Hey everyone! Day 9 of our Knit-A-Thon we have the Chinese Waitress Cast on. This unique cast on is reversible, which most cast ons are not, so this will work perfectly with reversible patterns. Another good thing about this cast on it that it doesn't require a tail to cast on. This is in the knit on category so no measuring a length for your tail. Hope you guys like this one.

Remember to come back every day @ 2PM Pacific time for a new video until March 31st.

Thanks for coming back and watching!

Instructions:
Make a slip knot and place it on your needle.
Hold you needles like you would be working a row, so slip knot in your left hand.
Place your right needle next to the slip knot, under your left needle but over your working yarn.
Bring yarn up over your left needle and around your right, as to knit, pull loop through, between the stitches on your left needle.
Pull out your right needle and re-position it in your stitch.
Place your right needle, still holding on to this stitch, under your left needle and repeat.
*Bring yarn over left needle, around right needle as to knit a stitch.
Pull loop through your stitches. Now you have two on your right needle. Bind off your first stitch. Pull out your right needle and re-position your stitch. - repeat from * until desired stitches are cast on.
When done, slip last stitch on right needle onto your left one.

TIP: When starting your project, coming up to that slip knot, just drop it off and don't work it into your pattern.

You can either bind off regularly, then sew up the bottom. Do a 3-needle bind off or the Kitchener Stitch which I used in the video. Cut a tail, about 15. Divide stitches evenly onto two needles. There will be an extra stitch on one needle. Just add that to one of your stitches while working this stitch. Make sure right side of work is facing you. Kitchener Stitch: Step 1: First st front needle as to purl, leave on needle. Step 2: First st back needle as to purl, pull off. Step 3: Next st on back needle as to knit, leave on needle. Step 4: First st on front needle as to knit, pull off. Step 5: First st front needle as to purl, leave on needle. Repeat Steps 2 through 5. Fasten off final stitches.
