How I start to knit my toys. Cast on with hook from middle.
I want to show how I cast on stitches for starting to knit my toys.I make it with crochet hook.
At first make a simple loop of yarn.
Then insert a crochet hook through that loop and grab the yarn and pull it
through the loop .
Then draw another loop through this loop on the crochet hook. We have one stitch.
Repeat until you have all the stitches you want.
Usually I start to knit toys with 6 stitches.
Slip the stitches from the crochet hook onto your double-pointed needles.
Pull on the short end of the yarn to tighten the loop and close the circle.
And continue to knit as usually.
I hope that it will be helpful for you 8)))
Fantastic, that has taken all the fiddly bits of starting off knitting in the round. Great :o)

What a great idea! I prefer knitting in the round but always find the casting on and distributing the needles to be tedious. This will make it so much easier!
ReplyDeleteWished I had seen this before I finished.
ReplyDeleteWow! Magic loop for knitting. Genius. 🙏🏻❤️
