This technique is a game changer and not just for hats. I knitted a raglan sleeved sweater from the neck down on a circular needle using this technique for the neckline. The result was a lovely stretchy neck which pulled over the head without binding but stayed neatly in shape once on. Brilliant!

Thank you for this tip! Excellent technique for the neck of raglan sleeve neck down sweater. It never occured to me and these necklines have irritated me for decades.

This is actually a VERY old technique - so thank you for bringing it back. I first used it when I started knitting "monmouth caps" which have a double knitted brim. The only difference is that I don't use a provisional cast on, just fold the brim in half when you're ready, with the right side facing you, and then pick up a stitch from the cast on and knit it with the stitch on the needle. I started doing these before I had circular needles and was knitting the hat on DPN's and that's the way the pattern was written. Monmouth caps were popular in the 1700's and 1800's. Time to teach the next generation!

Thanks for working so hard to help us all try new things. Without your videos I would never ever ever be the knitter I am today. You are my go resource for help and I know I’m not alone. 🙂❤️

Agreed!

I am so grateful to learn this method. What a difference it makes in the looks of the hat and now the wearer will not have to fiddle getting the brim folded just right. Thank you so much. Your instructions are very clear and you instruct in such a pleasant manner.

Wow! Staci, I absolutely learn something every time I watch your videos! My knitting is so much improved! Thank you , thank you for making me love knitting even more than I used to... I’ve knitted my whole life but now my knitting looks so much better and professionally done! I’m so glad I found your channel!

Bar none, this is the best double brim vid I've ever seen AND with the dreaded (you made it not scary) provisional cast on and removal.

Thanks Staci! Wow that is so cool, and I was just thinking how great that technique would be for cuffs on sleeves, or even a collar for a sweater!!

I love your videos. You're an excellent teacher, your video quality is superb, and your nails are always lovely and not distracting. I always recommend you to knitters who want to learn new techniques. Thank you!!

You're such a good teacher. I can't believe everything I have learned from you! Thank you!

I love this cuff, and thank you for the very thorough video. You are an Wonderful teacher! I love this for hats, and in think I love this for cuffs at the end of sweaters or jackets. Such a nice finish for a garment.

I like that idea.

I’ve done this a few times but I love your version. Very clear and doable! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I have had a time finding the proper cuff for the patterns I am going to start for Christmas presents. This is wonderful and makes provisional cast-ons less intimidating!

I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing. I work outside even in winter and wanted something thicker for my ears for the colder weather. Now I have it. Thanks again. 😀

Brenda…you could add ear flaps, it’s very easy.

This is so awesome! I've been knitting for several years but never had the idea to knit this double way. It's prettier 😍 Thank you for this!!!

Fascinating! I can just imagine the squishier, thicker edge. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

My mind is spinning... I have never seen any of this before and while I knew "There must be a way"...THANK YOU! You have a new fan!

This just popped up on my feed, all ready for winter hat making. It looks like a really comfy and warm cuff. Thanks!

Love casting on this way since I’m first and foremost a crocheter! Your instructions are always so clear, I would not have learned to knit if not for you!!!

Thank you! I made a double cuff (for a hat) for the first time today & used your method & it worked GREAT! Thank you for ALL your lessons! You've taught me so much!

You never disappoint! Your videos are great and your instruction clear. I have learned so much with your video. You have made me a better knitter!

You never disappoint! Glad I stumbled onto your video, as I'm preparing to knit an historic double-brim hat. Thank you!

Pretty sure you are incapable of dissappointing! Your videos are the very best. Always!!

I’ve learned many things by watching VeryPink Knits videos, but this one is near the top of my list! Such a great tutorial & helpful skill!

Can’t wait to try this technique. Hats are my favorite things to make and I’m up for a new challenge. Thanks for another great video!

Great video and very clear instructions! You have the best instructional videos and I have learned so much from you over the years.

