Cable Cast-on Method
The Cable cast-on method creates a cast-on similar to the cable cast-on in needle knitting. It creates a sturdy edge that is elastic that is perfect for ordinary edges, end of rows and ribbing. Thank you, Becky Hanson, for taking the time to work this out for the community.
Tools needed
- Round loom & rake
- Crochet hook
Directions
Video
These directions are for both circular and flat knitting.
- Tie a slip knot leaving a
3-inch tail and place on peg 1.
- Bring the working yarn to the front of the
loom.
- Pass the crochet hook through the slip knot that is on
peg 1 from the inside of the loom and
crochet a loop grabbing the working yarn
from the front.
- Place the loop on your crochet hook on peg
2.
- Go between the pegs and grab the working
yarn with your crochet hook, crochet a loop and
place it on peg 3.
- Repeat step 5 until you have wraps on all
of the pegs needed for your project.
From the front of the loom, you will see two wraps on each peg except for the last peg in flat knitting.
- Knit off all pegs with two wraps.
For the last peg in flat knitting, e-wrap it and knit off or slip if you are slipping the first stitch of each row.
Coming soon!
