Video Tutorial: Backwards Loop Cast On

A few of my patterns, including the popular Butin Collar use this Backwards Loop Cast On... I realized it was time for me to shoot a quick video to teach you how to easily work this technique!


The Backwards Loop Cast On gives a very flexible base, which makes it great for an edge that you want to be able to block out (like in lace)... but not so much for an edge that needs structure (like on the bottom of a sweater).  It is also worked with only one strand of yarn, so it is perfect for working with pre-strung beads on the cast on row as well! 

Are there any other techniques you'd love to have me show you how to do with a quick video?  I've started a list, and am happy to add to it!

  1. Very nice. I think it is really helpful when a designer includes instruction about something that people might not know about, but it featured heavily in their patterns.
