Alternative Garter Tab for Shawls

This tutorial shows an alternative way to make a garter tab that can be used at the beginning of a shawl. It is used at the beginning of my Arcturus Shawl pattern. This method can be used in place of most garter tabs in shawls.

You're SO smart! I'm just now starting a shawl for my daughter, I'll be using the JMCO to launch my project as you suggest. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

[@SharaMade]

Thank you 😊 I’m glad you like it 😊 I find this method useful 😊

@@SharaMade Useful for sure and way simpler to execute IMHO. I'm familiar with JMCO from knitting toe-up socks anyway. 👍💐

Smoother than the usual Garter tab cast on though it uses different CO method (judy's cast on). It was easier to follow than other videos. Thanks.

Thank you for your kind comment. I always find it good to have alternative methods to do something in knitting 😊

Is this a rib cast on alternating knit purl?
