Hi Kristen! I've been an avid crocheter for over a decade and would shy away from knitting because I kept hearing how hard it was. Well... I needed a new challenge and I'm happy to report "I LOVE IT" I find it most helpful to watch your videos and see your sweet smiling face (sometimes being silly) and hear your nice voice making the stitches cheerfully jump on my needles! Thanks for all you do...please keep them coming
Sharon I too am an avid crocheter and felt exactly the same intimidation about knitting, but I just love the look and durability of knitted hat and apparel so I decided to attemp to learn to knit. My husband is a hunter and wanted hats every year due to the crochet stretching out. A friend suggested knitting doesn't do that and I should learn. I am trying, but have found out that it is a whole new kind of Carple Tunnel lol. I am trying though!
Thank you very much! Although I have knit for many years I've never used this cast on and am just staring a pattern that calls for it. Your tutorial was the best one I found! Just goes to show you can teach an old dog (me) new tricks.
Thank you soooo much, I'm a crocheter, and I've done some basic knitting, but I was stuck on a project poncho I'm doing. Thank you thank you so much for your well explain details about casting on in the middle of the project.
Your video is probably the best knitting tutorial I've seen. I've been knitting for many years and always like new tips, especially this cable cast on! Thank you.
Thank you! Been having various troubles, mostly with unevenness, with my regular cast on method. This looks great! It looks like it gives the same edge as my cast off, which is an added bonus. Now I can make the scarf I had planned. It has a border of a single row of star stitches on a stockinette background and a main body of slip stitch cable. Should be perfect for my friends in the Navy as it is reminiscent of Stars and Brocade, which is what I am calling the pattern 😁
Your channel is so fantastic! In every single video, you show me the answer I'm looking for PLUS other things I've been wondering about. I also love your "Pro Tip" approach. Thank you!
I am so glad I found your site, your videos are very clear, and I always seem to have to learn something new with each knitting project. Thanks so much!
Thank you, you are a great help in my start at knitting. My sister bought me a scarf kit for my birthday... Me, the crocheter, a knitting scarf kit. Lol, she don't know me at all! 🤣
Thank you for this video! I was really struggling with learning this cast-on from a book but your demonstration was very easy to follow and now I can do it. :3 💚
This is how my mum taught me to cast on when she taught me how to knit :-) I prefer this method as I have the correct number of stitches from the word go and don't have to work out how much yarn I will need for my stitches
Thank you. Can you tell me if there is a particular type of knitting project that this would this method would be used for? I.e is it for cardigans, hats etc?
Do you suggest casting on one extra stitch, then knitting the first two stitches together, or slipping the first stitch, knit the second and slip the first over?
Studio Knit.... can you please advise me ? I've seen videos showing this cable cast on, and there is often a slight hole / looseness at the start and the end. I've then seen videos that show tips on how to avoid these issues. Do you get any looseness with your cable cast ons ?
Thanks!!! Now I can understand more patterns! Could you make a video one day explaining about yarn? The types like "worsted" yarn, etc;? I know it mighty be easy for many people, but sometimes I don't understand how they classify yarns... What the classifications mean. I think this would be a very quick video :) Thanks
+Studio Knit well, I think there are many videos online but none of them really explain things like you do. For example, about the yarns, sometimes we see a nice pattern, but the requested yarn is not available for us from the UK. And then I need to adapt the pattern. I never know how to do that. Because I don't understand about gauge that much! I don't know how to measure the gauge. You should make 2 videos... 1 about types of yarns, and another one about gauge, how to measure, what it means and how to adopt if it's possible. It also help you to keep recording videos with helpful and wonderful tips!
I don't know the knitting lingo but I am almost finished with a 2x2 ribbed scarf that I began with a cable cast on like shown in your video. I cannot for the life of me find a video or site explaining how to mimic the cable in the cast/bind off and I want both ends to look the same. Do you have any advice/videos/links for the cable bind off? Thanks!
Love your videos. I can't find out how to tell the wrong from right side with the cable cast-on. Is there is a link or an easy explanation I'd appreciate you sending it to me. I thought I'd seen the info some where, but can't seem to find it. Thanks.
This may be a stupid beginner question, but I have noticed that in most double needle cast ons you always twist the left needle to the right side of the loop to be put on it instead of just bringing the right needle up and slipping the loop over onto the left needle. Is there a reason the twist is important?
Help! My cast on go on really neat but once I've done a row or two it becomes so loose and I just don't understand why. 😔 The rest of my knitting is very neat.
Hello, +EmiBug 101 - I currently use iMovie, but plan to switch to FinalCutPro, since all my RUclips friends say it's the best. Happy YouTubing and Knitting!
As a beginner like really beginner I can knit but not sure how to cast on and this is extremely confusing to me I'm very sorry I'm sure it's helpful to others but not to me xx

That isd how I do all my casting on in knitting. Love the look. I have been doing that for years.
I'm working on this cast on. Your explanation was so well-done. I need to practice awhile as I knit a continental style. Thank you for great tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!

