Refined Cable Cast-on in the Round // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates a refined method of working the cable cast on in the round that allows you to keep the RS of the cast on facing when you join in the round. It also fixes the discontinuity of the CO edge due to the difference in how the first two sts and last st of the standard cable cast on differ structurally from the rest of the cast on stitches, so that the edge is smooth, with perfect continuity. This video assumes you know how to do a standard cable CO.
