Hey everyone! I recently found this interesting cast on, Picot Cast On or Picot-Point Chain. I think it's so unique and I diffenitly will be using this on a future project. Let me know what you think of this cast on and if you have or will be trying this out.

Crochet Cast On Instructions:
Make a slip knot on crochet hook. Hold yarn and knitting needle in left hand and crochet hook in right hand.
With yarn behind needle, go over the needle with hook and grab yarn, pull through slip knot on hook. Also, can see this as working a single crochet over needle.
Take yarn between needle and hook, to the back and repeat. Working a single crochet over needle and draw through loop on hook. Placing yarn between hook and needle to back.
Repeat until one less amount of stitches needed are cast on. Slip remaining stitch on hook, onto needle.
