I
found this great little
hook tool at the dollar
store. I am sure
it was not made for the
purpose of casting off
doll clothes, but it
works!!
It has a small hook at
one end, with a latch
which closes to easily
capture the thread from
the next stitch, the
latch closes as it
passes through the loop,
and your stitch is
complete. It makes
a PERFECT finish.
I use this technique on
everything I make!!
The first few stitches
on the cast on row (at
the top of the photo)
don't look as nice as
the rest of the row.
But it sure does do the
trick - makes your cast
on row nice and tight.
The cast off row (at the
bottom) is very loose.
One important thing to
remember is to start at
the opposite end of your
"tail", the cast on or
cast off edge, because
when you get to the last
stitch, you pull the
"tail" through to anchor
your last stitch.
