I have to re-learn this technique every time it comes up. The provisional cast-on makes it SO much easier than remembering where I am in the up-and-down twists. Extra step? Worth it. I love your videos and keep coming back to learn more. Thank you so much. xo
Brilliant idea. I have been knitting for getting on for 70 years but never heard of this style of casting on before. Just shows, one is never too old to learn something new.
This excellent video has become my go to for this rib stitch, which has become my favorite stretchy rib. I have used it repeatedly and shared it with many. Thank you so much for making it so clear and straight-forward!
I just came across this stitch and have to say yours is by far the best video explanation. Thank you!!! For those asking about knitting in the round, after knitting the five rows for tubular cast on I then cast on two additional stitches (because you’re short your stitch count by one for this CO) and joined in the round. I used the tail from the CO to seam up the first few rows and then followed my pattern. Worked perfectly!
Thank you so much. You save me at least once on every project. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out the tubular cast on that doesn't use a provisional cast on. Your method was easy to understand and do!
Thank You! I have been teaching myself a new technique each project and I find your tutorials the most helpful! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this craft and helping others!
Thank you so much, !!! This was so much easier than anything else I have seen. I love your videos, I have learned so much from you ! Thanks much for taking the time to help others.
@Doolies Yes - but the only way I've done this CO in the round is by doing the first couple of CO rows in ROWS (knitting back and forth), and then joining it in the round on the 3rd or 4th CO row. It works well enough.
Thank you so much!!! Love how you explain and teach... very clear. I'm knitting a tank top in Lionbrand Coboo yarn and it calls for this cast on. It really is pretty!
Thank you for sharing. You always make it look so easy. Love your videos. I've learned a great deal from you and I always come to you first. Saves a lot of searching for me.
Sorry - I haven't test knit this in-the-round myself. It sounds like you can continue as you're going, then once the CO rows are complete, flip your work right side out, do a quick wrap and turn (to change direction), and continue with the prettier side facing out.
@AkashaOConnell Doing this cast-on for 2x2 ribbing is very different from 1x1 rib. You work the provisional CO the same, then work a few rows of stockinette stitch (like 4), then fold the knitting in half. On the next row, you want to K the stitches on the needle, and remove the provisional CO and P those stitches, arranging everything so that it comes out to 2x2 rib.
Thank you for your videos. I always look to see if you have one on something I need help with, but could you also do a slow motion tubular cast off 1 by 1? Love your slow motion videos. Thanks again.
Wow!! You are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this. I've done tubular cast on before, but you made this so much easier than what I did and all the other videos I've watched. Thanks again :-)
this was amazing...i am watching a few videos on this...there are a lot of different variations I'm seeing. I like yours the best . You are so amazing. thank you so much. I'm glad that you have support to make these videos. Knitting and this industry is so important...we have to keep this alive and Thank GOD it is alive because the knitting community grows and grows daily with more people interested in learning about it and developing a fascination for knitting, fiber arts and all things related to textiles etc. This is awesome.
So, I did that. My pattern calls for 47 sts cast on with the tubular method. I followed the rule of total sts +1/2. So 47+1/2=24. Doing what you suggested, I ended up with only 36 sts. I'm not sure I understand this. I finally messed around with the numbers to get the correct sts.
Wondering two things...1) Can this be used in the round, for instance top of a sock? 2) Is this a stretchy as the German long tail cast on? Thank you so much for all your videos. I've learned so much from watching!
@maplestoryfreak10 We shoot videos year 'round, actually less in the summer months. (We shoot enough in advance so that I'm able to release a new video every week.) Unfortunately, it's really warm most of the time here in Austin, Texas. So it might seem as if we only shoot in the summer. :)
@verypinkknits Interesting. I think I get it...is it possible for you to do a video showing how to do it? Thank you for your help! I love your videos! :)
I did a sort of weird mix of provisional and tubular cast on somehow and when I removed the waste yarn I now have a round of live stitches at the bottom of the cuff...what do I do with them?
