I’ve been testing all kinds of knitting techniques during the years. And I love to test new ones in search of the perfect ones for me and my designs. Though I have already found some of my absolute favorites… that I will share with you in some upcoming blog posts.
The first technique I’m sharing with you is my
favorite when casting on toe up socks:
Figure 8 Cast On
The CO is made with circular needles holding
them parallel and wrapping the yarn in figure 8 around the needles. Leaving a
short tail of the yarn wrap it around the upper needle and work the yarn
alternately around and between the needles. Continue wrapping a figure 8 around
the needles until you have the desired number of sts, ending with a bottom
loop. You’ll now have an equal number of sts on both needles. The CO is ready
only after working once the sts on the 2nd needle: rotate the needles so you’re
holding them with your left hand and pull the bottom needle through the sts so
that they’re on the cable. With the right hand needle K the first st of left hand
needle and K the following sts tbl. Now the CO is ready.
