Cast on Around a Band or a Ring

Adapted by LindaButler ©2015 from Single Crochet Around a Ring Instructions.

I use the following crochet cast on method and substitute the left hand needle for whatever I am casting onto for example a pony tail band or a ring. The example below shows “crochet casting onto a pony tail band”, I transfer every 3 or 4 stitches to dpn’s as I work around the band.
