Knitted Cast-On a nice firm cast on, great for when you need to cast on an overwhelming number of stitches
Step 1: IN Starting with one loop on left-hand needle, with right-hand needle, enter stitch from left side, going underneath the needle towards the right.
Step 2: WRAP Wrap yarn over right-hand needle going clockwise, if the needle were the center of the clock.
Step 3: BACK Pull the wrapped yarn back through the stitch on the left-hand needle, reversing the direction in which you entered.
Step 4: ON Place this new loop on the left-hand needle—it is now a stitch!
Step 5: REPEAT Continue until you have the desired number of stitches—remember that your original loop counts as a stitch, too!
