Thank you for the tips ! 🙏am glad to find your channel before I started my big project 'Harlequin coat' which all miters using cable cast on..and no more holes 🤗.
I'm brand new to this, and bought a much -too - complex pattern for a hat. Your video is the first (after watching 4 others) to get me to understand how to cast on this way!! I'm off to a start! Thank you!
I'm a total beginner, going through RUclips to learn as much as I can before starting my first project. This tutorial is brilliant. Not too fast like some on here, and clear instructions. Have saved this video, and just like to thank you for taking the time to make the video for everyone. 👍🏼 💐
Welcome to knitting! One of my favorite aspects of knitting is that no matter how long you do it, there are always new skills tricks to learn and try. Glad I can share a few. Happy stitching!
@@thechillydog - Just read your "about" info.... crikey you work hard ! Keep up the good work Chilly Dog {couldn't find your name in the info} Thanks for replying...... if I have any Qs would it be ok to ask you ? It's understandable if you are too busy. 👍🏼 💐
@@UKPurplePanther My knitting keeps me out of trouble 😉. I'm happy to answer quick questions if you drop me an email. I can help with more complicated questions, as my workload allows, but we would need to schedule a virtual lesson. (Just like in-person lessons, I do have to charge for that of course.)
I've always used this cast on method, but I'm working on a project with fingering yarn, and #5 circular needles. After I purl my first round, the cast on row looks holey, if that makes sense.
I’m a crocheter learning to knit and your tutorial is perfect. Your pacing is just right!! Thank you! Your tutorial is getting me started on a gnome hat for my 2nd grandson! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your pro-tips with the cable cast on. I have been struggling with losing the last stitch and had to restart my knitting project (baby blanket) a number of the times. Your tip has eliminated the frustration I was experiencing.
Interesting! I’ve always done it the second way. I am not comfortable slipping the stitch on the needle the first way. I have to go under and then up. Weird I know. It’s just how I was taught. Thanks for showing the difference in how they look. And also for the pro tips. What a big difference!
Thanks a lot for this video. I was looking for these tips for first and last stitch for days and your video is the only one I have found. do you have tips for the first and last stitch for longtail cast on? I have checked your video but I could not find. Any tips??
I haven't done a video on that yet, but I'll add it to my topic idea list. One quick tip for the first stitch of a longtail CO is to skip the slip knot. The first CO st ends up being sort of like a backward loop and I think it's neater.
Yes ! Others show the knit on cast on WITH the twist and others show how to do it WITHOUT the twist so I wondered which was right or wrong. This video shows BOTH and what the results of each are. How great to know there are two different methods that have different results. And the tips were great as well, because I can alleviate issues from the beginning.
Thank you. You explained this very well. Have you ever heard of a sloped cast on? It is used in vogue knitting patter from winter 06/07 fitted jacket and I cannot find out how to do the cast on.
Hello! Great tutorial! My question. I have only been told to use the cable cast on at the beginning on an already knit row. Is there a way to prevent the hole at the beginning of a row?
Your videos are excellent! I'm hoping you could share some advice: I used your 'twisted cable cast on' for a herringbone stitch blanket. But now I'm not sure what method would be best to bind off. What would you suggest? Please take care and thanks again for sharing so many helpful videos!
For a firm stitch like herringbone, I would probably use either a plain bind off or (if you crochet) a single crochet bind off. They wouldn't be exact matches to the cast on, but very close.
How do you knit on that row?(after that row) I bought a huge book and it assumes i know how to knit (build) on the whole row... I don't. This is exactly why i bought the book :/
Thanks for this! I'm a beginner knitter and when searching for cable cast -on videos most only show one or the other so I wasn't sure which one was the "official" cable co! I know that for the knitted co you have to do the twist that you do in your second cable co, but I wasn't sure if you had to do it for the cable one. Is there a cable cast off too? Thanks!
Believe it or not, you can do the knit cast on without the twist, too. Just like for this one, it gives a slightly different look at the edge of your fabric. Unfortunately, I've never seen a cast off that mirrors the cable cast on. That doesn't mean it's not out there, though. I'm always surprised how many different ways there are to cast on/off.
@@thechillydog Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the pace of your instructional videos. I hope you might one day offer a tutorial on how to knit something like a sock or mitten from beginning to end!
@@gammaguire5623 check out my playlists. I have designed a number of patterns that have video support, from cast on through bind off. Two of my most popular ones are my Whale Done Socks KAL and my Butterfly Kisses (earwarmer and fingerless mitts) KAL.
You absolutely can knit the stitch instead of knitting between the stitches but then it's known as a knit cast on and not a cable cast on ;). Both work, but technically they are two different methods for casting on.
Because putting the needle between the stitches loosens the cast on so it is has more stretch. However, don't pull the stitch as tight as the video, it will be easier to put the needles between the stitches
I've been using a knitted cast on for years, and just started using the cabled cast on. The pro tips at the end are brilliant, thank you!
Very helpful video! The Tips are worth knowing to fix cast-on issues that have plagued us in the past. Thank you!!
Great tutorial. Easy and clear to follow. Thank you.
Thank you for the tips ! 🙏am glad to find your channel before I started my big project 'Harlequin coat' which all miters using cable cast on..and no more holes 🤗.
Your pro tips & easily followed techniques for both types cable cast-ons have made this my go-to cast-on for hats. Thanks so much!

