Basic
Cast-on Stitch
This stitch adds wonderful dimension! Brazilian by nature, it is
highly adaptable to many variations. Different threads, placement
and number in the grouping can all be varied to create
stunning results. |

1. Begin by bringing thread up at A.
Insert needle tip at B and out again at
A, pushing the needle through so that just the eye remains topside at B.
Wrap thread across front of pointer finger and around the back of it to
form a loop (as in knitting). Insert the tip of the needle into the
loop, remove your finger, and pull the loop down to the base of the
needle (at A). |

2. Continue adding Cast-on stitches
until you have the required number.
Hold the stitches on the needle flat to
the fabric with thumb topside and index finger underneath, and pull the
needle through and away from you until all of the thread is through the
Cast-on loops |
|
 |
3. Slowly pull the needle/thread
toward you and slide the Cast-on wrap down the remaining thread toward
B.
Insert needle at B and pull all thread through the fabric. Give a firm
tug on the thread to "set" it.
This completes one Cast-on section . |
