Two-at-a-Time Cast-Ons

To cast-on for two-at-a-time projects, you’ll need to start two tubes at once on the same long circular needle, or on two circular needles. Use Judy’s Magic Cast-On (JMCO) for toe-up socks, and Liat’s Limitless Cast-On for top-down socks, sweater sleeves, and mittens.

Two-at-a-time toe-up socks are one of my favorite uses of Judy’s Magic Cast-On.

If you are comfortable with Magic Loop knitting and Judy’s Magic Cast-On, combine the two skills to start a pair of toe-up socks.

Not only are toe-up socks fast to knit, there’s no heel flap or picking up stitches. In the video below, I walk you through casting on for a two-at-a-time toe-up project.

Liat’s Limitless Cast-On for Two-at-a-Time Anything is a top-down cast-on I invented for two-at-a-time knitting in the round on Magic Loop.

It’s the easiest way to get started knitting two tubes that are open on the end, like top-down socks.
