I learned so much about cast-ons while recording this video guide. I know that every time I start a project from now on, I’m going to pick a new cast-on from among these techniques. I hope you are as inspired as I was by all these options. Happy knitting! There are some basics in this section and the next that you should review before you start exploring the cast-ons in this course.
