The hat and cowl on the mannequin is called Moorings by Vanessa Ewing. It is the current “perk” for Brioche Tier patrons of the audio podcast. You can listen to the VeryPink Knits Podcast in your favorite podcast app, or here on my website.

In this video, I demonstrate the Backwards-Loop CO in slow motion. This is not a sturdy CO, like one you would use to start a new project, but it is handy for adding a few stitches.

Sturdier cast-ons, good for starting a project –
Long-Tail CO
Knitted CO

Proactive lifelines

Instructions for working Fisherman’s Rib:
Cast-on a multiple of 2 stitches, plus 3
Setup Row (RS): K across all stitches
Row 1 (WS): *P 1, K 1 into stitch below*, repeat between *s to last stitch, P 1
Row 2: K1, *K1, K 1 into stitch below*, repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K 2
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 to desired length, BO on WS, while working Row 1

Instructions for working this stitch in-the-round:
Cast-on an even number of stitches, and join to begin working in-the-round.
Setup Round: K around all stitches
Round 1: *K1, K 1 into stitch below*, repeat between *s to end
Round 2: *P 1 into stitch below, K1*, repeat between *s to end
Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 to desired length, BO while working Round 1
To purl into stitch below, approach the V below the current stitch from back to front.

You can see my other slow-motion videos here.