Thank you, I often wondered how to make the final cast on look right- your second tip fixed that🥰
This answered a whole pile of questions for me, thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Today is cast on day for Marie Green’s 4-Day KAL and this is the cast on used.
Perfect! Enjoy the KAL. Marie's sweater looks adorable and what a great way to spend a few days, especially right now. Happy knitting!
that's why I'm here too! I'm going to use the knit-wise version not the pearl-wise - I like that raised edge.
@@AusTexNatalie Have fun knitting! I think it's so cool that this CO gives you a couple different options with the edge.

I like the 2nd cast on best. Thank you for your tutorial 😇
I enjoyed it! I really did... so clever... will use both pro tips always...

Love the videos. Very clear explanations and love the pro tips I have never heard before, even after knitting for 50+ years.
Nice quality video! Clear instructions!
Thank you for this great tutorial, I finally got it.!
You’re the best! By the way, your mobius cast-on tutorial (previous tutorial) is easier to see & understand than Cat's. Thank you.
Your video has all the elements of excellent instruction! Thank you for this. I'm a subscriber and hope to find more great videos.
Great tips. Thank you.
Thank you.
Very professional tutorial thanks for helping.

Chilly Dog, do you have a video showing the Cable Cast Off ?
I would like the edges to look the same 🤔
Thank you
Thank you for the tips! It’s always bothered me that the corner with the tail was messy - problem solved after many years of knitting!!😊
Thank you. You explained this very well. Have you ever heard of a sloped cast on? It is used in vogue knitting patter from winter 06/07 fitted jacket and I cannot find out how to do the cast on.
Hmm.... I have heard of a sloped bind off, but never a sloped cast on.
@@thechillydog Thank you for your quick resonse.

I do this cast on all the time for the socks. I just use a loop for the first stitch without the knot.

I don't. This is exactly why i bought the book :/

Which way to knit is better in 2 ways?
I don't quite understand. can you explain it to me?
Thank you.
Neither way is better. They just create slightly different edges.
i dont understand why you need to put the right needle BETWEEN 2 stiches. Why cant we simply knit the top stich and cast it on?
You absolutely can knit the stitch instead of knitting between the stitches but then it's known as a knit cast on and not a cable cast on ;). Both work, but technically they are two different methods for casting on.
Because putting the needle between the stitches loosens the cast on so it is has more stretch. However, don't pull the stitch as tight as the video, it will be easier to put the needles between the stitches
