Backwards loop cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as thumb cast-on. This method is good for casting on stitches in the middle of a row, for instance the underarm stitches for a top-down sweater. You can use it in other situations as well. However, the stitches unravel easily so I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it to cast on a big number of stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tips &amp; Tricks for the Backwards Loop Cast-On \/\/ Technique Tuesday\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aMKfwZe1CR8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cable cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is good for casting on stitches in the middle of a row and reminds the knitted cast-on method. Instead of knitting to the previous stitch, you pull the loop between the previous two stitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Knitting Help - Cable Cast-On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4YUfdREnSQI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

It is stretchy and makes a good pair with garter stitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matches the Icelandic bind-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Knitting Help - German Twisted Cast-On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UcwmCuIylII?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Figure 8 cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a closed cast-on method and can be used for toe-up socks, top-down hats, or mittens. It can also be used to create a provisional cast-on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is quite similar to the Turkish cast-on method: a little bit harder to learn but works better for a bigger number of stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Figure-8 Cast On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7LvanJobvjo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. I-cord cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I-cord bind-off looks great on shawls for instance. It is thicker than most of the other bind-offs and not very stretchy. It is made by first knitting an i-cord and then picking up stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matches the i-cord bind-off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"I-Cord Cast On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PKIZHybk1Co?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Judy&#8217;s magic cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a closed cast-on method and great for top-down hats or mittens and toe-up socks for instance. In my opinion it is a little bit trickier to learn than the Figure 8 or Turkish cast-on but it is more stable (the stitches don&#8217;t unravel easily) and thus better if you cast on a bigger number of stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Knitting Help - Judy&#039;s Magic Cast-On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GV9UaFgZ6Q0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Long-tail cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-tail cast-on method is one of the most popular ones and it can be used in many situations. It takes a little while to learn it but with this method, you can cast on your stitches super quickly. Just make sure your tail is long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Longtail Cast On for Beginners\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SXA3gBNiSiM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Knitted cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This method works for many situations and it is easy to learn but also quite slow to do. It is good for casting on stitches in the middle of or at the end of a row. I use it for casting on the underarm stitches of a top-down sweater and neckline shaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Knitting Help - Knitted Cast-On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IzVy8fRfOw0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Magic ring cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This a closed cast-on method that can be used to cast on top-down hats and mittens or toe-up socks. First, you make a loop and then knit into it as many stitches as you need to cast on. Lastly, you pull the yarn tightly so that the hole in the middle closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as pinhole cast-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Magic Ring Cast On - Simple Way to Start Knitting from the Centre\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F9JEfuCXpwM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Picot Cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a decorative cast-on method and it is great for shawl projects for instance. The small bumps are created by binding off stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matches the picot bind-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"PICOT CAST ON\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rlChT9rzoFE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Provisional cast-on with crochet hook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Provisional cast-on method is used if you want to create a temporary cast-on edge for your project with the intention of knitting seamlessly in the opposite direction or grafting the two pieces together later. For instance, if you would like to make a headband with an invisible seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my favorite provisional cast-on method. If you do this without scrap yarn you get the crocheted cast-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Provisional Cast On: A One-Step Method | Purl Soho\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AKErReecbqk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Tubular cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is a little bit trickier to learn but the result is totally worth it. Looks great on 1-by-1 or 2-by-2 ribbing and produces a stretchy edge. Matches <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/blog\/tubular-bind-off\/\">the tubular bind-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do it with or without scrap yarn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tubular Cast On\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RbElPT1bCg8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Turkish cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a closed cast-on and in my opinion, this is the easiest way to cast on toe-up socks, top-down mittens, and hats especially if you are knitting with the magic loop method. I wouldn&#8217;t recommend it to cast on a big number of stitches though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Easiest way to cast on toe up socks\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VEodKbygQSQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Two-color decorative cast-on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are familiar with long-tail cast-on method you\u2019ll find this two-color cast-on method easy to use. This is an ideal cast on method for double knitting projects but you can also use it also if you simply want to make the edge of your project a little bit prettier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Simple two color cast on method for double knitting\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9qhfCT-BX1w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gathered a list of most commonly used cast-on methods and I also added the matching cast-off if I found one.
