Twisted Loop Cast On - Knitting Help

0:50 - Start of instructions (make sure to start with a slip knot!)

Cast on using the twisted loop method! This is my favorite cast on because of how quick it is, how stretchy it is, and how unobtrusive it is to the overall pattern. This is the easiest and quickest way to work the twisted loop cast on! It's also called a backwards loop cast on.

Knit and purl through these loops as normal! Be careful on the first row, as the yarn may have a tendancy to split.

This cast on pairs really well with Lori's Twisty Bind Off.

Annotations
0:35 - You want the short tail to be around 6" to 8" long, so it's long enough to weave in but doesn't waste yarn

1:10 - Pulling too tight will make the edge tighter, which is bad if you need it to stretch like with ribbing (and leaving too loose may make the edge too stretchy and cause little loops)

3:33 - You can always twist the yarn back around the needle if you lose stitches when knitting the first row!
