Alternating/Rib Cable Cast-on

knitosophydesigns June 6, 2023

The video below demonstrates how to work the alternating cable cast-on, as instructed in my Birdseed pattern. Please note that Birdseed is cast on in the [p1, k1] sequence, while Sugarplum Crop is cast on in the [k1, p1] sequence. Both begin with a slipknot, which will be the first cast-on stitch (designated as a purl stitch for Birdseed and a knit stitch for Sugarplum Crop). For Sugarplum Crop, the second stitch will be worked as a purl stitch, so you will purl through the slipknot to create it.
