There are many different ways of casting on when knitting. But the thumb cast-on, which is also known as the single needle cast-on, or backward loop cast-on, is probably one of the simplest. And this of course, makes it particularly 'beginner knitter' friendly. As so many people learn knitting more easily, by being shown rather than reading about it, I thought I would share this excellent video tutorial, from Patricia Cox, at the Baldy Sheep Company , which shows you how to master this method. This quick method is excellent if you have a lot of stitches to cast on, or you need a stretchy, flexible edge (such as in knitting a lacy type pattern)
