It’s quite a stretchy cast on (stretchier than the long tail cast on) so it’s great for things like socks and hat brims 🙂

@@LucindaMakes thank you. I’ve heard it mentioned many times, and I make a lot of hats, so you can guess what my next one will start with 🤓

I’m glad it was helpful!

I’m very glad I could help!

It’ll depend on the pattern you’re following. In a lot of cases when you return to stitches that have been stored on waste yarn you’ll need to join a new strand of yarn when you begin knitting them again. However, a pattern may specifically tell you to leave yarn attached, or not to break your yarn, or to break it after leaving a certain length to use, so in those cases you wouldn’t need to join a new strand of yarn.

@@LucindaMakes Thank you for your help! This particular pattern is a bit vague in that area, or it says "Break the strand and fasten securely" then just goes straight to doing the arms. I am making a little monster, and this is the first time I've done a pattern like this, also the first time using double pointed needles. It has been a great learning curve, and have picked up A lot but this part has gotten me! appreciate you responding, Great channel. <3

@@MadelineReid-y7r With that specific instruction phrasing I would break the yarn, weave in that end and then continue knitting with a new strand of yarn. Good luck with your project, I’m sure it’ll turn out great and I’m glad I could help!

Glad to hear it helped!

Hi Laura, where instructions tell you to increase / decrease there’s actually a lot of different stitches you could choose for this. In my own patterns I always specify the kind of increase / decrease to use, but I know some patterns can be more ambiguous and leave it up to the knitter to decide. I have individual videos for some different increases / decreases and there are playlists for these on my channel called ‘Knitting Increases’ and ‘Knitting Decreases’, so you might find it useful to take a look at these and perhaps knit a small swatch to try out some of the stitches and see which ones you like the look of for your project. I would probably recommend starting with M1L and M1R for increasing and k2tog and ssk for decreasing, as these are very commonly used and give a nice result. If there are any other stitches / techniques you’d like to see a video for, feel free to let me know and I’ll do my best to help!
