to cast on! It is also a great cast on method if you are adding stitches in the middle of a row (such as in a sweater across an armhole, a thumb gusset on a mitt, or for amigurumi knitting of stuffed animals). The knitted cast on is a little sturdier than the long tail cast on, but can also be slower than the long-tail. To perform the knitted cast on: After you've put your slip knot on the needle, perform a basic knit stitch, but instead of dropping the stitch off the needle, once you pull the yarn thru the loop on the needle, twist and slip it back onto the left hand needle. One stitch casted on! If you leave your needle in the loop, you'll be setup and ready to wrap and cast on the next stitch! NOTE: Count the slip knot as one stitch when counting how many you've cast on! |
