Casting on stitches with circular needles
-
Step 1
Cast on stitches onto the needles using the same method as with straight needles.
-
Step 2
Make sure the stitches are well placed and aligned in front of you.
-
Step 3
If you have circular needles with a very long cable, split the stitches in half for easier handling. This is called the magic loop.
-
Step 4
Once you have all the stitches cast on, place a stitch marker on the right needle to indicate the beginning of the round.
-
Step 5
To close the circle, simply start knitting with the stitch indicated by the pattern.
-
Step 6
At the end of each round, move the stitch marker from one needle to the other and continue knitting.
