How to Create a Provisional Cast On with the Crochet Hook

This video shows how to use a crochet hook to create a provisional cast on directly on your needles.

  1. With waste yarn, make a slip not and put it on your crochet hook.
  2. Hold the hook in front of the left needle, and wrap working yarn behind the needle and over the front of the hook. 
  3. Pull the yarn through the loop - one stitch has been cast on. Repeat this until you have the correct number of cast on stitches on your left needle.
