Crochet cast-on to match knitted cast-off (bind-off)

this crochet cast on for knitting, matches both a slipped stitch edge and a traditional cast off (knit 2 -slip first stitch over, *one stitch on needle, knit 1, slip 1st stitch over*, repeat from * to * until only one stitch is left - pull tail thru loop and trim)

Thank you so much - I couldn't find a video tutorial on this anywhere, even on knittinghelp, and the pictures just weren't helping me! Nicely done video - I get it now!

Thank you! <3

Thank you so much! i had a crochet cast on for a pattern i'm doing and was at a loss of what to do, and without saying or writing anything i now get it :D

Wow, I had never heard of this in all my almost seventy years, until I saw this mentioned in a recent pattern and had no clue. Thank you, thank you!!!

I just got a new crochet book with directions for a "all knit-look sweater" Special Stitches call for a slingshot cast on. It doesn't call for any knitting needles so I am now hopelessly lost..it says cast on 1 stitch, yo with yarn going frm back over hook and back to back, draw thru both loops on hook...1st stitch completed. I am an advanced crocheter but I am stumped on this one...

can you show how to knit a second yarn onto the crochet chain from where this video leaves off? or maybe msg me how?

I'm a crochet-er who has learned to knit and I LOVE this method of casting on - it beats the "long tail" method by a long shot

Oh thank you! I've never been able to understand what a crochet cast on was! Thank you so much. ^-^
