Alternating Cable Cast On for 2 x 2 Ribbing

This video will show you how to cast on using the Alternating cable cast on method. This cast on can be used for a 1 x 1 or 2 x 2 ribbing.  The 2 x 2 ribbing requires an addition set up row to get the stitches in the correct order to work the ribbing. I show you how to Swap 2 / Sw2 stitches for the set up row.  This technique also has 2 selvaged stitches, one at the beginning of the row that is slipped purlwise with yarn in back and the 2nd selvaged stitch is the last stitch and it is purled on every row, except for the set up row the final 2 stitches a P2tog.
