In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn several different cast-on methods that will add nuance and style to your projects. We’ll study a few different cast-ons, and talk about when they might be helpful or suitable, including the old Norwegian cast-on (aka the German twisted cast-on), the slip knot cast-on, the alternating cable cast-on, and the Italian tubular cast-on. You’ll have an opportunity to practice each method and create reference cards with swatches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrerequisites\u003c\/strong\u003e: Participants should be comfortable with the long-tail cast-on, knit and purl stitches, and the standard bind-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHomework\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMin\/max number of participants\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials to bring along\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 skein light-colored worsted weight yarn, purchased from Spun (we suggest \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/yarn-fiber\/products\/lanas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBerroco Lanas\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/products\/cascade-220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCascade 220\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/cascade\/products\/cascade-220-superwash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCascade 220 Superwash\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize US8 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/all-knitting-needles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eknitting needles\u003c\/a\u003e (straight or circular)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize US8 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/double-point-knitting-needles-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDPNs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize H or I \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/crochet-hooks-sets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ecrochet hook\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/scissors-snips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eScissors or snips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety pins or locking \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/collections\/stitch-markers-holders-stoppers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003estitch markers\u003c\/a\u003e for your swatch labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53990206898389,"sku":"8851361","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/8133\/9605\/files\/Cast-on.jpg?v=1729700832","url":"https:\/\/spunannarbor.com\/products\/cast-ons-beyond-the-basic-july-2026","provider":"Spun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
