PROVISIONAL CAST-ON
Leaving tails about 4"/10cm long, tie a length of
scrap yarn together with the main yarn in a knot.
With your right hand, hold the knot on top of the
needle a short distance from the tip, then place
your thumb and index finger between the two
yarns and hold the long ends with the other fin-
gers. Hold your hand with your palm facing
upwards and spread your thumb and index finger
apart so that the yarn forms a “V” with the main
yarn over your index finger and the scrap yarn
over your thumb. Bring the needle up through the
scrap yarn loop on your thumb from front to back.

REYNOLDS/JCA INC. ANDEAN ALPACA REGAL
(alpaca/wool) in #21 CHARCOAL HEATHER
Place the needle over the main yarn on your index
finger and then back through the loop on your
thumb. Drop the loop off your thumb and placing
your thumb back in the “V” configuration, tighten
up the stitch on the needle. Repeat for the desired
number of stitches. The main yarn will form the
stitches on the needle and the scrap yarn will make
the horizontal ridge at the base of the cast-on row.
When picking up the stitches along the cast-on
edge, carefully cut and pull out the scrap yarn as
you place the exposed loops on the needle. Take
care to pick up the loops so that they are in the
proper direction before you begin knitting.
