Hiya! This is another tutorial I first published in Japanese and translate into English.
Today, I’m going to show you Emily Ocker’s circular cast-on. This method is suitable for circular projects starting with a few stitches, such as circular shawls or top-down hats.
All you need is your working yarn and a crochet hook, ideally with no ergonomic grip (you will see why).

Hiya 🙂
I’ve realized that I hadn’t uploaded a tutorial of this cast-on method though I use it often in my patterns. This post is here to fill the gap.

The time has come for me to talk about this design.
Fukinsei – My Zen garden – shawl is my first-ever (and last !?) commissioned design. After Treasure knitting, a book on Nepal and Mongolia including 5 designs from Eri Shimizu, Nomad noos decided to make a more Japanese book, with the theme wabisabi and I was asked if I wanted to take part into it, not only as a technical editor but also as a designer.

Hi guys!
I have published a pattern of the sweater knitted with a yarn I wrote an article about.
As I wrote in that post, the design of the sweater started because of the pink chinos I bought impulsively.
I had been looking for slub cotton yarn but my sesarch on the Internet was not very fructous… But I came accross a silk-linen-wool blend yarn in a La Droguerie’s store in my city: the yarn was called Provençale.

Yes, I’m finally back to this series about the tubular cast-on (I have to admit that I forgot about this series lol)!
So the first thing among the lot of things to say is about a little note I inserted at the beginning of the first tutorial in the last post.

I impulsively bought pink summer chinos last year despite my age (but you know, old people look better with bright colors). They looked lovely (light old rose pink!) and the size was perfect when I tried it on and the fabric was nice too. But when you buy something impulsively, you don’t always have the things that go with it in your wardrobe. I wasn’t very sure that the tops I wore with it were well coordinated and thought: “I can make a sweater that is a perfect match!
