Cast On Methods

Find Your Favorite Technique

There are many different ways to get stitches on the needle so you can knit them, and it may seem like there are more methods than there really are because there are so many different names for the same thing.

This quick guide will run through some of the most popular methods for casting on, as well as some of their more popular names.

The wrap cast on is one of the easiest cast on methods to execute, but it's not the easiest to perform because it is somewhat difficult to keep and even tension when you knit with it.

Still, it is a good choice for beginners because it is quick and easy to cast on this way. It's also a stretchy cast on, making it good for sweaters and socks. You can also use it on lace projects and with other patterns where you don't want the cast on edge to detract attention from the knitting.

Also known as: loop cast on, e-wrap cast on, single cast on.
