The Channel Island Cast On, is as it's name suggests, is from the Channel Island.
It is a strong, attractive, stretchy cast on, one classically used with gurnsey type sweater, but it is also excellent for socks or use as a cast on for top down sweaters
It is not particularly hard, but it does have some details that are important.

Traditionally, the cast on is followed by a few rows of garter stitch, but it is not unattractive when followed immediately by 1 X 1 ribbing.
Thank you for this cast-on method which was new to me - I usually make the picot CO differently but it was not as stretchy as the Channel Island CO you show here. I have an inkling that it will become my favorite CO for top-down garments and socks!
ReplyDeleteMe, Laura, again!
ReplyDeleteIs there a matching Channel Island BO ?
Now that I started with the CI-CO ;-)
