HeidiBearsCreativeBlog Picot Cast on with a twist

This video shows you how to do a Picot cast on, with a twist.
I like the look of the picots better, they are a bit more rounded.

This is the process:
Cast on 5 stitches.
Knit 2 stitches.
Bind off one stitch on your right hand needle, by slipping the far right stitch over the second stitch that was knitted.
You have one stitch left on your right hand needle.
Knit one stitch.
Bind off one stitch just as before.
You have 2 stitches left on the left hand needle, and one stitch on the right hand needle.
BEFORE SLIPPING THE STITCH ON YOUR RIGHT HAND NEEDLE ONTO THE LEFT HAND NEEDLE. rotate your right hand needle through 360 degrees, moving away from you .
Slip the right hand needle stitch (remaining), onto the left needle.
You now have three stitches on the left hand needle.
Cast on four stitches.
(You started with 5 stitches, bound off two stitches, and were left with three stitches. The stitch you slipped from the right hand needle to the left COUNTS AS THE FIRST STITCH, of the five you need in total, ie you cast on 4 extra stitches to make up FIVE stitches to work with, just as in the beginning).
Repeat from the beginning...knit 2, bind off 1, knit 1, bind off 1, twist right hand needle through 360 degrees, slip remaining stitch to left needle, cast on 4. There you go :)