You are such a Godsend, Staci. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

thank you so much for these super clear instructions! in fact, they were so clear that i felt confident enough to immediately put this technique to use on my project instead of trying it on scrap yarn first. thanks!!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I have used this method a few times now but I still refer back to this video. So helpful:)

When I first seen the title I thought to myself, oh I know how to do this, I have been doing it for years. But once again I was mistaken. I have been doubling the brim, but not with a provincial cast on. This looks so much easier to line up the stitches! Ya I will be doing this from now on, thanks once again for updating my knowledge!

Love your videos. You make everything so much less confusing. Thank you.

Thank you for this very clear tutorial. I have been wanting to see this done for a long time. There is a hat I wanted to knit that called for this technique, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks to you, I think I can now knit that hat!

I saw this years ago and loved it, but I wasn't there yet. Doing a hat for my dad for Xmas this year with this cuff. I am so excited. I hope he loves it!

Yay! I had completed a hat with this brim this past winter, but when you didn’t have a demonstration, I had to try and find it elsewhere. Your demonstrations are so much easier to follow, and I would have much rather learned from you!! Video saved!

Hello from Seattle! Your videos are all amazing! Informative, easy to follow, and fun! Thank you!

You are a magician! God bless your hands, heart and mind!!! I have a jar that my late mother loved to wear that has this type of cuff and I've been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to recreate it.

Great Tutorial, I have used this technique many times and it's wonderful that you are showing everyone exactly how to do it, I actually do it on to another circular cable to save the step of pulling out the chained stitches! Thanks for Sharing!

Amazing technique! Tks for ALL you share Stacy!!

Another great technique, explained so clearly. Thank you so much. Love your tutorials.

Great video Stacie. You've outdone yourself again. I can't wait to try this

I was literally talking to someone about this the other day wondering how it was done... awesome! Thank you.

This is brilliant. I shall definitely do this for my next hat. Your videos are always so clear. Thank you

Knitting some hats for charity, and I'm substituting this cuff in every pattern from now on for ALL OF THEM that I can. I live in the almost always frozen portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so this double thick cuff will be super comfy! Thank you!!

Once again the best video on this subject is from Very Pink Knits! Thank you!

I learn something every time I watch your videos! Thank you!❤

Very cool technique, and bonus mini-demo of provisional cast on, which actually cleared up a lot of confusion I've had about it. Serendipity! Thanks for sharing your knitting know how.

I was very impressed by your demonstration. Even though I’ve used this method in the past you helped refresh and clarify the technique.for me. I’ll be looking at you videos for more help.

WOW!!!! This is amazing!!! I’m making a baby sack and this is exactly what I need!!! Thank you!!!

I’m knitting the Petite Knit Oslo hat and am so glad you had a video demonstrating this for the brim!! I tried watching others but was so confused. I am amazed and grateful that you knit up all of those samples just for this demo. I love all your videos, thank you so much! 😊

Thanks so much for the tutorial and I'm definitely going to use it for next winter.

Really awesome!!! Never disapointed when I was your videos! Thanks!

Great timing! I just did this a couple of days ago trying to adapt it for cuffs on gloves. I didn't know how to get the stitches off both needles so I ended up transferring a stitch from the back needle to the front then k2tog. It worked, but I think I'll try your way next. I do everything Portuguese style so I have to adapt things a bit, but that just adds to the experience! I really like your videos. I started knitting around Feb and have learned most all I know from you.

Love Portuguese knitting looks so cool, beautifully stylish and efficient. Love how make hats inside out etc. just been looking at Retrorosaria and bought some yarns and pins. But it seems like there is only one woman in all of Portugal who has made ‘how to videos’ for Portuguese knitting where she is sitting outside. Someone else needs to do detailed videos about Portuguese knitting, there’s a huge gap in the market. Here’s your chance!

Thank you for your tutorial. I would like to reinforce what everyone else is saying and that is you are a great teacher. Thank you for being my Guardian Angel, keeping me calm.I will be back, have no doubt.

Staci you never disappoint! Thanks for the great video

That would make an awesome cowl, too! Beautiful!

Great video! You always make things wonderfully clear!

As usual, a wonderful tutorial from you, Staci. Thaks!

