Cable Cast-on Method
The Cable cast-on method creates a cast-on similar to the cable cast-on in needle knitting. It creates a sturdy edge that is elastic that is perfect for ordinary edges, end of rows and ribbing. Thank you, Becky Hanson, for taking the time to work this out for the community.
Tools needed
- Knitting board
- Crochet hook
- Tie a slip knot leaving a
3-inch tail and place on peg 2.
- Bring the working yarn to the outside of
the knitting board.
- Pass the crochet hook through the slip knot that is on
peg 2 from the inside of the knitting board
and crochet a loop grabbing the working yarn
from the front.
- Place the loop on your crochet hook on peg
4.
- Go between the pegs and grab the working
yarn with your crochet hook, crochet a loop and
place it on peg 6.
- Repeat step 5 until you have wraps on all
of the pegs on both sides of the knitting
board.
- Put the chain that is on the crochet hook on peg 2 so that there are two wraps on that peg.
