[Knitting] Liat’s Limitless Cast-On… for Two-at-a-Time ANYTHING

ok i found this while researching again on howto knit socks. So I thojught I would Share  You need to know this. You need to be able to do the magic loop methodto do this cast on

Step 1: Using a long-tail cast-on and one of the balls of yarn (let’s call it Ball A – shown here in red) and leaving enough tail for all the stitches your pattern calls for, onto one end of the circular needle, cast on HALF the stitches required

Step 2: Push the stitches from Ball A away from the tip of the needle. Using yarn from Ball B (shown here in yellow), onto the same needle tip, cast on ALL the stitches called for in the pattern

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-2.jpg

Step 3: Push both sets of stitches onto the cable part of the circular needle

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-3.jpg

Step 4: At the midpoint of the stitches from Ball B (the larger set of stitches), bend the cable and pull a large loop of cable out, as shown in the photo below. Pull the loop until the stitches reach the needle tips.


Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-4.jpg


Step 5: Arrange the stitches as in the photo below, with the stitches from Ball A pushed onto the needle-tip. Notice how the yarn is coming off the wrong end of the stitches? That’s on purpose

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-5.jpg

Step 6: Holding the needle-tips together at the base and in your right hand as shown in the photo below, cast on the remaining stitches from Ball A onto the empty needle tip. Make sure the needle-tips are together at the base so that you don’t get a stretched-out piece of yarn between the needles

Step 7: Turn both needle-tips towards the right (“ready position”) and make sure all the bumps from the cast-on row are facing in, like the teeth of an alligator. This prevents you from creating any twists in the round

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-7.jpg

Step 8: With the working yarn (Ball A) draped over the back needle-tip, pull the back needle-tip out and to the right, and then point it back towards the left needle-tip, just as you would for Magic Loop

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-8-Part-1.jpg

Begin working across the stitches from Ball A

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-8-Part-2.jpg

When you finish working the stitches from Ball A, drop that yarn and pick up the yarn from Ball B. Knit across the next set of stitches using the yarn from Ball B.

Step 9: Return to ready position. Repeat Step 8, only this time you’ll first knit the stitches from Ball B, and finish with the stitches from Ball A.

Liats-Limitless-Cast-On-Photo-9.jpg

You’re on your way! Repeat steps 8-9, shaping your pieces according to your pattern. Make sure to keep your balls of yarn in separate bags or containers on either side of you, so they don’t get tangled.
Another trick to keeping your yarn from tangling is to hold the working yarn from one ball of yarn to the front of your work, while the other working yarn stays to the back.

there is also a video that shows this method just search

I always forget how to do this cast on.  Thanks for posting this.  I use it for sleeves on sweaters mostly.  If I do 2 at a time, they will always be the same.