Always something fun and helpful to learn from you! Thank you.

So nice of you to take the time to work up these pieces and show them to us. You’re just The Best!

KZread, you spooky. Again, I was thinking about how to do this the other day, and tonight this video appears in my feed. That’s two, very odd knitting things that just “appeared.” Anyhow, you’re the absolute *bestest* knit tutorial YTer.

I love this! K I’ve been looking for this technique for a while. So thankful I finally found it!

You’re so awesome! Thank you for making great tutorials!

Will definitely be trying this for my cardigan cuffs! Thank you for the video.

Thank you for all your tutorials! You have helped me so much!

I had never done this technique before and it sounded so confusing from the instructions in my pattern. Naturally I came to your KZread😏. You always explain things so well, a wonderful gift you have. Tysm!

This is great,love it thank you for showing this .I just got yarn to knit hubby a hat and this will be perfect 😊

Great tutorial - I only wish I had seen this provisional cast on technique before I arrived at needing a bit of help with how-to join the brim to the inside. Clear and informative - thank you so much!

OMG. I actually knew this technique for crochet and adapted this technique on my knitting. And yes it works really good. What I usually do after joining the provisional cast on end to the other end is that I knit using 2 strands of yarn to even out the the thickness of the fabric since the cuff is thick. Very nice instructional video on this one. 10 thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I definitely have to try this. Thanks for the great video. Instructions very clear.

Thank you. That is very interesting. I wish I had seen this yesterday before I started knitting another baby hat for charity. My next baby hat will have a double-thick cuff. Nice and soft for a baby.

I have learned a lot from you. Thanks, I tell my friend to go on your web so they can learn to knit. I am also looking at your web page. I have been knitting for 50 years now. I used to volunteer and help kids learn how to knit. As my Daddy would always you can learn something new every day.

Thank you!!!!! I know I am one of those people that asked for this video!!!! I appreciate it!!!!!

this is just awesome - thank your taking the time to show this in such detail :)

I'm on my second hat with this cuff. I love this idea. Thanks for sharing. I have decided to do this cuff in helix knitting with 3 colors, which I have found to be great. With this cuff the set-up row for helix knitting is tucked away in the back when you knit the top and bottom together. It looks really nice.

I'm following a hat pattern than uses this technique and having a visual was really helpful, thanks for sharing!

Wow! You made it look so easy! I’m going to try this on my sock cuff!!

I’ve done this for sweater cuffs and neck ribbing too. Such a great technique.

I feel like I have been missing out because I didn’t know you had an Instagram! Off to hit the follow button!

Thanks for this clear demonstration. It did help.🌹🌸🌷

AWESOME technique!!

Great tutorial as always! I am going to try this on a hat I'm going to be starting! Thank you!

What a great video! So prepared, easy to follow!

Thank you Stacey!!! I can’t wait to try this with my next hat.

Ran across this again just in time. Starting new hats. Winters get brutal here.

ooohhhh!!! That was really cool! Can't wait to do it!

You have the best tutorials!!

Thank you for showing this technique I love it

love this technique thank you for demonstrating!

My life just got better...... No more cold ears! Can't say I was very deft when knitting the two sets of stitches together after the fold but it came out perfect first try, thank you! Next time I'm going to rib the inside of the cuff for structural reasons but do the side that shows in another pattern

Very common technique in machine knitting sock and hat cuffs and hems. I had to figure out on my own how to transfer to hand knitting last fall to make a Schwartz's hat by Christmas time. Thought about making a vid since there's hardly any it there, but you totally beat me to it. 😉

Wonderful video and demonstration!! Thank you so much!!

I love this! Can't wait to try it.

I am so happy that I found this explanation.

Nice technique. I will be definately use this on my hats this year !

This is exactly what I needed help with--thank you so much!

Thank you for the information. I know how to do this on a loom and know I know how to do it on needles. I like the look and feel of this type of hat much better.

Thanks Staci. That was perfect.

Love this technique!

Such a great tutorial, so thanks again.

What a great technique.

First time using this technique, thank you, easy to understand.
