Three Easy Cast On Techniques to Start Knitting

Get started knitting fast with these three easy cast on techniques! Includes backwards loop, knit cast on, and long tail cast on.

This week I've got three easy cast ons for you to try when you start your next knitting project!

My default is long tail in pattern, but I may have to try out twisted German (the image is linked to the source blog and an entry about the Twisted German Cast On). I'd also include Chinese Waitress in with the decorative cast ons. For those not familiar with it, it looks a lot like i-cord but without having to knit a lot of cord and then pick up stitches from it. I'd post a photo of it but my only project that I've used it on is black (and currently about fifty miles away from me).

Crochet Provisional Cast On

Using a crochet hook suitable for the size of your yarn, make a slip knot and chain 5-6 sts.  Holding the knitting needle in your left hand, and holding the yarn behind the needle, use the crochet hook to reach over the top of the needle, catch the yarn and draw it though the chain stitch on the hook — one stitch made on the needle.  Take the yarn to the back of the needle and repeat until there are the required number of stitches on the knitting needle.  To finish, chain a few more stitches on just the crochet hook.  Cut yarn and fasten off.

Pick up the live stitches by unraveling the initial chain stitches, slowly undoing the crochet cast on and placing the live stitches back on the needle.  Take care to get the first and last stitches which may be a little tight and tend to get lost.
