Is first row after cast on right side or wrong side?

When you turn needle to put it in your left hand in preparation to work the first row, the purl side of the cast on is facing you. It's usually considered the “wrong side” of the cast on. If you knit that first row, you are knitting a wrong side row.

Is the first row after casting on the right side?

The first row of a knitting pattern is considered the right side, and the second row is considered the wrong side. Since one is an odd number, all of the odd rows are right side facing. The even rows are on the wrong side.

What is the right side after cast on?

Right-side = tail on the right

The tail at the bottom of your work (the yarn leftover from the cast-on row) should fall to the right of your work. When knitting in stocking stitch, this is what the right-side of your work will look like.

Is the cast on row considered the first row?

The cast on doesn't count as a row. But it's easier to count all the rows in the worked fabric, below the needle, and just not count the loops on the needle.

How do you know which is the right side of knitting?

The right side of your knitting is the face of the fabric. This is the side that will be on the outside of a garment. The wrong side is the back side of the fabric, and will be on the inside of a garment. When the right side of the fabric is facing you, you're working on a right side row.

Knitting Tip: RIGHT SIDE (RS) vs WRONG SIDE (WS) - Which Side is Which? | How to Recognise Them

Should you knit a row after casting on?

When you cast on stitches with the cable cast on method, the stitches are on the left needle at the completion of the cast on. The right side of the cast on is facing you, and you don't have to turn the needle around to start the first row. Therefore, knit the first row to avoid the bumps.

What does ending on a right side row mean?

Ending with a right side row means that you complete a right side row before moving on to the next instruction in your pattern. So, in the next step, the wrong side is facing you (bumpy side).

What does ending with a wrong side row mean?

When your pattern tells you to end on a wrong side row it means that the last row you knit is the one on the wrong side (hidden side) of your project. So if you are knitting in stocking stitch (stockinette) the last row you work is a purl row so that you are ready to knit the next row.

What does RS and WS mean in knitting?

This means that on Row 1, which is the right side of the piece (RS), you will knit all 12 stitches on the needle. Then for Row 2, the wrong side (WS) of the piece, you will purl every stitch. The pattern may now say: Rep Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 4” from the beginning, ending with a WS row.

How do you continue knitting after casting off?

Can you continue knitting after casting off? Not unless you take out the bind off row. You will need to take out the row where you finished off the stitches and place the live stitches back on your needles. If you've already cut the yarn tail, you will need to join a new strand from the working yarn.

What is the point of provisional cast on?

A provisional cast-on is a way to cast on stitches using waste yarn as a temporary cast on so that it can be easily unraveled after the knitting is complete, leaving you with live stitches which you can then place on your needle.

Why would you use a provisional cast on?

The purpose of the provisional cast on is to allow the stitches you cast on to be live once again (after you remove the crochet chain) and you can then knit in the opposite direction. It is often only used when a pattern indicates for it.

Does it matter which way you wrap the yarn when knitting?

The most likely culprit is that you are wrapping your yarn the wrong way around your needle on either the knit side, the purl side, or both. You should always wrap the yarn counterclockwise around your needle.

What does make 1 right mean in knitting?

To “make 1 right” (m1R), use the left needle to pick up the strand between the last stitch you knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from back to front. Leave the strand on the left needle. Next, insert the tip of the right needle knitwise into the front leg of the strand and knit as usual.
