Crochet Cast On

Posted on October 30, 2009November 21, 2013 by Knit Purl

An easy, loose cast on giving a crochet-like edge. Use waste yarn and it becomes a provisional crochet cast on. Simply remove waste yarn later to reveal live stitches.

German Twisted Cast On

Posted on October 30, 2009November 21, 2013 by Knit Purl

A variation of the long tail cast on which is a bit firmer, yet still elastic. A great choice for socks, sweaters and cuff edges. You will love its clean edge line.

Tail Tip

Posted on October 27, 2009December 14, 2010 by Knit Purl

Tie the tail from your cast on stitches in a bow.  Should you grab the tail instead of the working yarn, you will be stopped quickly by the bow and only need to unknit a few stitches.  Every knitter, no matter their skill level, knits with the tail now and then.  UGH!
