- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- Another provisional cast-on for your knitting quiver - using two circular needles to begin a piece with live stitches on both sides.
The poncho on the mannequin is my Rodeo Drive Poncho, pattern and video tutorial:

So I just watched a video of yours from 7 years ago. Apparently you don't age. :-] . Love your videos.
You are the BEST! Thank you so much for creating such fun educational videos that help keep this night nurse awake as I knit😊
Well that looks easier than the tangled knots I get with other cast ons. Off to try it out now. Fingers crossed. Thank you Stacey. xxJane
Very helpful. I will start new pair of socks next week and will try this method. Thank you.
Largely in favor of Turkish cast on and knitting with two circ's most of all. Thanks for sharing this cast on. Will try it to see which way looks neater 🤗Started knitting socks cuff down and discovered there are various ways of doing it. Great addition to knitting tools! Thanks again and appreciate it 🌻
Wow someday I’ll give this a try and I know where to go to learn it well. Thank you for this video
Wow that's cool! It might be easier than Judy's magic cast on. I'll have to try it for 2 at a time. Starting a new pair of socks tomorrow! Thank you!
Thank you again....my knitting mother and queen!
thanks for the video! I just got some beautiful patterns from Sunday Knits that calls for provisional cast-on, and I'm glad I found an explanation from my go-to knitting video mentor! :)
This video would have been REALLY helpful for the Swirlagon socks in Sock Madness this year. I didn't manage to get through round 6 because of it. May try them again using this technique!
What a great way to cast on. Thanks.
Oh my goodness! I hold my left hand yarn the same way in knitting and crochet 🧶!
Thanks staci...this is a good learning turtorial......😄
Thanks! I remember trying another method and it was multiple steps and very confusing. This will be my project next when I knit some small bags.
I asked you about this, so thank you, thank you!!!
Can you show us how to knit with a travelling loop? I found myself doing it (not well) without wanting or planning to do so!
Awesome! Thank you!
Staci, thank you for this!
One of the banes of my existence (I have a few; I am multi-baned) is picking up stitches from a cast-on row to knit a double-brim hat. Would I be able to leave the stitches on the smaller needle, knit the double length of the brim, and then bring up the smaller needle to knit the two stitches together to create the double rim?
Yes - totally doable. You can also slip those stitches to scrap yarn, if the cord is getting in your way.
@@verypinkknits Perfect, will try this soon!
Mirjam Weiss Thank you for asking this question! I’ve been looking for an easier way to knit folded-brim hats also. Will have to try this.
I can’t find a tutorial for this method in the round, so at least I know it’s doable now!
That is exactly what I want to do. I'm not sure I understand it enough from this video to do it in the round. I want to make a double rimmed hat without having to pick up stitches from a provisional cast on scrap yarn
Dec 31, 2022 THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JOAN IN MI
Many thanks!
Just to clarify, Staci, this provisional cast on would be usd for circular knitting, but not for straight knitting needing a crochet provisional cast on. Is this correct? For toe up socks but not for your Shaker dishcloths...
This looks so simple and amazing for toe up socks!! Thanks for sharing, answering and for your free Shaker dishcloth pattern!! I’m excited to get started on it!!😍🧶👍🏼
Yes, I have the same question as Pamela and a couple of the ladies below. How would you use this (it looks like for toe-up socks, perhaps?), and why is it called a provisional cast-on? It looks like it's pretty permanent. Thanks, and thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of all things knitting (and for being willing to learn new things yourself so that you can share them!).
Other COs are more accurately called "provisional"...it's called that because you have live stitches on both sides, instead of a closed cast-on that has live stitches on only one side. You would only use it if your pattern calls for it, like in toe-up socks.
VeryPink Knits
This makes sense!! Thanks 🧶👍🏼😍
Can you make a video showing how you switch to magic loop after the provisional stitches are cast on to the same circular needles? I must have tried this 10x and can’t figure out how to do to.
I'm new to knitting and love your videos. Why would I need to know this?
You use it only when a pattern calls for a provisional cast on...this is an alternative to the Turkish CO or Judy's Magic CO.
How do you put all of the stitches on to one needle to continue knitting? . my pattern says as you knit row 3 transfer ALL sts to one circular needle for remainder of project thank YOU very much
Thanks!
Thank you this is one for me to practice !
Would you do it the same way if you had to cast on in ribbing?
