A way of casting on to provide a firm, non-stretchy edge, perfect for a hat.
For the cable cast on, you put your right hand needle through the front and the back of your cast on stitch, before slipping the new loop onto your left hand needle. This is different to a standard knit cast on where you just put your right hand needle through the front of the stitch.
We use this cable cast on method for our Big Cotton Bucket Hat.
