The knitted cast on is a method to cast on stitches to the right of existing stitches or a slip knot. In Danish, one of the names for this cast on is a “school cast on”, indicating that this was the cast on girls used to learn in school. I have a housewife’s handbook from 1951 called “Femina”. That book calls the knitted cast on “knitting up new stitches”, a fine description. Femina uses the knitted cast on when constructing a buttonhole, but it is also a good cast on for modular knitting.<\/p>\n\n

Here, I am showing the knitted cast on to the right of existing stitches. The work is placed as if one was about to work across:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

First, knit one stitch as usual:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The left needle is inserted into the stitch from the back. This movement can also be thought of as putting the stitch back on the left needle through the back loop:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The right needle lets go, and one stitch has now been cast on:<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

To cast on more stitches, just repeat the steps above. Each time, work in the right stitch on the needle.<\/p>\n\n
