After completing the brim, you’ll bring the spare circular up to meet the main one and attach by
knitting together the first stitch from the main needle with the first stitch from the spare circular.
After you’ve knit together each pair of stitches, you’ll again have the number of initially cast on
stitches and can continue with the pattern.
This type of cast on is well suited for hems of all kinds. Try it out today, and if you get stuck, a
quick Google search for “Provisional Cast On” will turn up videos and other textual descriptions.
Have fun!
