An Invisible Cast-On

Knitting Patterns

Try this on any knitting pattern project where you will be coming back to your cast-on edge and picking up sts later.

OPEN CAST ON: Tie nylon string and yarn together in slip knot,
and slip onto needle; hold in right hand. Insert thumb and 1st finger of left
hand between string and yarn; yarn is over thumb in front and string is over
finger in back, grab loose ends with other fingers.



LOOP 1: Dip needle down into triangle, grabbing side 2 from bottom; slip it
off your thumb and tighten.



LOOP 2: Twist back of left hand toward you and dip needle down, grabbing side
2 from back, slip loop off thumb and tighten. Repeat. String should run
straight along bottom of needle.



Note: When picking up beginning sts eliminate slip knot on first row, k in the
back of twisted sts.
