This video shows you how to work an alternating cable cast on. This is a great cast-on method for ribbing, and I explain in the video how to work different combinations of knit and purl stitches.
This video is part of our Confident Knitting series. The pattern featured in this video is the Terrain Mitts by @heyBrownBerry Marceline Smith, and it can be found, along with in-depth photo tutorials, in our book, Confident Knitting.
