⁠Knitted v.s Lace Cast-on⁠
⁠
When I first shared a video on the Icelandic Bind-off, a knitter shared with me a video showing it done with a twist. This created a very interesting conversation on what is “right”. I got a lot of questions about the knitted cast-on.⁠
⁠
Here I show the traditional knitted cast-on that creates stitches with the leading leg in front, vs the knitted lace cast on that creates stitches with the leading leg in back.⁠
⁠
The lace cast on version is popular with lace because it creates a more invisible edge and it’s very stretchy.⁠
⁠
The knitted cast on creates western mounted (leading leg in front) stitches and creates an edge that is still elastic, but is a bit more stable and holds it’s shape.⁠
⁠
How do you know which to use (say it with me) SWATCH!!❤️😂❤️⁠

Yesterday I posted a quick video, and I wanted to follow it up with this longer 2 part video. It’s one of my favorite tricks, but I didn’t come up with it until after the book, so I’ll have to save it for later. Hope you like it.⁠
