- This cast-on isn't ideal for the beginning of a knit project, but it's how we can add stitches in the middle of our work. It is commonly used for making buttonholes and adding stitches to the underarms in a top-down raglan sweater.
You are great. Quick, to-the-point and no wasted words or actions. You were born to do these videos!!
Had this as a cast on in a new pattern, really thought it “had” to be tricky but low and behold.....this was the cast on I was taught when I first learned to knit when I was 9, yay, I now know it’s name 40 years later! Thanks, great quick/to the point video!
I’m currently knitting my first sweater and have referenced your channel so many times. Thank you so much for making these videos!
I'm holding my first knit sweater since 3 weeks because I stressed about how to make a cast on. And now that I see how easy it is, I just laugh for all my fears.
Thank you for the very quick, clear explanantion 🖤 I return to my knitting project !
just fyi, i'm still referring back to this video 11 yrs later. thank you Staci!
Wonderful, simple, short explanation!!!! You are amazing! Seriously, I wish you wrote my knitting books, you make sense!
Thank you for you help in my latest project, my dog Oliver, will no be happy I can finish his new winter hoodie
Short, sweet, concise. Perfect!
Ms Staci May I be so bold to thank you for your tutorials, tips and sound advice! Love your videos. I am now feeling more and more confident of stranded color knitting because of your tutorials and knitting companion tool. Lately I needed a backward loop casting for the thumb of my mitten. Thank you.
Wow, a no nonsense video. Straight to the point, love it 😍
Wow. This was a fun video to refer to today, from way back when... 9 years ago! Thank you, Staci. 😍
I would love if you could make a video for circular cast on. You are the only person on youtube who can explain things in a way I understand.
Thank you got me out of a muddle. All sorted and can continue with my project.
Well that was simple!! I made it harder for myself the first time I've ever had to CO in the middle of a row.
if you are having trouble with it you can slow the video down in the settings and it workeD!!
OMG that's hilarious! I totally needed to slow it down to get it- but I've never done that- she sounds totally drunk!!
OMG thank you! I couldn't figure out what all of the other comments were referring to. She goes so fast I can't possibly see what she's doing!
The yarn is drawn over your thumb so the part attached to the needle overlaps the loose end which you're holding firm. You scoop the lower/loose end onto the needle, then let go with your thumb and pull til the loop is locked on the needle. Took me a few watches to figure this out. But thanks for the videos of course :)
Thank you for your video. It was VERY helpful to me. Again, thanks.😀👍❤️
Love the little cardigan on mannequin
Thank you for getting to the point!
Despite saying that its not an ideal initial cast on, I prefer to use it if I am needing something with a flexible edge (such as a wrist cuff for example).
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much!
Excellent, I couldn't remember what this was called. thanks!
Brilliant. Thank you.
thank you queen
Nice. Thank you.
Thank you!!!
So clear. Thanks!
"Cheater's cast on"?? Why I never. XD
I have used nothing but for 50+ years. Call me a "cheater!"
looks like you're adding to a purl row, and adding the stitches purl-wise. I'm knitting in the round so it's all knit... does it make a difference??
Is the stitch orientation not normal with the backwards loop cast-on? My pattern says to cast on 23 backward loop method then turn and purl to marker, but the stitch orientation on the needles seems wrong on the cast on stitches. I seem to be doing the cast on correctly, should I just ignore this little issue? Help!
hi,, i have a pattern that ask for backwards loop cast on (BLCO) at the end of the row, no problem there, but in the next row , which starts with the BLCO, it ask for KTBL, how can it be done specially in the first stitch?
When doing this cast on in the middle of a row, which needle do you cast the stitches on to - left or right? If you cast onto the left needle, do you knit the new stitches in pattern afterwards?
Your working yarn is in position to cast the new stitches on to the right needle. Put them on there, then continue working from the stitches on the left needle. You'll knit into them (as normal stitches) in the next round/row.
VeryPink Knits Thank you!!
When I use this cast-on method to join pieces in the round, the cast-on tends to stretch on my cables. When I cast the new stitches on the needle I do tighten them down completely around the needle as shown here. However, the tension in that area becomes very loose and I have to adjust to make sure there aren't ladders. The tension does get better after working a few rows, but I can feel that area is still looser than the rest of my body section. Is there a way to avoid this?
This CO doesn't hold tension very well. It is really only useful when your pattern calls for it, when it is necessary to CO a few (very few!) stitches in the middle of a row or round. All purpose COs that keep better tension and look better are long-tail CO and knitted CO.
Too quick for me, I couldn't follow which way to twist the yarn!
Ah, you just made me realize I haven't don't a slow-motion version of this technique yet. Thank you!
This cast on does not give a very stable stitch when you go to knit them too much stretch in the yarn makes knitting those stitches very awkward. Is there another way?
You are right - this is not a very stable CO, as it is really just twisted loops on the needle. It is normally only used as a "fill in" CO, not for the cast-on you do when you are starting a project. If you are looking for a good, stable CO to use when you're starting a project, I recommend long tail CO: ruclips.net/video/sN9cNEozOLc/видео.html
To me this looks like the same exact thing you do when you're casting on your initial loops... Am I wrong here?
I suppose you can start other cast ons this way, most folks start with a slip knot.
You should be casting on slipknot style with 2 strands?
Is there an equivalent cast-off or something that looks similar to it?

Can I ask you a question,pls? Is this M1A cast on? Thanks for reply me 🤔
I don't think I've seen the abbreviation M1A before...I recommend contacting the pattern designer for clarity.
