How to knit a garter tab cast-on
This video will show you how to work the garter tab cast-on. A garter tab is often used for top-down shawls, many of which begin with a few stitches at the centre back and then grow in ever-lengthening rows. The garter tab cast-on is used to seamlessly join the border stitches at the centre back, and, at the same time, cast-on the initial centre stitches which will then be increased to shape the shawl.
