Backwards Loop Cast-on tutorial

  Backwards Loop CO is probably the easiest one from all Cast ons.

It's strechy, elastic and nice looking too.

This technique is perfect for adding stitches into you  already worked-in-progress knitting project.

Let's start the tutorial.

1. make a loop

2. tighten off the loop, and make second one loop

 3. continue addin loops for your desired amount

Photos above shows backwards loop CO when you start knitting.

The photos below explain how to add stitches to your already started knitting project

(in my example I have 6 stitches on the needles and I need to add 4 more stitches):

1. make a loop using your working yarn

2. tighten it off 

3. make second loop the same way you've done first one

4. continue adding loops for your desired amount (in my example I've added 4 stitches)
