Knitted Cast On
A
The knitted cast on
method produces a
loose, soft edge. This
would not be a good
choice for a garment
with a ribbed edge, as
it will look sloppy.
1.
Make a slip knot, leav-
ing a short tail (at least
4"); place slip knot on left
needle. Insert tip of right
needle from left to right
through the loop. Tip of
right needle will be behind
left needle

2.
Wrap yarn from back
to front over right needle,
then down between the two
needles

3.
Bring tip of right needle
forward through stitch
on left needle, keeping
wrapped yarn on right
needle. Wrapped yarn
forms a new stitch on right
needle

5.
Remove right needle
from loop and gently
tighten stitch on left needle
4.
Insert left needle from
right to left through loop on
right needle

Twisted Loop Cast On
Knit
smart
™
If your cast on stitches
are too tight, use a
needle one or two
sizes larger than
the pattern calls for.
Switch back to correct
needle size before you
begin to knit.

The twisted loop cast
on is an easy method
that will produce a
soft, elastic edge. It is a
great choice for adding
on stitches or when
knitting lace.
