Knitting a teddy: cast on 8 stitches at the beginning of each side

#1

Hi again!

So I’m knitting along, finally understanding how to ‘knit across both legs’ (thanks to suzeeq!) and now they want me to cast on 8 stitches at the beginning of each side.
How might I do this?
I suppose maybe I’m just confused by the wording.

Do I just cast on 8 stitches at the beginning of my knitting, knit along until I get to the end then cast on 8 more stitches and continue knitting happily?

Here is a link to the pattern: http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/buddybears.html
If I’m not supposed to post the link I’ll take it off, still very new here :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help! :happydance:

you would cast on 8 knit to the end of the row then turn your work as normal for the end of a row and cast on another 8 before knitting to the end again.

Yep, what tarantella said. And links to patterns are very okay; that helps us look at what you’re doing.
