This is a very nice and neat way – and an easy one too – to cast on a number of stitches at
the end of a row. You will need a crochet hook of about the same size as the needle you are
using.

Work the row to end. Place the needle in your left hand so that the other side is facing you.
If you worked a right side row, the wrong side should be facing and if you worked a wrong
side row the right side should be facing.

THE START

Insert the crochet hook Catch the yarn and pull a loop
in the last stitch on the (= 1 stitch on the crochet hook)
left needle.
…

CASTING ON

Bring the yarn under and Bring the crochet hook in Pull a
loop through the loop
behind the needle. front of the needle and on the crochet hook.
… pick up the yarn. (= 1 stitch more on the
… needle and 1 stitch on
… the crochet hook)

1/3
Repeat these 3 steps until you have cast on the desired
number of stitches minus 1.

… Place the stitch from the

… crochet hook on the needle.

Tata, finished. Turn your work and start the row.

Now, this is for working back and forth.

In the round.

If – for example – you are working a pullover top down and you
need to add stitches at the neckline to close it and start working
in the round: cast on the right number of stitches, knit the first
stitch from the stitches you need to join to and pass the 2nd
stitch on the right needle over the knitted stitch and off the
needle.

Voilà you can start working in the round.
