How to Do the Garter Tab Cast-On

The garter tab cast on method is the perfect one for your next triangle shawl! It's a little tricky but super handy for curved patterns. If you've ever knitted a shawl or designed a pattern for one yourself, you've probably noticed that your construction of the shawl itself can sometimes be pretty tricky! And when it comes to triangle shawls, if you're casting on from the top of the shawl itself and increasing out to create the pattern, you'll probably notice that there's a small gap in the center, where the fabric bows. The garter tab cast on is the perfect trick for dealing with that little space! This cast on method creates a small square of garter stitch that will be used at a later point to join in the garter stitch edging from your shawl and fill out that gap in your shawl.
