This year, I don’t remember how many times I watched! This video is more understandable than any other books I have, knitted fabric is very soft and warm. Thank you very much!
I never imagine you could do double round ribbing 2x2, and I like to use this kind of CO to knit the sock's cuff; now I don't have to do always a 1x1 rib! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! This is so helpful. I just made a hat with a tubular CO, and your video has two improved techniques: First, your provisional CO looks so much faster than making a crochet chain and then picking up stitches from the chain. And, yours is jogless. I'm about to start another hat and I'm very excited about applying these tips!
I am new to knitting. I have been seeing and trying different method that I have seen on you tube. The only one that gives consistent results is yours. It is stable and easy to follow. The italian cast on… was a disaster… for a beginner. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😊
This and the 1x1 ribbing video were extremely clear and helpful, and I compared several other videos before practicing. I will settle for this method for all future rib cast-ons, without doubt, after having made three small swatches.
Thank you! This was so clear and helpful. Every other method for casting on 2x2 rib in the round was so difficult, but this was so easy. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for your really quick response to my question. I really love the way you show techniques on your channel. They are one of the best instructional videos that I have seen. Thank You!!
Ingenious! It is the same as 1x1 ribbing until approx 11:00 in the video and then decide if you want to do 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing (but Suzanne would always swatch first :-)
This was so helpful! I didn't realize how nice provisional cast on stitches would look (and was shocked how the provisional stitches could be removed like that)!
Thanks for making me love the tubular cast-on, and for a great instructional video. I just finished a baby cap using a different tubular cast-on, and it's not as stretchy as yours. Stretchy is what I needed, and this is perfect in the adult hat I started with your video. You rock!
Thank you! I hope you have chosen to subscribe to my channel and that you will share my videos on your social media groups such as FB, Ravelry, Pinterest, Reddit, etc. Happy knitting, Suzanne.
Thanks for these clear instructions Suzanne! The pattern I'm about to knit starts with a turtleneck, in the round, in twisted rib. The instructions say K1 tbl, P1 tbl on every row. I assume that's so the fabric is reversible when the turtleneck is folded over. I'm going to follow your instructions and add the twists to my stitches. Hoping it'll work out, but I trust your directions!
I do this method but flat, then join. I’ve experimented with 2 set up rows and 4. On my machine it do 2, then start ribbing right away. By hand I do 4. I use smaller needles to keep the edge from flairing. It’s a lot of work, but worth it. The y/o into 1/2 number of cast on creates the best most stable non flairing edge.
This is such a great cast on, thanks for showing us this! I used this for sleeves and it turned out super stretchy. Now I just need to knit the body of the jumper 🙄
Hi Suzanne! I LOVE your videos. You truly have some of the best tips and tricks! Was wondering: is there a way to adapt this method using two colors? I am aware of the two color italian tubular cast on done flat, but i love how this method has no jog for knitting in the round.
I love the video. I'm a little confused with round one and round two ? Round one is working the needle in the front. Is round two the other side of the round one, which is opposite of what was done on round one? So if you put them up together the knits will match the knits from one side of the cuff to the other side of the cuff? Thank you
Hi Suzanne, is there a chanel in there for elastic or cord to be inserted. This looks gorgeous for socks or a normal collar but I need something I can put a cord in at the moment. Thanks!
So, now you have learned the difference between the Italian BO and Tubular BO. The difference is that in the Tubular, there is that tube created by the slipped stitches set up rounds. It is also very sturdy. The part of the bind off where you are threading the tapestry needle through the stitches is the Italian BO, which can be done by itself, without the slipped stitch rounds. It also looks nice, but there is no tube, and it is less durable.
@@SuzanneBryan well I havent exactly learnt the difference except one creates a tube and one doesnt. Ive never done the italian one. Today Im making my own pattern for a peasant top. A nd am very happ y this works for as many rows as you like. You get twice the number of stit ch es after the tube is finished with which is nice because I dont have to make any increases for my pattern :). Were very lucky to have you showing us everything . I really appreciate you :)
Hi Suzanne! Thank you so much for your tutorial. I do love it! I'll try it👍🏼. Suzanne, do you have a video teaching how to bind off this tubular ribbing 2x2? I'll appreciate if you can send me the link✌🏼 Thank you very much😘
@@SuzanneBryan Hi Suzanne! Thanks to your absolutely brilliant videos I have taken up knitting again after 20 years! Have you had the chance to work on this bind off? I'm trying to finish a pair of socks before Christmas but I'm clearly not clever enough to follow other people's instructions XD
Hi Meg. I actually switch to circulars when the circumference is big enough. I do most of my small circumference knitting on 2 circulars, but you could also use dpns or magic loop. The directions will stay the same.
Hi Suzanne: If you were knitting flat tubular cast on, would you knit 4 setup rows? I've watched all the videos on knitting this type of cast on in flat knitting and the video shows knitting only 2 setup rows.
What a great question. Make two swatches and try it with the 4 passes vs 2 passes and see what you think. Which do you like best? Then that is what you should do.
@@SuzanneBryan I just tested knitting 6 setup rows and it looks great! So, 4 rows would look good too. Another thing I don't understand: There are lots of videos called tubular bind off for flat knitting (a sewn bind off for ribbing) and they show no setup rows before cutting the yarn. How can this bind off be called tubular, when no tube is knitted before binding off?
Why is it that we do 2 rows of the knit slip then slip purl instead of just one (or rather, go around 4 times instead of 2, I know the language is confusing for this!)?
If you did not do the rows of double knitting (the slipping part) the structure would be very soft and would not hold its shape. Without the double knitting it is a cast on used for brioche and double knitting and is called Italian cast on. With the double knitting you can use it for ribbing, either 1x1 or 2x2. Hope this answers your question. Happy knitting.
It depends on the knitter. I do not change to a smaller needle. Some people do. I have found that if I am working with wool, that if I steam or wet block the ribbing prior to stretching it for the first time, (let it dry completely) that it retains the original shape.
I'm probably missing something, but It was not clear at all what has she done with the sts after dividing them into 2 needles? From where did she start? And why every video on this topic assumes every knitter is a crocheter as well? I can buy a crochet needle, but the crochet part is always rushed on those videos.
Great Video! Thanks for teaching us this method. Now my question: if my instructions ask for the rib this1k.,1p.,1k.,2p can I use this tubular cast on?
This is not working for me at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've followed the instructions to a T three times now and I end up with a neck that's four times the size I need it. Something happens with the provisional caston that makes it stretch out!
I watched this over and over. What I can't follow is how many different needles she is using. Are there two sets of circulars? Kinda lost me with this.
This is a small diameter sample. The choices for working it are dpns, 2 circulars or magic loop. This method will work on all of them. or if your sample is large enough to just use 1 circular needle, this method will work for that too.
@@SuzanneBryan I don't have my personal channel, but I can there is one awesome Russian girl who does just like you amazing job, but it's in Russian hold on I will find for you.
@@SuzanneBryan There is things to improve, but the main idea, you will understand even it's in Russian. I was looking for you with subtitles, but funny thing, they have subtitles in the same language. I speak 7 languages ( Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Hebrew, and English), if you need help, please let me know. Anyway, there is a better video to show from the same masterNataly Masters and this is: КАК НАБРАТЬ ПЕТЛИ ФАБРИЧНЫМ СПОСОБОМ 2Х2!!! Подробный МК!

