STRETCHY CAST ON KNITTING TUTORIAL :: 2 favourite methods for knitting flexible cast ons

The CABLE CAST ON and the OLD NORWEGIAN CAST ON (aka German Twisted Cast On) are my two favourite stretchy cast ons for flexible knitted edges. This knitting tutorial demonstrates how to work these two stretchy COs in depth, comparing how the edges look when with both flat knitting, and knitting in the round. I discuss how much yarn length you need to work each cast on. Then, I compare the two techniques also suggests the best uses for them, for different knitted items and stitch patterns.

Do you have any advice on how to knit a stretchy cast on? Are there other methods you prefer? Let us know in the comments below :)
