With this tutorial, I wanted to create a resource that compares all the major caston methods in knitting and puts it into perspective. How stretchy are they, how do they look, what projects can you use them, and of course how do you cast on stitches with the various methods. Because this tutorial is already quite long, there was not too much time to go slow, so kindly check out the tutorials on my blog for further details:
