"And that is as invisible an increase as you will ever get - knit into the stitch below from the back."
- Elizabeth Zimmermann
I've tried this increase and, as a continental knitter, it's my new favorite! It's one movement instead of two that would be required for the Make One, and it's just as invisible.
Enjoy!!

The Italian Cast-On is the perfect invisible, stretchy edge for ribbing — especially for brioche knitting, socks, and any project where you want a polished finish.
In this video, I’ll show you step-by-step how to work the Italian Cast-On and why it creates such a smooth transition into 1x1 ribbing.
✨ Why knitters love this cast-on:
- Creates a seamless edge for ribbing (no ridge or line)
- Stretches beautifully — ideal for brioche projects
- Works best with worsted to bulky yarns
