Casting on Stitches Mid-row

by Stephanie

I am making mittens. I have to transfer a 7 stitches to holder and then cast on 3 stitches.

How do you cast on in the middle of a project?

YOUR ANSWER


Hi Stephanie

To cast on stitches mid way through a row you turn the work so that the last stitch you knitted is on the left hand needle.

Insert the right hand needle between the first two stitches on the left hand needle. Wrap the yarn around the right hand needle and draw the loop through the gap between the stitches. Place the loop onto the left hand needles as you would for a normal cast on edge.

Repeat the process until you have cast on as many stitches as you need, then turn the work again. Your cast on stitches are now on the right hand needle.

Then you just continue knitting the stitches on the left hand needle as per your knitting instructions.

Notice the different look and feel on some pages?

I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.

So in the meantime, I hope you will forgive the switch from one look to another as you navigate through the site...
