Knitted Cast-On

From KnitWiki

Perhaps the most straightforward method of casting on.

[edit] Benefits and Drawbacks

This method is sometimes deprecated for giving an untidy edge.

[edit] Method

Begin with a slip knot on the left-hand needle as the first stitch. Insert the right-hand needle into the stitch from front-to-back, loop the yarn around and draw through, as when creating a knit stitch, but do not drop the previous stitch. Place the new loop on the left-hand needle as the next stitch.

[edit] Variations

The knitted cast-on can also be done in a purl version, or even a rib version.
