Meglet Dec 2024 4:06pm, 29 Dec 2024 25,451 posts	Quote Pin Meglet Are you looking for a stretchy cast on? I think I used a Norwegian one. I’ve found trying a different YouTube clip can make all the difference if you don’t understand something first time.
EvilPixie Dec 2024 4:07pm, 29 Dec 2024 60,651 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie It’s the sockhead cowl So a stretchy cast on (then castoff which I also don’t know!) I’ve only ever done a standard cast on cast off!
Meglet Dec 2024 5:22pm, 29 Dec 2024 25,452 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I’m not even sure there’s a ‘standard’ cast on! There are so many. But definitely worth picking a stretchy one. Unless you’re going for a specific look (eg matching the cast-off edge) it probably doesn’t matter which one you use.

EvilPixie Dec 2024 5:44pm, 29 Dec 2024 60,659 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie Thanks! I have been knitting on and off for years but very basic stuff mainly just knit and purl! Tried a few things once but not enough to feel confident I must do more now it's winter with longer nights!
Meglet Dec 2024 6:02pm, 29 Dec 2024 25,454 posts	Quote Pin Meglet Knitting is just knit and purl stitches anyway, it’s just what order you do them in, so it’s just how confident you feel about following a pattern I guess.
