This method of casting on was popularized by Elizabeth Zimmermann as "Emily Ocker's Circular Beginning."

[edit] Benefits and Drawbacks

This cast-on is ideal for any circular item knit from the center out, as it forms a very tight center. However, it can be difficult to master.

[edit] Method

Instructions can be found in Zimmermann’s book, Knitter’s Almanac, or online at this tutorial at spellingtuesday.com.
