How to cast on with loops

Keywords: loop,

In this DROPS video we show how you can cast on your work with loops.

This is a simple cast on alternative that is easy for beginners. This is also how we cast on new sts at the side of the work e.g. when we are knitting a front piece and sleeves in one, and cast on new sts each side for the sleeves.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Dieser Anschlag ist sehr schön und elastisch. Gibt es auch eine Methode um abzuketten mit gleichem/ähnlichen Maschenbild? Besten Dank!

I learned the thumb cast on, but it had one more step. Before I slip the yarn off the left thumb, I take the other strand of yarn. And cast over the needle with right hand. Then slip the thumb loop over the top of the needle and pull both strands snug. It make a good solid cast-on, almost like the cast-on was a knitted row. Hope this makes sense. Not sure how to do a video, but hope you try to see if it works for you.
