This is a great alternate cast on for K1P1 rib. However, as you have suggested, it is not as straightforward when one wishes to knit a K2,P2 rib. If you cast on for a K2,P2 rib, you end up with a very crusty, uneven edge. After much trial and error, I have found after casting for K1,P1 , some stitch manipulation is required to convert it to K2,P2. (Also see Willy Wormhead tutorial!).
This is the best! I just did a tubular cast-on for a hat last night and this cast-on this morning for a sweater. It looks so good and is so much easier to do across 200+ stitches. As always, Jen’s directions are the perfect balance of providing enough detail and being concise. Genius!
There isn’t a bind off that matches particularly closely so I would suggest a tubular bind off is pretty invisible in ribbing so that would be a good choice. 👍🏻
It depends a bit how it comes out for you. I tend to find it to be not stretchy enough of a top down sock, but if you’re a looser knitter it might be absolutely fine. I think you’d need to try it and see. I hope that helps. 👍🏻
Finally a FULL tutorial that shows how to join in the round, thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the video, I am casting on a hat tomorrow and will practice this.
Very versatile because of it being reversible and sturdy and also a lot of knit and purlcombinations!

How would one adjust the stitches for a 3x2 (K3, P2) rib using this cast-on?

Thank you so much! 🥰
This is so much easier than Italian cast on. I can do this and even remember it. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazingly simple and great-looking - thanks!🥰
Thank you. This will be really useful!
You're welcome! It's a neat little thing!
Hi 👋 !! Do you have a video for provisional cast on in the round ?? Thank you 😊
СПАСИБО!!
This is so much easier than I expected! What would be the best bind off on the other side to get a similar look?

Is there a video for the cast off in this method?
@@photoaddict555 I haven’t done one.
Would you recommend this cast on for top down socks?

@@ACTechniques thank you. I’ll give it a try.
