This is best example I have found after searching for days! Also grateful for the continental example, and the step of turning the work. Thanks!

Excellent instructions for continental! Thank you. Knitting for years and years and finally able to follow more patterns with the help of a YouTube search and not needing to decipher so many extra moves required for English style (🤔).

Thank you! This is exactly where I am in my pattern and I’ve never done this before. These are perfect instructions for continental style!

Wow thank you, this has been the best, clearest example I have found!! I understood immediately the process and your video was so easy to follow :)

So much nicer looking than the thumb cast-on I've always done, and much easier to tension, too. Thank you!

Was searching forever to find a continental example since its quite different thank you so much!

[lizsawley]

excellent. Many thanks. All it takes is for an instruction in a knitting pattern to just turn the work first before casting on

Hello, I am having an issue with a pattern that you might be able to help me with. I'm a little confused on the directions. I'm a new knitter so I need some help. The pattern I am using is an adult hoodie on circular needles. I have started off ok but I am on the pocket now and it tells me to put my work on hold, this I have done but the live yarn is not in a spot to continue using it. Pocket instructions read as follows: Knit 26 sts, place a marker, knit 48 sts, place a marker, knit to the end of rnd. (I have done this), The sts between the markers are the pocket sts. The pocket is knit back and forth in stocking st while the rest of the work is on hold.** From WS cast on an edge st on both sides 50 sts.*(*HOW DO I DO THIS) On RS, k2tog after the starting edge st and k2tog before the dege st at the end of the row. Repeat k2tog on every second row 4 times, and on every forth row 7 times. On last row fron WS cast off edge st on both sides. Put the last 24 sts on hold on a stitch wire. ....

Hi! I hope someone can help me with this pattern I’m struggling with. The pattern says: “As soon as you have knitted the last st of the right front, cast on in total 14 | 16 | 16 |18 | 18 | 20) new sts with your preferred cast on method and continue knitting the sts of the left front”
I am knitting a sweater and when i cast on in the middle of the row it just leaves me with a big hole in the middle, that I don’t think should be there. 😅 Any idea on how to cast on without having a hole in the middle? Or is there something I’m missing?
