3 Ways to Do a Tubular Cast-On

In this video I cover three ways that you can do a 1 by 1 tubular cast-on: provisionally with a crochet hook and waste yarn, using a long-tail cast-on with waste yarn, and doing the long tail, Italian tubular cast-on that requires no extra materials. I will list the timestamps for each technique below:

After watching a bunch of demos I’m thrilled to have found a method - your first - that’s easy and works perfectly. This also-crocheter and continental knitter thanks you! 🤗

[@felixdiaz52]

I'm soooo elated that you have presented THREE ways to do the Tubular CO. It was kinda of a mystery to see people do the CO in different ways and call it different names and ALL seem to end up the same !!! You did a fantastic job in your presentation. I wish you had a short video on how to do the same on the round. Whenever you have time, please add a circular needle Tubular Cast-ON. Great JOB 👍

[@ErieliKnits]

Thank you! For in the round, you will start the exact same way (knitting flat) and then after it is set up, you will join to work in the round. This will leave a small gap that you can seam together with some extra yarn ☺️

[@diannealford-hz2ub]

I am so glad that I found the 3 ways to do a tubular cast on. I absolutely love the one using the crochet hook! Thanks so much and keep up the great tutorials!!!

[@terriotto7818]

Fabulous tutorial! Love the first one. Thank you for making it so clear.

[@forgetmenotjem1147]

looked at so many different tubular cast on video's trying to learn this technique thought that I was never going to learn it. Thank you so much for a very simple method. Happy days

[@wendyherron7391]

Love this cast on with crochet hook. So glad I found your tutorial, I was really struggling. Thank you!

[@lindacarmichael21]

I was trying to do the last one and could not get it I used the crochet method and found it so much better thanks so much.

[@Ursaminor31]

The second one is my go to. I have messed the last one up so many times it outweighs its success. Waste yarn hold the edge beautifully and I leave it in till the last moment

[@et1016]

Excellent video!!

[@sohcahtoa8960]

Thank you so much! Your explanation is the first one that I could follow (not without a lot of repeats however!). I prefer the crochet hook method. I could do the Italian tubular however I could not get past that the stitches will unravel so easy especially when you get to the last stitch. Oh, and it is so fun to pull the yarn and watch it magically come free with the crochet hook method! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a patient and understandable way!

[@camilledavis7088]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow and well explained tutorial!! I can finally master this cast-on thanks to you.

[@karenbochinski]

This is beyond wonderful.

[@raine51]

Thank You! This really helped me! I've been watching ALL the other videos and I have to say, your instructions are clear and easy to understand. I finally got a neat tubular cast on on my needles! Now for in the round.....

[@ErieliKnits]

This is such a kind compliment! I am so happy to have helped! Also, when I do a tubular cast on in the round, I start it as I would a flat tubular cast on, finish the setup and then join to work in the round. I just seam the little gap with my tail.

@@ErieliKnits Thank You for that answer!! Finally I know how I will do that😍

[@likhang_nedwards]

I wanted to make a hat for my husband and I almost gave up cause I could not understand how to do it and I had magic loop to learn too. Thanks for showing three ways! I feel more encouraged!

[@dhanaazm7897]

You are truly amazing. Thank you so much. Labour of love indeed. ❤

[@aliciar.matthews2457]

Thanks for the non crochet hook tutorial! It worked perfectly❤

[@angryhistoryguy5657]

The waste yarn cast-on for the first method can be done without a crochet hook. It's called a knitted cast-on, and it's a favourite of mine.

[@Koko12714]

I think if you do a knitted provisional cast on you will have to cut or pick it out. I dont think it unzips like the crochet cast on.

[@michaelboggs2969]

Thank you very much! Will use the crochet way now.

[@Jane_Ricciardi]

Very nice tutorial! Many thanks!

Thanks for this!.. What if you are about to do ribbing. Does the ribbing work with these techniques??

[@patsydf]

Which is the stretchiest method? I knit socks and gloves and find so far that tubular cast on is not as stretchy as some long tail cast on methods, I love the look of it though.

[@Vildmis]

Thank you! 😁 Do you have a video if you wna do a 2x2 ? 😊

[@rebalspirit]

I'm very confused about the slip purlwise/knit rows rows of all three of these methods. I'm using the crochet cast on method. After doing the yo knit row, when I do the slip purl wise knit, the bring the yarn forward acts like a yarn over and I'm increasing my stitch count. What am I not understanding about this? If I slip the stitch purlwise without bringing the yarn forward, I am not creating a yo that increases the stitch count. I don't see you creating a yo when you bring the yarn forward. Why am I? This doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your help.

[@Kohl1D4Life]

When you move the yarn forward/back, you have to be careful to bring it under the point of your needle and not over. I've made mistakes when I was first learning, where I forgot to bring my yarn back to the back of my work before doing my next knit stitch, and it resulted in a yarn over because of the way I brought the yarn where it needed to be for the stitch *after* inserting the needle through the stitch😅

[@chrissyb2721]

So, does this result in a p1k1 rather than I k1p1? Or when you join in the round does it become k1p1?

[@Mary-zh7xz]

How do you do a 2by 1 or a 2x2 rib?

[@hurrayic]

Helpful! Question - with the first method - you mentioned wrapping yarn counter-clockwise which you did for the first 2 stitches but then I noticed you wrapped it clockwise for the remainder of stitches. Will this matter?

[@ErieliKnits]

Good catch! Clockwise is correct, but when I made the sample it still did what it needed to do even with switching part way through

[@LittleMissKnitss]

Hi! Should the crochet hook be the same size as the knitting needles??

[@ErieliKnits]

That would be good, but not necessary 😊

[@dianescardace3687]

Yes

[@dianescardace3687]

Yes

[@joandewolfe5949]

U NEED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN U R DEMONSTRATING!

[@magsinca]

I had a similar feeling, especially when trying to mirror her movements. KZbin has a function to slow and speed up the play. The downside is the audio becomes distorted, as well. So maybe turn off the audio during this time as you focus on mirroring movements. I find it helpful to note the time stamps (or whatever they’re called) of the key parts I want to watch over and over. That way, I can zip right to the spot. Good luck and happy knitting!

[@debbiedegayner3312]

Way too fast gor me

[@Bluepaintrider]

I gave up. For a beginner, the cast on was too fast.

[@janecheesehead3178]

you can slow the video down by going to settings at the bottom of the video and then playback speed and choose .75 or .5

[@patsydf]

Go to settings and alter the playback speed, I do it all the time for knitting tutorials

[@ClareW23]

There are plenty of beginner videos on You Tube. Come back to 3 different tubular cast ons when you're ready and you'll be thankful the video isn't longer but can be slowed down by your settings. Nothing wrong with this video.

[@TravellingTorunn]

Great explanations. I have done the first one several times but I never knew about the other two. Thank you 😊
