Casting on more stitches in the middle of a project can feel strange if you've never done it before. This video shows you how to cast on extra stitches using the Chinese Waitress cast-on so you can have a stretchy, reversible edge in the middle of your project.
To cast on in the middle of a project using the Chinese Waitress Cast-On:
1. Hold your left needle so the right side of the work faces you.
2. Cross the right-hand needle behind the left-hand needle, to the right of the first stitch.
3. Tension the yarn in your right hand.
4. Bring the yarn up and over the left-hand needle, then around the back of the right-hand needle in a figure-8 motion.
5. Pull the stitch on the right-hand needle through the two loops on the left-hand needle.
6. Remove the right-hand needle from the stitch.
7. *IMPORTANT* With your fingers, un-twist the stitch towards you so that the right side of the loop is the one coming from the working yarn.
8. Re-insert the right needle into the stitch from front to back, crossing it behind the left-hand needle.
9. Bring the yarn up and over the left-hand needle, then around the back of the right-hand needle in a figure-8 motion (this is the same as step 4).
10. Pull the stitch you just made between the two loops on the left-hand needle and, in the same movement, through the stitch already on the right-hand needle.
11. Repeat steps 6-10 until you have cast on one less than the number of stitches required for your project.
12. Slip the stitch that is on the right-hand needle to the left-hand needle (the left needle should go in front-to-back). This is your last cast-on stitch.
