Crochet rib Tubular Cast On

The reason I like this cast on is because it really "unzips" so much easier than how I used to do it. Before I saw this clever method I used to take scrap yarn and make crochet chains and knit into them. Like it's demonstrated here . However when I was ready to pull the scrap yarn out I always had a bit of a problem it would not just "unzip" like I thought it would I would always have to cut and pull it out stitch by stitch. The technique where you actually crochet stitches on to the knitting needle is much more efficient....

All About Circular Knitting – Laylock Knitwear Design

If your circular needle is too long, the stitches will be stretched, and it will be difficult to knit them. There are techniques such as Magic Loop, or knitting on two circular needles that solve this problem, and you can watch the tutorials for them at KnittingHelp , but to begin with you will probably want to master how to knit normally in the round.

I find 60cm/24in-long circular needles are...

Step Two

Now divide the cast on stitches evenly between three needles, by slipping each stitch purlwise:

DO NOT KNIT OR PURL THEM.. only slip (or move them) from one needle to another.

For 64 stitches, divide to 22, 20, 22 stitches.

For 48 stitches, divide to 16, 16, 16 stitches.

For 40 stitches, divide to 14, 12, 14 stitches.
