The Channel Island CO is a pretty way to start a knitting project and creates a flexible, decorative edge. This cast on method is a type of long tail cast on where hands are in the slingshot position. It can be used to start many projects and looks especially nice when followed by 1x1 or k1, p1 ribbing.
