Provisional Cast On Tutorial

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
I want to get this tutorial on the provisional cast on up for you before I post the pattern for the Outer blanket. That way you can start right away even if you don’t know how to do the provisional cast on. It is a technique that is used quite a bit so it is a good one to have in your back pocket.

Now, off to work on finishing up the blanket! I can’t wait to have it all together.

I’ll be back soon with more…

    You are so talented at demonstrating those daunting techniques and making them look like fun! Now I have to find a pattern that requires this cast on method and try my hand at it! Thanks!

    Thanks for the great demonstration. I have a few patterns that I’m keen to try that call for a provisional cast on and I’d never heard of it before. This was so easy to understand.
