Double Chain (aka Chinese Waitress) Cast On Without Fiddling and Without Slip Knot

[@InquirywithHelena]

I really appreciate how you get straight to it with no preamble about yourself or anything else. Then you teach with clear succinct directions and demonstrate with large needles and thick yarn so that it is easy to see every detail of the process. Masterly!

Thank you for providing the little details that make the process crystal clear. I wonder, can this be done in mirror fashion for lefties?

[@10rowsaday]

That's a good question, Vicki. The way the yarn is wrapped around the tools is crucial. You can probably make the wraps with the yarn in your left hand, but make sure the direction of teach wrap is the same - from right to left. Good luck!

[@nildamuniz1388]

Fantastic, and I think I can knit this stitch. Thanks so much.

I will be trying this to create a foundation chain for Tunisian crochet - I'll just use a crochet hook on each side, so I'll have my loops for my first row on my working hook. I've been struggling using the standard chain method, working in the back loop (spine) of the chain, resulting in a row that ends up too tight and sometimes uneven due to the size of each chain stitch. Cross your fingers that this will work (my fingers will be too busy to cross for myself) - LOL. 😊

[@10rowsaday]

It's a great idea to use this method as a foundation for Tunisian crochet! You are so creative my friend!

[@lindsypenney3064]

I’ve been using this cast on for years and it’s my favorite cast on for Tunisian crochet
