Tillybuddy's Very Stretchy Cast On

This fully-captioned knitting technique video tutorial demonstrates how to do Tillybuddy's Very Stretchy Cast On, which is excellent for casting on cuffs for hats, mitts, and socks. It provides a very stretchy start to ribbing, while also collapsing back to a neat and tidy, no-flare edge at rest. This video includes a demonstration of the characteristics of the cast on, as well as detailed instructions on how to work it and how to join in the round. Circular needles are used in the video, but tips and tricks are also offered for working the cast on with double-pointed needles for smaller circumferences.

Patterns that use this technique include:
