Criss-Cross Cast On Stitches
There are a lot of ways how to cast on stitches in knitting. Today I want to share with you one of the method, which is called criss-cross.

Such a criss-cross cast on stitches will give the finished work a denser structure, making the edge neat and almost perfectly even. In addition, your product will look more voluminous due to such an original decor. Another plus of the criss-cross cast on ...
