The BEST tutorial on this stitch.
Thank you!!!
This was very clear - thank you so much! I'm planning on starting a Musselburgh hat by Ysolde Teague and it starts with this cast on, one I haven't used before. A bit intimidating but you make it look quite manageable.
I do wish I had seen this last year! I failed miserably at this cast on and just gave up. This is going in my Knitting library! Thank you Laura!
Next time a pattern calls for it you'll be ready!!!
Laura this is wonderful. I nearly lost my mind doing this CO recently! Thank you !
You are so welcome! It is just like wrestling an octopus... and I think the tricks I show help simplify that!
@@LauraNelkin Wrestling an octopus!😂 You crack me up, Laura!
I just downloaded a pattern for a gift hat. I was in sheer regret of the purchase because of THIS cast on. I never could it for the Mussleberg or a circular shawl I tried knitting. This look so much easier than the other two variations I have tried. The pattern also calls for M1L which is how I found you. I was struggling to make them on tiny needles and magic loop. What a blessing to have found your videos!! I might get this hat made after all!! 🎉
Oh, I'm glad you've found me too!!!!! Happy to help you have success with ALL your knitting!
Thank you! This is the best circular cast on method!🙏💗
You have always been so helpful & willing to share your talent and knitting knowledge. Thank you - I am a visual learner.
I love sharing with you all! Plus, I have a fair number of patterns that use this cast on and it is so helpful to link to videos to ensure success!!!
Thank you for such a clear demonstration of this cast on. This is a very useful reference tool.
This was the only tutorial i was able to grasp!! thank you!
Thank you!
What a fantastic new method to add to my knitting skills toolbox. 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much - I'm attempting the Stephen West Geogradient MKAL and found this so much easier than the Emily Ocker cast on suggested!
You're very welcome!
It like the provisional cast on
I dread a top down hat because of this cast on. The octopus always won. Your way looks so much easier than what I’ve been doing. Just in time I want to make a couple of Ysolda’s Mussleburg, not sure I spelled that right, hats for gifts. Thank you
Oh, you can totally do it!!!! Can't wait to see your gift knitting!
I come from IG, I didn't know this CO method, nor your youtube channel 😅 thank you!
Thank you!!!
Thank you Laura…great instructions…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶💗
You are so welcome!!!
I have a question… After all eight stitches are on the needles and divided, am I supposed to flip over all of the needles to then begin knitting? So what I’m asking is, is the yarn tail supposed to be on the wrong side or the right side to begin knitting? The reason I ask is because other tutorials that I have watched tell us to flip over the needles to begin knitting and the tail is initially sticking out of the right side of the work. Or, does it not matter? Thanks for any clarification on this! 🌸
I find that it is easier to put the cast on stitches on 3 needles instead of 4 for the first several rounds. There’s not so many needles to manage and when you have several rows knit, it is easy to switch to 4 needles.
Ah, that's a good tip... so you put two "sides" on the same needle, with a marker separating them?
@@LauraNelkin Yes, I put a marker so that when I want to switch to 4 needles it is easy to do.
thank you was very helpful
Great demo!
Excellent!
Ty this was so helpful.
You are so welcome!!! Enjoy!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
How do you keep the circle from opening? Everytime I try to use this start, it opens up. The tail is too short to weave in and hold. I stopped using magic loop after a baby blanket came apart at the center.
Make the tail nice and long I guess? You can then keep snugging it up, weave it in really well later or sew it in
Ah! Use a long enough tail (at least 6 inches) so you can weave it in! I actually just showed a version of that here: instagram.com/p/CyMasCmrQFt/
Can you explain how to do this with one long circular needle?
Would you be willing to share a link for your sweater pattern? ❤
