Matching Cast-Ons and Bind-Offs: a workshop with Ann Budd

Learn three to four interesting and elastic cast-ons and their matching bind-offs with nationally known knitwear designer Ann Budd! Armed with these techniques, you can get the same look at the cuff and toe of socks knitted from the toe up or top down, the hem and neck edges of sweaters, and the two ends of scarves.

Skills needed:

Advanced beginner knitting skills required: Must be comfortable knitting in the round with double pointed needles or a suitable substitute.

Materials: Tightly twisted sport, DK, or worsted-weight wool yarn (you’ll use just part of a ball); a set of double-pointed needles in a size appropriate for your yarn (two circulars or the “magic loop” method can be substituted); tapestry needle.