I think on the 2nd row you explained you're knitting into the yarn overs, and slipping off the purls. On the next row, I'm unclear... are you knitting on top of knitting and slipping the purls? I wish we could see more up close, or if you explained what the work should look like. Thanks!
Hi! I come to you first for knit tutorials for everything I do. I’m struggling to find a standardized tutorial for the tubular cast on in the round. I’m not quite sure whether it’s different or equivalent to the Italian cast on. Additionally I would like to know how to adapt the tubular cast on in the round for a 2x1 rib as well. If you see this, I appreciate you!
The technique is the same...after you complete the CO rows, you join the in the round. I've had this question so many times...watch this space, I'll release a video demonstrating tubular CO in the round.
@@verypinkknits And that is when you suggest joining for it to be in the round? I would then use the tail or something to close that opening correct? I dont want to try and reinvent the wheel (which I am known to do :D)
I am confused if you have to k1 at the end of the YO over row, how do you end up knitting into your yo’s in the following row? Wouldn’t you be slipping them because the third stitch would be a YO? Does it matter?
Thank you so much for this tutorial/help. I have seen it done before but. The previosly way done involved wasting yarn and cutting away the wastedc yarn risking cutting the project too. I like this method much better. It well explained and demonstrated and I also truly appreciate how none of the important steps were only talked about but not shown. The other video skip step in ghe demo and only talked about what to do. It only confused me; defeating the purpose of watching a video to learn. Thanks again.
if I have a pattern that doesn't specify which cast on to use, just says to use a smaller needle for the ribbing (for a hat)... do I still use a smaller needle or go ahead & use the body needle?
Hello, I wrote a pattern that requires this cast-on method. I believe your explanation is the best yet. Can I share your link (this link) in my pattern? So they can come and watch. you explain it? Thank you in advance.
I tried this method and joined in the round on the third cast on row. Unfortunately the better looking side is the wrong side, on the inside of my work. the right side shows the slipped stitches so the v pulls across three or four rows. Did I join wrong?
Been a while since this comment, but anywhoo: I found casting on in the round worked ok, just have to remember changing that second row to slipping with yarn in back and purling the yarn overs. Also, with doing it in the round you can do that last yarn over to get all the stitches in place. I did it on circulars with magic loop, changing to dpns (which I prefer) when I was a few rows in. I'm not brave enough to try this with dpns from the start. XD
@tookienurse Yes - there is a lot to this cast-on! I would imagine that you would need to watch the video more than once to get it. I had to keep a little page of notes for myself to remember what came next when we were shooting the video. :)
OK so, since every time you do this, you always end up with an odd number, then have to add on one more if your pattern calls for it, what if you just cast on an odd number with the provisional yarn and then end up with an even number to work with??
You would never end up with an even number of stitches with this method. The math wouldn't work. Basically the equation to this method is 2x-1. x being the number of stitches you started with your scrap yarn.
Is there a reason that, if you wanted 14 stitches, you couldn't just cast on 8 so you wouldn't have to make one or does that cause an issue with the slip stitches?
Your channel is my go to for knitting techniques and I am grateful for all the help I get here. However I found that this video was incomplete, in so much as it seemed to leave many questions unanswered, hence all the questions in the comments. The angle of the camera also didn’t capture the movement well, which seemed all a bit too quick for an instructional video. Thank you however for the word captioning at the bottom of the screen that will make it easy to playback at a slower speed making it easier to comprehend. I am sure I will find it useful. I have a friend who uses this technique who can likely give clear up some of my unanswered questions.
thank you very much. Helpful. And another of your viewers, Laura Andrews, anticipated my next question, about knitting stranded with your flicking technique, and you linked her to "Two Color Knitting Tricks", which I also find instructive, so thanks twice! And Happy New Year.
The best knitting channel on RUclips comes through once again.
Love the concise speech - no cutsie, verbose additions. Very professional = ;-)