Why would you do a provisional cast-on? I must have missed you explaining it. Thanks
You really only use it when a pattern calls for it...it is a way of having live stitches on both sides of the work, instead of just one.
@@verypinkknits Thank you so much for answering. I have never seen a pattern call for this technique. Will keep my eyes open! Thanks again.
Nice and easy thank you ❤
SORRY OFF TOPIC But. Two of my first real patterns were ones I did tutorials for including my first ever real pattern not just a sttitch repeated over and over for a scarf of after patterns so thank you teaching me. I revamped knit stitch counts color changes and yarn substiutions. So I trust I can learn from you.
***What would you say is a good first short row pattern to lesrn thrm nd not go insane? Id prefer that it be a shawl or a wrap. No socks or hats yet please. Thanks in advance.***
Hmm...I don't think I have a recommendation for a pattern that is what I would call "good practice" for short rows. I think your best bet is to just keep knitting patterns you enjoy, and you'll come across short rows in that journey, and get good practice that way. (Most of my patterns that use short rows are socks, which is maybe the best and quickest way to practice short rows, but you have asked that I don't recommend socks.)
I don’t understand how to join this in the round for a hat. I don’t understand where this goes next, other than socks.
The pattern you are following will tell you where to go next after you finish the CO. I am just demonstrating the CO here.
Oh I’m so confused!! My pattern calls for a provisional cast on for this double thick hat (from raverly) i have no clue how to use a crochet hook so I came here.. tho I’m still really confused. 😞
This video might be more of what you're looking for: ruclips.net/video/Cu3bl_TxXnw/видео.html
Thank you so much for sending me to this video!! it helped tremendously and I’m now knitting away!
What would you say is the advantage of using this provisional cast on compared to the turkish cast on or Judy's magic cast on? 🙂
There is no particular advantage, just a different way of working a provoco. I suppose if you have a difficult time wrangling Judy's Magic or Turkish COs, this would be an advantage.
@@verypinkknits Okay. Thanks! For this and all your good videos!
I don't see how this is a true provisional cast on -- one that you would need at the end of your project for grafting, for example. It just looks like a screwy magic loop with miss-matched needles.
Other COs are more accurately called "provisional"...it's called that because you have live stitches on both sides, instead of a closed cast-on that has live stitches on only one side. But you can reserve half of the stitches from this CO easily, like with a piece of scrap yarn, to retrieve the live stitches later. I use "miss-matched" needles, as I explain in the video, because I don't expect people to have or need two sets of circulars in the same size. I was trying to be helpful.
Imagine instead of going around and knitting both sides at the same time, that you worked backwards and forwards on one side only of the cast on. Then you would have the other loops on the other needle as live stitches ready to work in the other direction.
I think while working in the round this is more accurately a substitute for, say, Judy's magic cast on, but if you were working back and forth it absolutely could be substituted for a method that uses scrap yarn for a provisional.
👍
What yarn did you use? It sure looks “sticky”.
You'll always find all of the information about everything you see in my videos in the video description field, just below the video. The yarn I used is a wool/acrylic blend from Paintbox Yarns.
What is a provisional cast on and why would you use it?
You would only use it if your pattern calls for it, it is probably most often used it toe-up socks.
@@verypinkknits Thank you
Why are you calling this a provisional cast-on?
Other COs are more accurately called "provisional"...it's called that because you have live stitches on both sides, instead of a closed cast-on that has live stitches on only one side.
VeryPink Knits I don’t see the other set of live stitches. It seems you’re going to start working in the round. I always thought provisional meant having idle live stitches that are worked later. I’m confused. When would you use this cast on for?
Right - with a normal CO, you're going to only have live stitches on one side of the work, and a closed CO edge on the other. This gives you stitches all the way around, and yes - ready to work in the round. Like I said, other COs are more accurately called "provisional", because you pick up the reserved stitches later - but this gives the same results of live stitches all around immediately. You could run a piece of scrap yarn through half of the stitches in this CO and pick them up later, if your pattern calls for that kind of CO.
VeryPink Knits sorry for asking the same question as others. I should have read through all the posts. But thanks for the clarification. I learn so much from all your videos and podcasts. Did I mention that I learned how to knit socks because of your videos. Thanks so much for helping me become a better and more confident knitter.

I've been following you for years, but because I just discovered your stand on ravelry against our President and his administration, I am unsubscribing.
