Note: This class included bind-offs in 2024, but now is presented as two separate classes.

Do you love those gorgeous rounded cast-on edges on store-bought knits? That’s a tubular cast-on, and with a little bit of planning, it can be yours on your handknits as well! Join me, Romi Hill, and learn several methods of tubular cast-ons, both flat and in the round, and which is best for different situations. Psst: I’ll even show you how to do a cast-on for 2x2 ribbing! We’ll be working on swatches in this class that can then be used for my class Totally Tubular Bind-Offs! The right cast-on can take your knits to the next level.

Worsted-weight yarn (tip: bring light-colored yarn that doesn’t split), US 5 and 7 needles (we’ll be using Magic Loop, so bring a long circular needle, or alternatively you can bring two shorter circular needles of the same size), US size 1 and 2 circular needles, size F crochet hook, smooth cotton waste yarn.
