is there a way to pickup and knit from an e-wrap/e-loop cast-on, so you can continue the rib made from it, but go the other direction seamlessly? i’m experimenting with a grafted short row crown in making a hat, and while the cast-on is stretchy enough, the rib may not be long enough for what i want, but i’m not sure how to extend it, short of ripping out the cast on round.
suggestions and ideas are helpful… goodnatured 'what were you thinking?'s are also ok.
Hi X, that’s a good question. You almost have this situation:
The blue sts are close to a thumb loop or e-loop cast on. With the cast on you have a twist or crossover in the sts. You could try picking up the loops between sts and knitting down or you could cut out a row or 2 and pick up sts as in the link. I’m not sure it the rib will still be in register. Have to give it a try.
I wonder too if picking up the loops between sts and plain knitting them, then going to your rib stitch would work. I do a row of all knit stitch in the middle of ribbing when I want to put in a different color stripe without getting dots in the purl sts. You can’t see the all knit row.
