Thank you, you're the only person who explained it so it would get into my head.

This is much easier to do with a crochet hook for those who want this very nice cast on. Not nearly as complicated.

The result looks a lot like the crocheted cast on. It's interesting, got a name one can't forget. Okay, I did a swatch comparing to the crocheted cast on. the Chinese Waitress cast on is thicker, and attractive on both front and back. If one was doing the brim of a beanie where you were making a rolled brim, it would stretch and be very attractive. If you were doing socks, it is too raised unless you are going for a sock with a rolled edge. Stretch is great . I tried 2x2 rib on size 8's with knitting worsted. The edge is stretchier than any bind off I've tried . Thank you for the demo, was always curious what this was.

Chinese waitress cast on is much easier with a crochet hook, no reorientation needed.

Yes, and much less complex than this version.

And how would you bind off so that it looks the same

I haven't tried this bind off yet myself, but I hear this one is a good match for the Chinese Waitress Cast On: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaPdqaioib1qj5I.

What is the advantage to this complicated cast on?
@handsoccupied5 жыл бұрын
It's stretchy, and it provides a symmetrical edge on both the right and wrong sides. It's also sturdy in addition to stretchy (which isn't always the case with certain cast ons). -Heidi

It might need a better name...

I agree! Have you read about where it got its name?
