Knitting: Casting-On

Casting on is the initial step in knitting, where stitches are created on the needle to begin a new project. It provides the foundation for your work and determines the number of stitches in your first row. Different cast-on methods offer varying degrees of stretch and decorative effects, influencing the overall look and functionality of your knitting.

Knitting: Binding-Off

Casting off, also known as binding off, is a fundamental technique in knitting used to secure stitches and create a finished edge. By working stitches and passing them over one another, the knitting is brought to a close, preventing unraveling. This technique is essential for completing projects, achieving tidy edges, and showcasing the final form of your knitted creation.

A slip knot is a basic and essential knot used to start casting on stitches in knitting. It creates a loop that you can use to secure your yarn to the knitting needle before beginning to cast on stitches.
