  Step 1

  Start with a long tail. Double the length of yarn and make a slip knot as you would for a normal cast on.

  Step 2

  Grip the short spare piece out of the way in your right hand.

• 

  Step 3

  Using the single yarn (from the ball) put the "yarn over".

• 

  Step 4

  Wrap the double strand tail counter clockwise around the left thumb and push the needle up through as if you were making a knit stitch....

• 

  Step 5

  Pass the single "yarn over ".

• 

  Step 6

  Pass the double strands over as if making a knit stitch.

• 

  Step 7

  Pull firm and you have the first "knot" of the picot edging.

• 

  Step 8

  Continue with yarn over in between each stitch....

• 

  Step 9

  Keep practicing until you have a row of "knots".

Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial. I have been looking for a nice easy cast on that gives you a pretty edge but a lot of them are continental cast on's & I just struggle so much with that way.
