TO CAST ON WITH TWO PINS.

Reading edition

Illustration from The Knitting Book

This is the Spanish method, and is particularly adapted for working fine wools, by its forming a looser stitch. Tie a loop at the end of the thread, and put it on the pin, holding it in the left hand; take the other pin with the right hand, and put it in the loop; pass the thread between the pins, and bring it forward then with the right hand pin; bring the thread through the loop on the left pin; there will now be a loop on each pin as C and D; then pass the loop D on to the left pin; repeat by putting the right hand pin through the loop D, and passing the thread between the pins as before.
