Tubular Cast On (ribber)
When casting on in ribbing, a popular method is a "tubular" cast on. This is similar to a Kitchener Cast On in Hand Knitting.
A tubular cast on employs a number of very specific steps, including slipping stitches alternately on the ribber and main bed. The edge is "rounded" and similar to a tube.
One method of creating this beautiful cast on is with a "broken toe" method. Use this method to prevent the cast on edge from flairing and ruffling.
