This is a great cast on when you need it very stretchy. It’s perfect for socks, legwarmers, turtlenecks and the bottoms of sweaters.
And – it’s a lot of fun to work.
Give it a try!

you’re welcome! glad it was helpful!
I call this the crochet cast-on. It matches the standard bind-off and slip stitch edges. If you need even more stretch, you can add a chain between each cast-on stitch. It also makes a great provisional cast-on if you use waste yarn.
ooh i never thought about a chain in between but that makes sense! and yes, i believe Chinese Waitress and Crochet CO’s are the same.
thanks for commenting!
Exactly. Never heard it called this before.
