It is not the easiest cast on to learn, but it is an excellent, attractive, stretchy cast on suitable for ribbing-- (the Russian woman who taught it to me said "It is THE cast on to use for ribbing")
Thank you for this Russian cast-on. Love it & am trying it on my new sweater. I'm using Lamb's Pride worsted (single ply & fuzzy-ish) so its a little tough to pull the final stitch on - but that would be the case with most cast-ons I think.
ReplyDeleteYou are a super teacher!
Helen, Finally got it after viewing many many many times. Finally I turned off the sound and concentrated on the hand movements. One slight turn of the left hand did the trick to open up the stitch. I also found that if I pull the yarn back at a right angle to the needle it will snug up very easily. Thank you! Now on to the Russian cast off!
