Episode Three: The Cast-on




Show notes

Questions? Check the Ravelry thread first.

Today we will begin our sweater with the first sleeve, first casting on with the Two-Tail Long-Tail Cast-on, then working make-1 (m1) increases with a backwards loop. Plus a little guidance on altering sleeve length. Be sure to get more yarn if you plan to alter the pattern.

Happy knitting!
xoxo,
