Knitting Help - Slow Motion Knitted Cast-On

Показать описание

In this video I demonstrate the knitted CO, a standard cast-on, in slow-motion.

The other "mother" cast-ons:

This is how my mother taught me to cast on over 50 years ago. I knitted a lot in my “youth, ” but life got in the way, and I didn’t knit again for over 30 years. A couple of years ago (now long retired and with a grandbaby) I decided it was time to get back into knitting. Thank goodness for vloggers like Staci! I had forgotten—and didn’t know—so much! I certainly remembered this cast on (it was the only one I knew), but in exploring knitting videos was completely boggled by all the other methods. There were many videos for other ways (especially long tail, which I really find cumbersome), but was baffled that no one seemed to be using “my” method. I didn’t even know it had a name.

I do have a tip to add to this great video. Instead of using the tip of your left needle, make your stitches lower on your needle (yes, you’ll have to pull more yarn length through with your right needle) and you can snug it up without removing your right needle from the newly created stitch on your left needle. There is much less movement, it goes much quicker, and helps prevent you from snugging up the cast on stitch too tightly.

Love your slow motion videos. I like this cast on stitch because I don't have to figure out how much yarn I need for the long tail cast on. I know that it takes a little more time, but I feel that it is worth it.

Great CO to add to the long tail I've used for 50 years. Thanks! This is great to CO a lot of stitches when it's hard to know how much trail is needed. Also great for adding stitches at a neck or armhole.

Great demo! This is so simple and thank you so much for being the knitting tutor I have anywhere my ‘device’ is. Excellent way for people to learn, I love your thoughtfulness.

This is my favourite cast on. Great thanks, very clear demonstration.

Do you have a video comparing what different cast ons look like next to each other? I'm curious how they compare. I suppose I should stop being lazy, and knit my own swatches for reference. But if you already have one out there, why reinvent the wheel?

That was a good video. If you do more of these I’d like to know which projects are best for that particular cast on. Thank you

OMG, this was so easy. I stopped knitting for some time because I struggled with cast on!

Thank you! 🧶 I’m just learning to knit and the slow motion videos are much appreciated. (I’m a Crocheter so I’m learning Continental style. 😊)

Been following you for years. Excellent explanation for issues l have encountered. Thank you

Thank you SOOO much for this! I am a self-taught lefty knitter, and have always had problems with my stitches being mounted funny. I will give this a try for my next project!!

After you CO all the stitches for your project using the knitted-on technique, be sure to check that none of your stitches are twisted on the needle before you start knitting the first row of your pattern. I failed to do this when I began working on my Half+Half Triangles Wrap, so there's a short twisted area on the cast-on edge. That wrap is huge, so the twist is not that noticeable, but I don't want it to happen again.

Ha! I forgot I had you on slow-mo from watching your double knitting tutorial! "Guess I can put this back to normal speed now (lol)"
