Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. Continuing on with our cast on series, here’s a super simple knitting tip that can save you in a pinch:
Say that you’re on the train or at the office and you only have your yarn, your pattern, and the called for needle size for your chosen project – what can you do if you need to make your cast on more stretchy for your project? You can simply hold the two needles together and cast on as usual. This effectively increases your gauge without any added fuss. It’s so simple and very effective. In fact, several of our volunteers have had great success with this technique! Sometimes even the simplest techniques can get us the results that we’re looking for!
