Make-n-Take Crochet Chain Provisional Cast On For A Rolled Hem with Emily O'Brien
Sunday April 27, 12:00-12:30PM EST
A provisional cast on allows you to go back to the beginning of your knitting and work from the opposite end. This cast on is extremely useful for things like rolled hems, or even if you want to start a project and aren’t sure what you want the edge to look like yet. We’ll be using my Wolf Moon Spell Pouch Pattern as an easy make & take project to teach this method. The drawstring channel of this bag is made using a rolled hem that utilizes the crochet chain provisional cast on, so it’s the perfect quick project to practice a new skill!
Supplies:
- 20g mini skein of fingering weight yarn
- Waste yarn in a different color
- US 2/2.75mm DPNs or long circular for Magic Loop (or any size where you are happy with your gauge for the bag)
- Extra similar sized DPNs or long circular for folded hem join
- Size F/3.75mm Crochet Hook (or similar size)
- Practice creating a crochet chain.
