THANK YOU so much! This is the only cast-on tutorial I've found that doesn't have crazy weaving or confusing commentary in it, you are awesome!

Omigosh thank you so much. I could not find just a simple cast on tutorial until I found your video. Everyone seems to want to cast on using fancy finger techniques. But this is nice and easy using only the needles and not having to wrap and twist around the thumb. Thank you! Needs more views and more likes <3

Thank you, used to knit complicated patterns but it’s been so long I’ve forgotten even the basics. So easy to follow.

I still can't do it 🤣😭 This is the easiest I have seen though, thank you and I will keep trying!

So helpful. I learned the longtail cast on first, and it was so hard. I couldn’t get it.
This was easier, so I always use this one now.

I watched this video at 0.5x so many times until I finally learned it and now I can do it almost smoothly. Thanks! This is the best one so far :) What do i do now with all these stitches on one needle? 🤣

[sunnysanni]

I did it I can't believe I did it thanks alot

[hmh]

Just curious why you take the right needle out after picking up the stitch? when you can just leave it in and keep going? Thanks

[paulalaboucan]

This came up in the google searches for how to cast on w/o a slip knot.

[jenhindley]

My only complaint for this video is going elsewhere to figure out how to do a slip knot. Otherwise this made perfect sense and is what I remember adults doing when I was a kid

[evstyles]

This would’ve been much easier to follow if the needle and wool weren’t both white!
