Casting On

Casting On (CO)

There are many methods of casting on in knitting.

1st Chain stitch number of stitches you need. (To make a chain, make a slip knot loop, yarn over hook draw yarn through loop, continue until you have number of chains you need.)  put your hook in 2nd chain from hook, YO and draw up a loop. Keep the loop on you hook and continue down your chain, drawing up a loop on each chain. When you get to the end of te chain pull all the of the loops onto your life line. CO complete.







 3rd Magic Ring CO- For starting in the center and working in the round (example: top down hats)  (similar to the magic ring in crochet) - Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, insert your hook through loop, YO working yarn draw yarn through, YO draw loop through loop on hook, (pull working yarn to tighten stitch, 1 stitch CO. Continue until you have the stitches needed. Pull the tail to close the hole, fasten and weave ends

Yo working yarn and draw through again.

    I can't wait either. I crochet, but always wanted to learn how to knit. To me, crochet is faster than knitting, but knitting is prettier than crochet. FINALLY---we that crochet will be able to crochet and our work will look like it's been knitted. YEA!!!!!! THANK YOU!!

    I just stumbled onto your site. I have seen knock books, and now this blog. Problem is, I don't see where one can purchase knooks...live in
    southern CA vicinity of Torrance.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    What is the name of your etsy store? I would like to buy your book. Does your book have anything in it about left-handed nooking. I am going to buy it whether it does or not.

    This looks like something to add to my repertoire. Don't think the knocking needle will be easy to find in my local store.
