Now this is probably a really stupid question but is it possible for me to undo from the cast on edge up to my mistake and then knit "backwards" and cast off? Hi there,

This library of tutorials is so helpful to me, thankyou.My Question is: **Which is the Stretchiest Cast-On you know of?**I knit a lot of bottom-up hats, for my self and others, all of which have large heads! I found the Knit-On CO not stretchy enough for hat brims (it just became loose rather than stretchy if i used larger needles to CO with), so i was recommended to try German Twisted CO. I've just knit 2 hats with German Twisted CO, and whilst the edges are stretchier than Knit-On CO, they are still not nearly as stretchy as the knitted ribbing which follows them. I've worked German Twisted with larger needles, but this just seems to create larger/looser loops along the CO edge, rather than making the edge any stretchier.I'm just feeling really frustrated that all my laborous, (almost) faultless knitting is being spoiled by a too-tight & unstretchy CO edge.Could you please suggest a suitable CO technique to create a super stretchy edge for hat brims please? Most of my hats follow with a ribbed brim, but occasionally i use other stitch patterns too - (i often dont understand how to CO for different stitch patterns either).Thankyou so so much for your help.
