In this workshop you will learn my new method of connecting cast-on stitches for working in the round without a jog. This smooth join is very neat and practically invisible.

In the theoretical part, the principle and the structure of the new join will be explained. In the practical part you will learn how to start and to work cast-on, how to connect the ends of the cast-on row without a jog, for the long tail cast-on and twisted German cast-on, using long circular needles (magic loop), very short circular needles or DPNs. Stitch patterns used: stocking stitch, single rib. As a bonus you will be shown how to make the invisible quick and easy join for bind-off, using a hook or sewing needle.

The necessary handouts will be provided.
Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, working in the round
