CHRISTIANE'S STOCKING

Stitchmastery chart making software: stitchmastery.com
The provisional cast on technique I used (CO half the number needed, and then doubling it in the following round)can be used by starting with just about any CO method using waste yarn. Here's a video on using it with the crochet CO to create a PCO with a lifeline: youtu.be/cTxQAvV52sE
