Tubular Cast On

Support me by buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi! https://www.ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson

The tubular cast on creates an edgeless edge to k1p1 fabric, with the stitches from one side of the fabric wrapping uninterrupted around to the other side. This video demonstrates using the crochet cast on as a start to the tubular cast on. You can use waste yarn or the long tail of the project yarn to begin. You can work over an even number of sts or an odd number, and you can work flat or in the round.
