How to cast on: quick and easy! | Knitting machine tutorial | Brother KH-260

Easy method for beginners. You need a cast-on comb and claw weights to follow this tutorial.

I’m using a Brother KH-260, but you can do this cast-on on any flat bed knitting machine (Knitmaster, Bond, Silver Reed, Studio, Toyota etc).

This quick and easy machine knitting cast-on is great for knitting quick swatches. It's not a neat finished edge, but it won’t unravel.

Yarn used in this video: 2 strands of Fifty/Fifty (50% acrylic, 50% wool) from Yeoman Yarns.

I try to avoid buying new acrylic and synthetic yarn (because of plastic pollution...), but you can often find acrylic/wool mix yarns second-hand - check out your local charity shop or thrift store, or eBay! You can unravel and reuse the yarn again and again, as waste yarn or for practising new techniques. Happy knitting!
