Thanks for the quick tutorial! I have a pattern (the Andor by Linda Marveng) and it starts with "Using a long circular needle and double yarn, cast on 250 sts. Continue with single yarn and work in rib." I read in some forum post (which I cannot find) that this is to make the cast on stronger. When she says to use double yarn, do you think she means the method in this video, or to cast on as if I were to knit with double yarn (even though we switch to a single yarn)? I am not sure.
It’s been 2 months so I hope you’ve found an answer. I’m getting ready to do a double-stranded cast-on and they mean just that......cast on using 2 strands. It stabilizes the edges. So to use the technique in the video, you’d need 4 strands and could work from the inside and outside of 2 balls simultaneously. Hope this helps.
Clever stuff this - would never have thought of that.
Awesome! Thank you!
