Honestly, this is the absolute best and easiest version of the disappearing loop cast on. Excellent video, don’t get frustrated by watching anything else! Well done!

This essentially looks like doing a magic ring in crochet when working in the round! 😮 it makes so much sense! Thanks!

Sat down for "one last try" at center cast on and...this video finally did it. Only backed up once so I could have the step by step narration for all 8 stitches. Brilliant!

Your tutorial on how to do this cast on method is the VERY BEST on you tube.
Thankyou for making my cast on for my 1st mussbleburgh hat easy breezy. 😊

I’ve watched a LOT of videos on how to do the pinhole cast on, and this is by far the best one. Thank you for demonstrating what I think is the simplest way to do this cast-on…no crochet hook, no reorienting stitches, and heaven forbid no DPNs flopping around with only 8 stitches on them!

Like OP have said, I tried watching another creator's video and following written instructions, and your tutorial was just the ticket. It's so much about the holding of the stitches while you manipulate the yarn. Also, I know other knitters do the crochet magic ring to start and then transfer to their knitting needles to accomplish the same thing. I prefer to learn how to do it this way, but as a lifelong crocheter who learned knitting as an adult, I think that could be very helpful for others who have the same background. Love your videos!

Thank you for making this much clearer. Watched other videos & couldn't keep up - I've been knitting for 40 odd years.

Thank you for this! I just found it after trying to cast on with help from 4 or 5 other tutorials, including Ysolda's. This is by far the best. Thank you so much!!!