So sweet, Phyllis. Thanks for letting me know.

Helpful- thank you! I have a scarf pattern with cable cast-on CO2 and then bind off BO6 sets. Thanks!!
Thank you, you are a great help in my start at knitting.
My sister bought me a scarf kit for my birthday...
Me, the crocheter, a knitting scarf kit.
Lol, she don't know me at all! 🤣
This is brilliant, I'll never understand the thumb cast on and this is easy too!!
Thanks so much for a quick & easy explanation of the cable cast on. I came to you first. :)
I was terrified when I saw cable cast-on but after watching your video, I'm totally fine! Thank you!
very easy to understand - great job!

+D Stn Yay!! Have fun! 🦋💗🦋
Awesome I love yor tips and trick!
Thanks so much, Noor!

Thank you for this video.
Could you show us how to do a cable cast on with a different color? I am trying to make the coffee cup sweaters and can't figure out the thumbs.
Studio Knit.... can you please advise me ?
I've seen videos showing this cable cast on, and there is often a slight hole / looseness at the start and the end.
I've then seen videos that show tips on how to avoid these issues.
Do you get any looseness with your cable cast ons ?
Thanks!!! Now I can understand more patterns!
Could you make a video one day explaining about yarn? The types like "worsted" yarn, etc;?
I know it mighty be easy for many people, but sometimes I don't understand how they classify yarns... What the classifications mean.
I think this would be a very quick video :)
Thanks
Hello, Etiene!! Absolutely!!! You have the best knitting video suggestions!! I'll put it on my list!! Hope you are well!
+Studio Knit well, I think there are many videos online but none of them really explain things like you do. For example, about the yarns, sometimes we see a nice pattern, but the requested yarn is not available for us from the UK. And then I need to adapt the pattern. I never know how to do that. Because I don't understand about gauge that much! I don't know how to measure the gauge. You should make 2 videos... 1 about types of yarns, and another one about gauge, how to measure, what it means and how to adopt if it's possible.
It also help you to keep recording videos with helpful and wonderful tips!
Greta video, very clear! Can't find the like button, though.
Thanks I need to learn how to do again.
Great, clear video! Are you supposed to use a certain cast off method after using the cable cast on method?
Thanks for the video, but how do I apply this to your Yoga socks project. I am trying. Can you show in the Yoga socks slowly?
hello thanks for the vid really helped me! now that i have my 40 cable cast on stitches.... how do i start the first knit stitch?
If you use the cable cast on..... what is the cable cast off so the 2 ends match ?
How do you then do a simple knit from then? I can't seem to knit away without unravelling it
I don't know the knitting lingo but I am almost finished with a 2x2 ribbed scarf that I began with a cable cast on like shown in your video. I cannot for the life of me find a video or site explaining how to mimic the cable in the cast/bind off and I want both ends to look the same.

Great question, +spikemom2003 - I think it holds it's shape better that way. But, really, whatever works best for you, go for it!
+Studio Knit Thanks so much and I love your tutorials. So helpful and informative.
Very cool :)
Hi!! Thanks so much!!
But the cable cast on adds stitches, how can do on Yoga Socks?
could you show us how to knit words on hats to make sure it reads the right way like Seahawks on a hat.
Cute idea, +Tammy A - I'll put it on my list!
Yes I would love that as well, but Panthers instead lol!
I already know how to knit that but it was still interesting
Help! My cast on go on really neat but once I've done a row or two it becomes so loose and I just don't understand why. 😔
The rest of my knitting is very neat.
Hello, Kristen! Is the cable cast on good for making your bunny project too?
Any cast on will work. This long-tail cast on may be even easier. ruclips.net/video/k5YfbpeRAJ8/видео.html
excellent
Thanks!!!
+Studio Knit
my pleasure sweetie you all are amazing I have learned many things ...thanks to you
Awww... So sweet! Great to know and happy knitting!!
I know this as the cast on it I’m to confused to learn lol. I’ll prolly try it now tho
Thank you!!
I don’t under stand “count clock wise” it looks like you are wrapping the yarn on clock wise to me?
What do you use to edit?❤️

Nice instructions but PLEASE lose the music
You did not explain how to make the second stitch
Sorry I'm sound so dumb but this is very confusing
As a beginner like really beginner I can knit but not sure how to cast on and this is extremely confusing to me I'm very sorry I'm sure it's helpful to others but not to me xx
This is not the right cast on method if you are unfamiliar with how to cast on.
Samantha D'Agostino yes I know how to actually knit and I'm quite good at knitting it's just I can't cast on

The music in the background was too loud and distracting, taking away from the wonderful instruction.
