Knitting Garter Stitch - casting off on the 'right side'

Knitting Garter Stitch - casting off on the 'right side'
Is there a 'right' and 'wrong' side of garter stitch, as it looks the same on both sides? There actually is! I'll share with you today how you can find the right side to cast of, when you're knitting every row and it all looks the same.

I'm a very new knitter and I'm always surprised by how neat my cast-off row actually is😂 Why does it look so much better than my cast-on row (which always tends to be kind of loose and untidy)? I'm just doing a regular knit cast-on, have tried a cable but it was always too tight so I gave up. Do you have any advice? Thank you for your videos!

Hi Nina, if you watch some of the various cable cast-on videos I have, you’ll notice that once I’ve put each new stitch on the left needle, I put the right needle behind the stitch before tightening it. That prevents a tight cast-on.
I get a loose knitted cast-on too, it’s the nature of how the stitches hold together and can differ between yarn thicknesses and fibres. That’s why I prefer the cable style.
Happy knitting 🧶
