They are the same thing. Pick-up or cast on stitch using crochet hook to the edge of armhole to the needle.

Thanks again.

But I’m still confused. Does that mean we don’t follow the directions for the armhole and collar rib which say to cast on stitches using a crochet hook?

It is picking up stitches at those areas and knit

Ok, and thanks for the reply. One other question:

What do I do with the armhole rib and collar rib pieces?

I would think I should sew them to the halter at some point, or how about just picking up stitches and knitting the rib around the armhole and collar>

Before the elastic installation at the back for the haltered top, the chest measurement is about 27 1/2″ to 28 1/2″. Use elastic thread to shrink the back portion so that the finished top suit the wearer’s size.

This seems to be too large. At 22 st/4 inches 80 sts =5.5 = 14.5″.
What are the final dimensions?

Hi Christine,
Use crochet hook to cast on the required stitches on the knitting needle. It is like doing chain, but yarn over on the knitting needle so that there are loops on the needle for you to knit. You can also substitute this method with other, as long as it makes a dummy round of base stitches.
The base round is a dummy, after you finish cast on the required stitches, just fasten a knot and cut.
Don’t worry, you are going to do well on this.

Ok so I was totally psyched to cast on lol I didn’t even get to the cast on and I was lost. Ok it says:
With 3/0 crochet hook, cast on 80 sts with dummy yarn on 4mm knitting needle. Bind of.

to cast on does it have to be with a crochet hook? (never done it that way so lost there) then it says to bind off? again I’m lost do I bind off or just switch yarn and continue. I’m sorry But I just wanted to be sure never tried something this big before I’m scared, excited did I mention scared lol!
