Dear Ladies:

I need some knitting help, please.

Is tubular and elastc cast on the same thing? I am making a baby sweater that calls for this pattern beginning:

Elastic cast on (start with half the number of stiches + 1) with larger needles and auxillary thread cast on 30 sts then cont with (blue color) as foll: Row 1: 1 selvedge st. * k1, yo* 1 selvedge st.

Can you help me figure out what this is? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

What does the next row say?

I just did a search and found pages about the tubular cast on. The third one listed by Mary Ellen Meisters looks like what you have. I'm going to try it.

Hey Sewingwoman! Did you figure it out??

I tried it and kind of like the elasticity of the stitch. Might use it on a pair of socks.
