omg!!!!!! this makes it so much easier for me! ty ty ty ty ty
Thanks so much for this video! Techknitter’s website has the instructions with pictures, and I just couldn’t get it, but with the video I can work along with you, and it’s really helped. I finally get it!
Thanks for showing both types of circular cast ons in your video. Your pacing and wording were exactly what I needed, and I’ve added this as a favorite
As for showing it “backwards,” as suggested by a previous comment, I did find a Eunny Jang description of Emily Ocker’s CO that has the tail to the right. Either way, left or right, the method’s still the same. So the way you did it didn’t confuse me at all. Thanks again!!!
Thanks for this video. I just started using this technique a few weeks ago, when I decided that I will no longer be knitting hats from the rim up. I forgot how to start out the invisible version and this video helped refresh my memory
You should really call it cast on with crochet needle, not circular needle. It’s too complicated for a beginner knitter who has never crocheted.
cool
I can’t thank you enough for this. I finally get it — thank you so much!
Thank you for this wonderful video! It’s one thing to read about a new technique and see still pictures of how to do it — but a narrated video where I can work along at the same time is invaluable. Your explanation is perfect. As far as fabfusion’s comment — I know Magic Loop in crochet, and while similar, it is a different technique, because in Magic Loop, you crochet the stitches on. Both techniques are for the sole purpose of being able to pull the tail and completely close the circle.
I know some crochet, but not lots. How is this “backwards”? If there is a better, neater, more effective way to work this cast on, I would like to know about it.
In the Crochet world it’s actually called a Magic Loop and it would seem you’re doing it backwards.. I’ve also used this method in my circular knitting all the time when needing to cast on because it gives it a tighter closure.
Now I get it! Thanks for posting this!
Very helpful! Thank you.
