THE STYLE

Edit

PROVISIONAL CAST ON

This is a quick and easy provisional cast on that requires basic crochet skills.

Using a smooth waste yarn, make a crochet chain.

1

Insert your knitting needle into

the bump along the reverse side

of the chain, wrap the yarn around

the needle and pull it through

the loop. Repeat this until all your

cast-on sts are picked up.

2

When you're ready to knit

back the other way, undo the

fastening of knot of the crochet

chain and slowly unravel the chain,

placing the knitted stitches on to

the needle as you go
