I am thrilled to have found this video. I now use this for all my ribbing cast-ons. It’s stretchy and non-confining on the cuffs and bottoms of sweaters. I can’t stand a sweater that balloons at the hips and wrists due to a tight & unforgiving standard long tail cast-on. Now the bottom hangs nicely with no bulging. Thank you! You are my knitting guru! 🧶
I love the clear and calming way you describe what needs to be done. I have watched a few tutorials and yours is by far the best. Thank you for sharing. 😊
This is by far the best video I found for an easy tubular cast on, thank you! Love your videos- it’s so helpful to watch someone who knits the same way I do!

While I’ve been knitting for several years, I have not been able to knit a lot each time; so, I still consider myself “an Advanced Beginner.” I did get lost watching the tutorial (my overwhelmed feelings) by the extensive instruction - I “took my eye off the Eight ball” but I was wondering if the steps were too extensive for the outcome. But at the end, your work “magically” came together to make the beautiful tubular cast on. Kudos for the discovery! I hope that I remember that you have this wonderful cast on the next time I face a tubular cast on! Videos like these which broaden my awareness encourage me to keep pursuing this wonderful hobby of knitting. While I understand your preference for “left-handed” or “finger tip” knitting, I just pause the video and visualize how a “flicker” knitter or “right handed” knitter would move the yarn. I further understand that to show the “right handed” handling of the yarn would lengthen the video and possibly confuse the viewer.

Thank you so much, Anne! It means the world to me to know that you find my tutorials helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I appreciate it a lot.
I can't wait to try this technique. I am working on my Saturday Shrug and really struggling to get the tubular cast on right. This seems like a simpler way to do it. Thank you for sharing!
I’m so thankful for your explanation 🙏🏻 I tried so many times before and failed until I found your video! Thank you soooo much for this perfect clear instruction! 👌🏼
I've used this technique before, but I have to say this is the best demo of it that I've seen. The part where you fix the gap is especially helpful. Thank you so much for this!
Excellent video!! I've watched multiple videos but found this one to be the best at visual and oral instructions. Thank you so much!! This video has saved my project.
Wow! What a wonderful video! I definitely will be using this way to cast on for my "cuff down" socks. Joining the yarns for circular knitting was always a nightmare....now I won't have to dread doing it. Thanks so much.
Yeah!!!!! I can put away my crochet hooks. I tried the long tail rib cast on first but could no get it untwisted properly, so I tried the provisional with thecrochet hooks but my stitch numbers always got messed up. This was perfect and I did it right the first time I tried! 👍👍👍👍
I have been trying to knit a neck warm. It keeps on twisting on me and had to redo it again. Only to find out a few more rows and it is twisted again 😢. I tried your method and it worked 😅. I am super happy for it. I would like to bind off the same way of the cast on. Do you have a video for the same way bind off?
Hi Skya. I am happy to hear that this method worked for you. To make a matching bind off, use the method explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-bindoff Happy knitting!
Subscribed! Thank you! This is so easy and pretty. I have to knit flat for my next sweater, so could I just do as you instruct and not join the work? thanks again.
This cast on is worked a little bit different when we knit back and forth. The tutorial that explains how to do it on a flat piece is at www.10rowsaday.com/italian-caston Happy knitting :-)
Amazing demonstration. But I have a question: can you give any explanation of WHY you slip the purl cast on stitches in the first two rows? Why not just purl them as normal for 1x1 ribbing?
Tubular cast on forms a very stretchy edge. By slipping every other stitch in the first two rows we form a less elastic band that keeps the edge from stretching out. If you are after an extra-elastic edge, you can easily skip the first two rows and start working in ribbing or any other pattern right after you cast on stitches. This is a variation of tubular cast on, that is generally known as Italian cast on. Happy knitting, Michal :-)
The problem with so much extra t alking is that its hard to focus on learning .I had to.rewind it so many times that I got frustrated and left it for another day. Some thing , it seems , are just taking up space for your own entertainment , sections like 10:30 -11:18 for e xample should be edited out. None the less, the video is worthwhile and I thank you for your efforts.
I understand your inclination towards concise videos, but no, I don't include additional explanations for my own entertainment. From the feedback that I get from my viewers and readers I know that many of them appreciate understanding why we do each step and what happens if we omit this step or change it. If you are looking for quick knitting tutorials, take a look at the "Knitting in Under a Minute" playlist at ruclips.net/p/PLH_ldSndCil42sCIdn3HPXqyI5eB4J-il and the "Quick Reference Videos" playlist at ruclips.net/p/PLH_ldSndCil55iGsIbR0C02h7Kvq9KfJ1 Happy knitting!
