Invisible circular cast-on: how to knit from the centre out

The invisible circular cast-on is a great way to begin projects worked from the centre out, like shawls, blankets and hats knitted top-down. Beginning with only a few stitches, it leaves no hole as other cast-ons. Have you ever tried to cast on a small number of stitches to work from the centre out? Most of the time, people will cast on with a crochet hook, work some chain stitches and join it with a slip stitch. Then they put the sling from the crochet hook to the knitting needle and pick up the stitches. This can get really fiddly. There's an easier way: the invisible circular cast-on. This cast-on is very similar to the crochet magic ring, though you don't need to know how to crochet for this one. The magic in this cast-on is that you knit around the yarn loop. When you reach the desired number of stitches you pull at the tail. Taadaa, the loop will close nicely and the cast-on is invisible. Great, isn't it?