I honestly dont know how I would knit without your videos XD Thank you so much
Brilliant idea. I have been knitting for getting on for 70 years but never heard of this style of casting on before. Just shows, one is never too old to learn something new.
I watch this video every time I have a new cast on! Thank u so much 💛
This video saved me!!! Don't mind the steps! So much easier than Andrea Mowry's suggested technique for her sweaters

Love, love, love this technique. You make it so easy. Thank you. Your tutorials are truly the best. I always recommend them to friends.
I think this is same like double border cast on. Your way of doing is very easy. I love to watch your tutorials.
So much more simplified than the directions that came with a pattern I'm doing, question though - can I do a 2x2 rib with this?
wow¡ thank u sooo so much for this video i always come back to you and your videos, they are amazing, keep it up!
It took me a while to catch on, but this video really helped me master it. Very helpfujl video. Thank you.

Keep it up!
I have to see if you have a tutorial for doing this in the round.

Yes, it should work nicely with fisherman's rib. Worth a try!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Finland
For # of stitches u want cast on half the # of stitches required plus one (total stitches + 1, divided by 2)
Beautiful and simple to understand
Wondering two things...1) Can this be used in the round, for instance top of a sock? 2) Is this a stretchy as the German long tail cast on? Thank you so much for all your videos. I've learned so much from watching!
@AkashaOConnell Yes, I can put this on the list for technique videos to shoot in the future! :)
Thanks for your clear easy to understand videos.
excellent instructional video - thaks
wow, that was done so fast i didn't understand it at all, guess i will have to watch it many more times. plus it is obvious i'm brand new at this.

That was really great. This was my first time seeing anything like it.
Thanks..that's what I'm doing... I'm finding that this cast on is tighter than a normal k1p1 rib, which is why I asked..
can i not just do an additional back loop cast on after the last knit on the first row?
I did a sort of weird mix of provisional and tubular cast on somehow and when I removed the waste yarn I now have a round of live stitches at the bottom of the cuff...what do I do with them?
had to watch the video like 10 times, but I finally got it :)
Thank you so much. How does this differ from the Chinese Waitress CO? I mean in the finished edge.
I think on the 2nd row you explained you're knitting into the yarn overs, and slipping off the purls.
On the next row, I'm unclear... are you knitting on top of knitting and slipping the purls? I wish we could see more up close, or if you explained what the work should look like. Thanks!

@@verypinkknits Is the CO rows considered those first with the slipping of the yarns? Or it after it's completed fully?
@@marjiemoricals6397 - the cast-on itself is complete after finishing all of the rows (listed out in the video description field).
@@verypinkknits And that is when you suggest joining for it to be in the round? I would then use the tail or something to close that opening correct? I dont want to try and reinvent the wheel (which I am known to do :D)
Why do we have to repeat the 2 rows? Could we just do k1 p1?
Can I use this cast on for mittens worked flat?
I have tried and failed to do the long tail tubular cast on that my pattern asks for. This is so much easier, can I use it instead ? Thanks
I love the scarf you're wearing in the video! Can you share the pattern?
Can you KTBL if you're ribbing is twisted?
I am confused if you have to k1 at the end of the YO over row, how do you end up knitting into your yo’s in the following row? Wouldn’t you be slipping them because the third stitch would be a YO? Does it matter?
Thank you for all your helpful videos!

Yes - it is always fine to share my videos! Thank you for asking.
That is really neat! Is there a way to do it for k2p2 ribbing?
I tried this method and joined in the round on the third cast on row. Unfortunately the better looking side is the wrong side, on the inside of my work. the right side shows the slipped stitches so the v pulls across three or four rows. Did I join wrong?
Also wondering if you do this the whole ribbing size or only for the first 4 rows and then finish in only knit 1 p1
I'd follow the pattern and stick with the smaller needle for the ribbing. Otherwise, your ribbing might be too loose for that size. Good luck!
Hi, could you please explain how you would adapt this cast on for knitting in the round?
Cait After ripping out the waste yarn you can begin knitting in the round and use the tail to join the gap.
If my pattern calls for 81 stitches should I cast on half?
Is there an invisible cast on for garter stitch? All the ones I have found are for rib.
Joyce Sinclair, I’ve had the same problem and finally gave up looking. I used Cable Cast On for my sweater edge.

How would his work when pattern calls for an odd number of stitches to be cast on?
Could you do this in a knit 2 purl 2 method. I have a hat pattern that calls for that.
is it necessary to repeat rows 2/3 a second time?
on row 3 are we supposed to knit the knit stitches from the previous row, or alternate?
@mom2bsa The scarf I'm wearing is called Argosy, and the pattern is available for free on knitty dot com.

She did she cast on 7. odd number.
You would never end up with an even number of stitches with this method. The math wouldn't work. Basically the equation to this method is 2x-1. x being the number of stitches you started with your scrap yarn.

that looks much easier than the last video I watched.

I hold the yarn in the other hand. I can't figure it out yet.
The technique is the same, regardless of which hand you use to hold the working yarn.
I got it! Thankd
Please explain your yarn holding method to me. Are you knitting continental, but with yarn in right hand? I'm a brand new knitter. thanks.

It turned out horrible. Not a nice edge and a terrible jog. I tried it 2 times. Ugghhh...Not sure what I am doing wrong!
