Tutorial for attractive cast on edge detail
This cast on method makes an attractive edging for many types of item. It is a lot easier to do than it looks. Try practicing with chunky needles, say 6mm, and some left over chunky yarn. I've opted for starting with a slip knot using the double thickness yarn but you can start with a slip knot using the single thickness yarn.
I also found it is better to follow the cast on row with a few rows of knit stitch to stop the edge from "curling".
Just experiment and see what works for you...
Tip - remember to do the "yarn over" in between each stitch.

Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial. I have been looking for a nice easy cast on that gives you a pretty edge but a lot of them are continental cast on's & I just struggle so much with that way.