Question .... to do a 2x2 I assume you do it the same way just cast on two knits and two purls and repeat you desired number of stitches? This looks like a very nice edge. Thank you
Marilyn, because this cast on is just a set of wraps, we have to alternate the way we make those wraps. Otherwise, they will fall apart. So no, we can't cast on two knits and then two purls. To work in 2x2 ribbing, make the cast on the same way as shown in this video and then work step 3 explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-caston-2x2rib Happy knitting :-)
Great tutorial! I'm a big fan of the Chinese Waitress Cast-on because it looks neat and it nice and stretchy. The name of this cast-on had me buffaloed - Long Tail Tubular Cast-on - Sounds scary! Watching your video has calmed my fears and I feel I can try this cast-on with my next project to see how I like it. Thanks so much!
I agree the name does sound scary :-) I used it because, well, that's how this type of cast on is called. I'm happy this tutorial convinced you that the cast on itself is not scary at all :-) Happy knitting!
I have watched about 10+ videos how to do an Italian tubular cast on in the Round in German and in English. Your method is definitely the best! Not only is it the easiest way, but also it's the nicest looking way, thank you so much for showing your talent! Question, though... if I would want the tube to be thicker, I would work the first two rows with slipping the purls and knitting the knit stitches, and then work two rows of purling the purls and sliping the knit stitches and THEN do my 1x1 ribbing, is that correct?
Hi Patricia. I'm glad you find this tutorial helpful :-) If you plan to join stitches for working in the round after the first two rows, you should slip the knits and purl the purls in the first round and knit the knits and slip the purls in the second round. Otherwise, you can knit the knits and slip the purls for two more rows and then join stitches for working in the round. Good luck!
Thank you, Tatiana :-) Tubular bind off looks very similar to this cast on. Here's a tutorial that explains how to do it - www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-bindoff Happy knitting :-)
Very nice and clear. I need to cast on 140 sts. How do I know how long to make the tail when I don’t know the finished width (it’s a cowl worked in the round). Also, do I begin the 2x2 rib right after the set up rows?
Hi Annie, one of the ways to estimate the length of the yarn tail is to cast on 10 stitches, then unravel them and measure the length of the tail it took. Multiply that length by 14 plus add some more yarn just in case and you will have an educated guess about the length of the tail you will need to cast on 140 stitches. Yes, you can work in 2x2 ribbing after you make the set up rows. The cast on edge will still look like 1x1 ribbing but it will be neat and elastic. To make the cast on edge look like 2x2 ribbing follow instructions in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-caston-2x2rib Good luck :-)
Can this be used to replace the chain crochet. I am attempting to do the Ranunculus sweater. I’m thinking it might be easier. Thank You. I sooo enjoy watching your podcasts🥰
Hi Diane. This cast on forms a very elastic edge. It might not be a good idea to use it to start a top-down sweater unless you want the neckline to be really stretchy. Good luck!
Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question though: if then I want to do a twisted ribbing with Ktbl, should I follow these steps and then start my twisted ribbing or should I K tbl also the second "preparation" row of the cast on (that in your video you just do for the first row)?
Hi Anna. You can work in twisted stitches from the very beginning. In row 1 of the cast on, knit every other stitch through the front loop instead of knitting it through the back loop. In row 2, knit every other stitch through the back loop. You can also start working in twisted rib after you form the cast on edge. Both options will look good. Happy knitting :-)
This is great and straight forward but the join between the first and last stitch on that first round leaves a wide gap no matter how tight I keep my tension. There is definitely the matter of the missing stitch on the cast on edge that creates a gap where the tail is because the 1st 2 foundation/setup rows create extra height. How do we weave that tail in to mimic the missing cast on stitch and close that gap so we have a professional looking edge?
This gap is easy to fix with two overhand stitches. You can do it after you work a few rounds or when you weave in the tails. The detailed step-by-step instructions are in the second part of this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-caston-round Happy knitting :-)
No. I usually use this cast on when I make seamless hats, cowls and top-down socks. For example, I used it to make the Simple Mix Beanie and Cowl (www.10rowsaday.com/simple-mix-beanie-cowl) In most other cases I use the long-tail cast on.
