Already in right-handed versionHow to knit a "stretchy cast-on" There is an explanation page, and we have now created an additional left-handed version.
I've never held a crochet hook in my left hand before, so I apologize if the video is awkward!
When knitting with this method, one important thing to check is where you insert the needle into the stitches, so I hope you will also refer to how to insert the needle from the second stitch onwards in the video.
Ronique's book "Winter Crochet Crafts" also features works that incorporate this cast-on technique.
The knitting method is not complicated, so please give it a try.
Video crochet instructions
This video explains how to crochet a "stretchy cast-on" (left-handed version).
Generally, cast-on stitches are made using a chain stitch, but when knitting something to wear, it is recommended that the cast-on stitch also has some stretch, as this will make it more comfortable to wear.
The knitting pattern symbols are shown in the same way as regular chains, so how to read the knitting pattern is as follows:How to knit "chain stitch"Please refer to the page.

Patterns Featuring FSC
Paid knitting pattern "Ribbed scarf"
This is a scarf that you start knitting by making an elastic cast-on.
The simple design makes it easy to use for both men and women, so you might want to knit a pair in different colors.
This is a scarf that is knitted horizontally, so there are fewer trips back and forth and it's easier to see the finish line.
