Summer Skills Series - Cable Cast Ons
The Summer Skill Series is designed to provide you with practical and interesting techniques to improve your knitting skill set - 2021 is the year of cast ons! These bite-sized classes focus on improving little details which make huge impacts on the quality and range of your knitting.
Week 2: Cable Cast On
The Cable Cast On is an evolution of the knitted on cast on that creates a row of working stitches on the needle allowing for a clean edge with good durability that responds well to blocking and is slightly more flexible than a traditional Knitted Cast On. The Alternate Cable Cast On creates a nearly invisible cast on which flows into ribbing of any variety while providing a stretchy and hardwearing edge perfect for the edges of many garments and accessories. You will learn both techniques during this one hour seminar
