The provisional cast on method, also known as the open cast on method, is great for use in knitted toys, clothing with hems and seams, and any other project that is closed off at both ends. The provisional cast on method incorporates a length of waste yarn, which is later removed to reveal stitches from your main yarn underneath. These revealed stitches are then placed back on the needle and knit in the opposite direction, enabling you to close off or finish the project.
