In this class we are diving into the tubular cast-on. We often see tubular edges along 1x1 rib on machine-knitted garments. It a modern and professional-looking edge you can use in your own designs or when making small adjustments to an existing hat or sweater pattern in your library. There are many ways to create this cast-on, and we will be learning the long-tail tubular cast-on method. No provisional cast-on, crochet chains, or picking up stitches required. This technique can intimidate even long-time knitters, but once mastered you will experience the most profound sense of accomplishment! This class is a wonderful opportunity to give it a go alongside other knitters looking to up their trim game.
