How to Knit into Back Loops from Cast on Edge

This video shows you how to pick up the back loops from the cast-on edge and knit it together with the next stitch to create a hem or a billowy bulge.

It's a great technique, that is nice and neat and looks great. It also saves sewing the rows together at the end. But more importantly for the bottom of a tea cosy, it means that the hem is stretchy, and you need the bottom of your tea cosy to be stretchy so it can stretch over the teapot.
