So super helpful ! I was so stuck in this ! Thank you so much🍀⚡️🫧💥

Very clear video. Only wish we had seen the transfer of the held stitches to the working needle.

If you use stitch saver (SS). Place the tip of the needle in the end of your stitch saver and pull the SS cord out the other end. Pro tip if you knit very tight; use interchangeable needles. Change the needle to a smaller size than the project and transfer

Agree. And removing that slip knot wasn't shown.

I use Judy’s Magic Cast-on for toe up socks and the alternating mount of the stitches is something familiar to me. Here’s how I solved it: wrap the yarn overs in the opposite direction. They are what’s causing the reverse mount stitches and wrapping the “wrong” way means the stitch is mounted properly when you go to knit it. Love the video! I subscribed!

Hi Thank you for your clear instruction how to make in round. I always come back to this video.

Thank you for making this clear for both even and odd number of stitches. So helpful!

Such a simple way to do provisional cast on with circular needles. Thanks.

So glad I’ve found this video. Very well explained. You’ve got a new subscriber!

I'd like to thank you for this absolutely outstanding tutorial. It's hands down the best illustrated and explained knitting video I've come across and I'm a knitter of 30 years. So helpful! I've subscribed and am looking forward to watching your other videos! Thank you :)

Thank you thank you You are excellent to understand so clear yo made it relaxing to follow 😀😊😁

Great video!

I get it!! Thanks for an excellent explanation. My wheels are in motion... wheeeee!

god bless!! this is exactly what i needed

Love this❤❤❤

I loved the tutorial for this provisional cast on. It looks a bit like Cat Bordhi's mobius cast on. I like not having to pick up stitches for projects and will definitely use this method for any pattern I need a provisional cast on. I would probably use an extender piece so I wouldn't have to worry about my cat getting the stopper tip off.

Loved your very helpful explanation.

Thanks!

I enjoyed learning this. But I wish you had shown where the held stitches were before you slipped them to a needle to work. Did the no-needle-cable follow you throughout the entire yoke area? Or at what point could you transfer them? Is it hard to do? Thanks!

very cool, your awsome

Very clear instructions. Thank you! Does anybody else do this: When circular knitting with interchangeable needles I have found that by using a small needle on the left side I can eliminate the struggle to get stitches up onto the needle from the cable. Since stitch size is formed on the right needle this works really well.

Nice

I've used this cast on for a few years now. I usually use a smaller needle because if I don't, the row picked up off the cord is kinda loose.

I didn't see what happened to the slip knot. You mentioned that eventually you slide it up the cord and onto a needle tip, but then what? Do you just drop it off the needle tip? I've never used a provisional CO, but I can see where it would be extremely useful. Even if you're knitting from the bottom up, it would be useful for adding decorative borders. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Ellen, I am looking forward to this. I found a beanie pattern and it calls for a provisional cast. Also, I wish you would do a video on how to do a provisional cast for the thumb portion of mittens and/or fingerless mitts. I've come across many patterns where the instructions call for a provisional cast on for the thumb and I simply do not know how to do this.

Hi Deb. You'll need to check out the other provisional CO video in this sweater series. I'm demonstrating with the underarm sts of the sweater, but the method could absolutely be used for the couple sts you CO after finishing the thumb gusset of a glove or mitten.

The Chilly Dog - I will definitely watch all of them. My biggest issue, I watch but have no idea how to apply the technique without seeing it done. I don’t know how to hold the stitches on the thumb then do the provisional cast on for the extra stitches. I do know how to add a couple with the backwards loop but I want to learn the other. It can be intimidating when trying to teach oneself. You have no idea how much I appreciate and value each of your tutorials. You are simply the best. At one point, you are knitting mittens or fingerless mitts and decide to demonstrate in a tutorial, I will be the first to watch and learn. Thanks again!!

@@debjewett7279 I think I may need to plan a mitten or glove pattern with tutorials in the fall. ❤

I’m just wondering what length of cable you might recommend for the working needle. I don’t want to deal with magic loop at the same time that the provisional stitches are being held on the spare cable. The pattern I will be using this method for has me cast on 105 stitches with DK yarn on size 6 needles. Thanks for the great tutorial. It really helps this visual learner who has no aptitude for using a crochet hook to create a provisional cast on.

@thechillydog

Great question! I recommend using a cable on the working needle that gives you a total length (needle tips included) that is about the same length as what you're casting on.

Thank you! Can you do a provisional cast on over a cable for knitting flat too? I have the hardest time picking up stitches on scrap yarn and would much prefer using a cable like this.

You sure can. I agree, it can be tricky getting those held scrap yarn stitches back on a needle and this could be easier to manipulate.

Thanks for this - it's great! I'd love to know where you got your little heart cord ends for the cord holding the provisional stitches. Very cute.

The heart stoppers are for addi needles and you can get them at most local yarn shops and I know they're also available from Makers' Mercantile online, www.makersmercantile.com/.

This. Ideo was fine but I'd like to see a provisional cast on in the round with an odd number of stitches to address the initial yarn over which left a gaping space when joined.

This style of provisional cast on works best with an even number of sts. If you cast on an odd number of sts onto your needles, you still end up with an even number of sts on your cord.

I have a harder time with this cast on over a large number of stitches. When I have over 50 stitches I use the Longtail provisional cast on with contrasting yarn. No mismounted stitches, but more patience to remove.

Combination knitting rules.

You said the slip knot does NOT count as a stitch but at 4:56 you counted it as a stitch. Am I missing something here?

@thechillydog

A pattern will tell you how many sts to cast on. You only count the stitches that are on the needle, not what's being held on the cord. So, if your pattern tells you to cast on 40 sts, you count the 40 sts that are on your needle and you would have an additional 39 sts plus the slip knot held on your cord. Hope that makes sense.

At the beginning, you said that "the slip stitch doesn't count". Yet when you join in the round you seem to knit the slip stitch. Can you explain that a little bit clearer please?

@thechillydog

As you begin, the slip knot is placed on the cord. When you count your CO stitches as you work you are only counting those that are on your needle.
