Hello and welcome to your December Confident Knitting tutorial! Today we’re sharing a really clever cast on that sets you up beautifully for the brim of Gudrun Johnston’s Stellar Hat, December’s Confident Knitting pattern. I have to say, I really love techniques like this. Low effort to learn, great for so many situations… but also, I’m willing to guess, a novel method for many of our readers. It’s a really fantastic cast on to have in your metaphorical back pocket: it’s the long-tail and German twisted cast on for rib!
