Fashion Knitting Methods ~ The Two Needle Method.
Two Needle Method—Or English Cable.
To cast on make a slip loop in the yarn as given for the Thumb method, at least three inches from the end. It is not necessary to try and gauge the length of yarn required to cast on the number of stitches with this method, as you will be working from the ball of yarn.
Slip this loop on to the left hand knitting needle.
Insert right hand needle into
loop holding yarn in right hand
and wind yarn under and over
the needle.
Draw the new lop through
the first ioop on left hand needle
thus forming a second loop.
Pass newly made loop onto the
left hand needle.
Place point of right hand
needle between two loops on
left hand needle and wind yarn
under and over the right hand
needle point and draw this
new loop through between the
two stitches on the left hand
needle. Slip this loop on to left
hand needle.
4. Repeat action described in paragraph 3 between last stitches on left hand needle until the required number of stitches have been cast on.
