How To: Provisional Cast On Video

Learn how to tackle the provisional cast on method, also known as the open cast on method, in this free knitting tutorial. This cast on method uses a length of waste yarn that is removed later to reveal stitches from your main yarn underneath. These revealed stitches are then placed back on the needle and knit in the opposite direction. This is a great method for making hems or for knitted projects that are closed off at both ends - such as a knit toy.
