In this video, I'm going to demonstrate a slingshot cast-on that alternates knits and
purls.
And this isn't a super sturdy cast-on, but it's a good stretchy cast-on, and it's pretty
easy to work if you're familiar with working a slingshot, or a long tail cast-on.
It'd be a good choice for cuff-down socks or the brims of hat.
We actually have a...there are a few different cast-ons that are good for that, kind of my
standard go-to is the German twisted cast-on, and I'll give you a link to that video, and
click the little I in the upper right-hand corner.
German twisted is a good choice for hats, this is another one, it's pretty easy to work
if you're familiar with the slingshot method.
This video is sponsored by Knitter's Pride, I am using their Bamboo Double Pointed Needles.
These are larger gauge Bamboo Double Pointed Needles, and these are 8-inches long, and
size from 4 to 10.
And these are what I use in my videos all the time because they're kind of perfect for
demonstrating things.
But also what I use in larger gauge knitting, like if I'm finishing off the top of a hat,
or I'm knitting a sleeve or something, I think these are great, they have a nice soft touch
to them, they're really smooth.
If you click the little I in the upper right-hand corner, I'll give you a link to more information
about these needles.
They are definitely go-to needles for me.
I'm sorry, okay, I'm back, I'm ready to demonstrate this cast-on.
Let's go ahead and take a look.
Okay, here I've got a bulky yarn and a little bit...the cast-on finished and a little bit
of knitting.
This is knit one, purl one, you can actually cast this on any knit, purl combination.
I've just done knit one, purl one.
And you can see it is very stretchy, actually, I would end up stretching it right off the
needles if I pulled it all the way.
It's very stretchy, but not sturdy, so it's probably best if you were using a pretty tight
gauge, or if you just really need a lot of stretch in the ribbing.
It's worth a try and it's actually kind of a fun cast-on to work.
So since it's a long tail cast-on, I'm going to leave myself a tail and make a slip knot.
If you're familiar with doing the slingshot cast-on without a slipknot, that's fine too.
I've got the working yarn in back and the tail end in front.
I take my two pincher fingers and put it between these strands of yarn, and then take my other
fingers and grab the yarn, and put my...separate my fingers and hold the yarn back like that.
Okay, so this is a setup for a slingshot cast-on, and we're just going to alternate knit and
purl stitches.
Now, I have this one stitch on here, so it's up to me if I wanna start with a knit or a
purl.
I'm gonna go ahead and start with a knit.
So I'm gonna talk through this and go slowly, and I'll just repeat it several times.
So for the knit, I'm going to go under the front, over the back, under both, and back
to center.
Now if you're familiar with a long tail cast-on, you can see this is just kind of looped around,
it's not a really strong stitch.
And if I loosen up tension, it wants to unravel.
So I'm gonna keep my tension on here, and I'll show you the knit one more time.
Under the front, over the back, under both, and back to center.
Under the front, over the back, under both, and back to center.
That's the knit, now, let me show you the purl and then I'm gonna show you how to alternate
because that's where it's the most fun.
So I go under both, from back to front, front to back, over the first, under the second,
back to center.
I'm gonna do...actually if I do another purl now it's going to start unraveling what I've
done, so I'm gonna alternate to a knit stitch now.
Under the front, over the back, under both, back to center.
And the Purl, under both, over the front, under the back, back to center.
Okay, let's do knit and purl again, this is knit, under the front, over the back, under
both, back to center.
And purl, from back to front, under both, over the front, under the back, okay.
Knit, under, over, and up, and back to center.
Purl, under both, over the front, under the back, and back to center.
Okay, that's it, that's it slowly, and it seems kind of cumbersome, but when you get
to working it, you do get in a swing.
That was a knit and a purl, because...that was a knit and a purl.
You get into the swing a bit, let me demonstrate it slower one more time because I think that
probably scared people.
This is a knit, and a purl, and this is what I just did.
Just keep practicing is my point.
Now, if you end with a purl, you wanna take the tail end, you wanna stop one stitch before
your final total, and take the tail end, and do a backwards loop cast-on to seal the whole
thing.
Because these just...they wanna come unravel, they're not especially sturdy.
If you end it with the purl, then you wanna do the same thing with the working yarn.
And like I said, this can be worked in any stitch combination and you can have...this
is just knit purl, knit purl, but you can do.
Well, now, actually I wanna test this out.
I'll update my website with this information because I tried to work two purls next to
each other, and I was worried they were gonna come unraveled.
I'll test this out and I'll have the information for you if you click through to my website.
Many thanks to Knitter's Pride and their Bamboo DPN's for sponsoring this video.
I love these needles, you can see them in my videos all the time.
Good luck.