I use two circular needles - each 24 inches long. You can also use magic loop or dpns, it is personal preference. Happy Holidays.
@@SuzanneBryan bless you and thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. Happy holidays to you too ❤️🙏
Hi Suzanne! I LOVE your videos. You truly have some of the best tips and tricks!
Was wondering: is there a way to adapt this method using two colors? I am aware of the two color italian tubular cast on done flat, but i love how this method has no jog for knitting in the round.
Yes, absolutely, it would be the same as the Italian cast on. But then you would have to transpose every 3rd stitch to make it 2x2 ribbing.
I love the video. I'm a little confused with round one and round two ? Round one is working the needle in the front. Is round two the other side of the round one, which is opposite of what was done on round one? So if you put them up together the knits will match the knits from one side of the cuff to the other side of the cuff? Thank you
That’s was awesome! Now do tubular cast on 2x2 rib flat.
I’ll have to add that to the list!
Thank You🙏🥰😘
You are very welcome Meka Star! Happy knitting.
Hi Suzanne, is there a chanel in there for elastic or cord to be inserted. This looks gorgeous for socks or a normal collar but I need something I can put a cord in at the moment. Thanks!
I did it :) Yes theres a chanel for elastic :)
Yes, there is a channel, that is why it is called a tubular bind off.

I am not sure if I understand how many needles do we need here. Circular needles and one other double pointed or two pairs of circular ones?
Two circulars
@@SuzanneBryan Thank you 😊
Are the results the same as flat tubular cast on? Where you Join in the round after the 4th row knit flat.
Yes. There are several ways to achieve the same results. This is my favorite. Easiest for working in the round, in my opinion. Happy Holidays.
Thank you for making a wonderful tutorial. How stretchy is this cast on? Will it work well for socks and hats?
It is more stretchy than a long tail cast on. Works great for socks and hats. You might want to work a sample first to check it out for yourself.
Thank you, Suzanne.
Hi Suzanne! Thank you so much for your tutorial. I do love it! I'll try it👍🏼. Suzanne, do you have a video teaching how to bind off this tubular ribbing 2x2? I'll appreciate if you can send me the link✌🏼 Thank you very much😘

Is there a reason you have to use 2 circulars? If knitting a hat, why not just use one 16 inch circular? Thanks.
For this size of a project ( smaller than 16"), yes, or dpns, or magic loop.
Great Video! Thanks for teaching us this method. Now my question: if my instructions ask for the rib this1k.,1p.,1k.,2p can I use this tubular cast on?

Amazing!!! Wish me luck.....making beanie for my son to give his friend.......😸

I really like this methods for some things but sometimes this cast on is too puffy.
In that case you would go down in needle size one or more sizes. Give it a try on a swatch and see what works for you.
Only used the tubular cast - on once for a hat..deb
