Hello Makers and Welcome to the EarthtonesGirl Channel, My name is Denise and this is my space to share, inspire and encourage in my earthy tone of voice.
The Sock Shortys will be a series of short video tutorials on various topics relating to sock knitting. For example, washing socks, using sock blockers, stitch markers and progress keepers, etc. I will also be covering how to customize your socks by way of gauge, different cast ons, texture patterns, heels etc. My goal for this series is to empower the not-so-new-anymore sock knitter to take things to the next level, increase their skills and continue on their sock knitting journey with confidence.

HOW TO KNIT A COMBINATION CAST ON
A Combination Cast On consists of alternating between a Long Tail Cast On and a German Twisted Cast On/Old Norwegian Cast On based on the number of stitches in the cuff of a top down sock. For example, a k2p2 rib, would have two stitches made using a Long Tail Cast On then switching to the German Twisted Cast On for two 2 stitches.
The foundation of a Long Tail Cast On looks like knit stitches and the German Twisted Cast On looks like purl stitches.
Alternating between the two cast on methods creates a crisp, clean edge that perfectly mirrors knit and purl stitchs.
