Hey everyone! Provisional cast on is great with you want to either graft your finish project together, work in the other direction or add a decorative border later. This tutorial is showing the crochet "zipper" cast on. It allows you to "unzip" your provisional cast on later, much easier then my other video. Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for coming back and watching!
Items Mentioned:
Clover Bamboo Double Pointed Needles size 8 (5mm)
Boye Aluminum Crochet Hook Size H (5mm)
Caron Simply Soft Yarn in Grape and Light Pink
Crochet Provisional 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 all stitches are cast on. Chain a few off of the needle to leave a tail for later when we unzip our provisional cast on. Place a stitch marker or a safety pin works great, through the remaining loop on your crochet hook. You will need this to hold your chains in place.
Now work your project or pattern. When your ready to "unzip" your cast on, take an empty needle and pick up the right leg of your stitch. Kind of an over and under method. Once you have the same stitches picked up as your worked stitches, take the safety pin out of your chain. Pull, or unzip, your cast on. It will reveal your "live" stitches on your needle. Now you can go ahead and work your stitches in the other direction.
