Decide when fi use long-tail, knitted-on, cable, provisional, or tubular cast-ons fi hats, scarves, cowls, an other accessories.

Practice wet an steam blockin, pinnin an shapin, an gentle pressin so accessories hold shape, drape well, an show stitch patterns clearly.

Practice standard, stretchy, an elastic bind-offs, plus three-needle bind-off fi secure joins pon shoulders, cowls, an folded or doubled edges.
