5 Easy ways to cast on without long tail | Knitting tutorial

[@lyndayes]

Very helpful! Just what I needed as I get ready to cast on 300 stitches for a shawl. I have a hard time measuring a longtail for that many stitches, and these are some great alternatives.

[@VitaCrafts]

I'm glad it was helpful 😊

This was such a calming video to watch after a stressful day at work, the clock softly ticking in the background is wonderful. Thank you for doing this for us. I subscribed right away. ♥️

[@VitaCrafts]

Ooowww, thank you for lovely words. 🙏😘

Thank you! This is awesome. I am a beginner knitter at 81. Thank you, also, for your clean fingernails!

[@VitaCrafts]

🤣🤣🤣 you are very welcome

We are never to old to learn--i will be 83 next month! I do find that my arthritis interferes with some instructions for tensioning, but I find my own manageble ways. The best to you!

Magnificent, knitting technique are much easier than 50 plus years ago. Thank you so much for the different choices to cast on.🥰😘🌺🌹💐🙋🏽‍♀️thank you so much for all that you do😂

[@sharoncombs58]

Your voice is soothing; as a beginner, I find that this is very important! So many knitting videos are abrasive, with "cute" comments throughout. I also appreciate your content, you are a good instructor. I liked and subscribed!

[@VitaCrafts]

Thank you so much for kind words and support of my work 🤗🧶❤️

[@ollymounara605]

I just tried the one with chains on the edge and found an easier way to do that. Just crochet with a bigger size hook or even your fingers a chain and put the back bump on the needles in the same direction.

[@VitaCrafts]

Yes, I use crochet hooks a lot and you're right, they are very useful. But not everyone have them.

[@dobycorder3206]

Have done several knitted projects and have learned so many different cast ons.! Thank you! I love not doing long tail for huge starting stitches. Great collection! Next time do larger needle if possible😊.

This is so relaxing.

[@1AngelEyes912]

Thank you very much for all the various methods 🌹🙏

[@VitaCrafts]

You are very welcome

[@iamllux]

Thank you. This video is clear and makes casting on as simple as it should be. The last method works best for me and is very fast.

[@p.d.2790]

I love this video. Thank you for making it and I will be watching more of your videos. You are wonderful!

[@VitaCrafts]

Oh, thank you so much. I'll see if I do more videos 😊

[@annthompson3246]

I love this x

[@woolfa]

Thank you so much! I was startimg a shawl from the book, but couldn’t figure out the cast on method from the photos. Finally your video is what was needed (3rd method) 💕👏

[@VitaCrafts]

Hi, I'm happy it was helpful. Good luck with your project 😊

[@suesharp7677]

Thankyou for doing this and helping others to create masterpieces in the future

[@asuncionpadilla9052]

Thanks for sharing this. I wish your next video is about measurement and calculating number of stitches needed when not using any pattern. I enjoyed watching your program.

[@VitaCrafts]

Check video about swatching

[@juanitarandall4181]

Thank you for sharing these cast on methods with us. There's only one that works for me, some may call it the lazy cast on but it is the one that I can do successfully and faster.than any of the other ways shone to me. In time, I may get the hang of the other ways. I'm just getting the hang of recognizing which stitch is which and what to do when I encounter said stitch. How to catch and fix a dropped stitch. Number 3 demo, is what I know best.💖💖💖

[@daleodberg6714]

Very interesting, thank you.

[@cruisepaige]

Seriously nice video!

[@VitaCrafts]

Thank you 😊🧶❤️

[@321bbr0wn]

Thank you soooo much! Very helpful

[@VitaCrafts]

You are very welcome ☺️

[@jody1622]

Thank you. I wish you had indicated the relative stretchiness of each method.

[@lillian7035]

Stitch #1-knitted cast-on, stitch #2-cable cast-on=not stretchy at all, very firm. Stitch #3- Backwards loop cast-on or E cast-on=stretchier than 1 and 2 but very loose and unstable. Stitch #4-Provisional cast-on=not stretchy if used as is. Stitch #5 is an unusual combo of #1 and #3-moderately stretchy.

[@JuliettePepperell]

Very helpful 👍🏼 Do you have the names for what all five cast-ons are called?

[@VitaCrafts]

I’m afraid I just don’t know names, sorry for that 🙄🧶♥️

[@iamhelgen]

Какая интересная подборка!

[@katieprock4423]

what is the fifth technique (purple yarn in example) called? in case I need to quickly look it up again? Thank you!

[@VitaCrafts]

@@katieprock4423 Don't know it in English, we call it knots edge 🤗🧶❤️

[@imbornwhitehot]

So the one cast on done in the light blue yarn is a different version of the provisional cast on? Is that correct?

[@VitaCrafts]

Just saw couple videos about provisional cast on, it's many different of them, no one is like this blue one, maybe more like a grey, which you can do with help of crochet hook.

[@RuthKuehny]

Thank ya

[@VitaCrafts]

@@RuthKuehny You are very welcome 🧶🤗❤️

[@CathyCollazo-v1s]

Thank you.

[@pi2nuna219]

So knitting tbl, is this done the entire project?

[@VitaCrafts]

Sorry, didn’t understand your question 🤔

[@KimCovey-x9t]

I appreciate that you show the 5 different types of casting on but for us beginners to knitting you need to slow down and for the 2nd technique you do not show/explain how to wrap the yarn around your finger that is pulled through. Thank you all your techniques are helpful

[@sandracioffi4973]

Where did you get those needles?😂

[@VitaCrafts]

@@sandracioffi4973 😂 I explained already, I disconnected cables from circular ones to don’t make that terrible noise when hit on a table 😉

[@barbarasd1196]

are there any pros and cons of these various cast ons? Also, I read that by purling the first row it will look the same as the cast off row. Any truth to that?

[@VitaCrafts]

Re pros and cons it's all about trying and see if it's good or not for your particular project. Don't think that second part is true 😊.

[@aolster3198]

Your demonstration is very clear. It would be more useful if you included the names of these cast-ons. I think the first is knitted CO, and second is cable CO. (You could add the names in the description panel, to avoid re-editing.)

[@VitaCrafts]

I didn't found specific names for every one of them, will see again. Thank you for feedback 🙂

[@mmchealy]

Your needles are too small to demonstrate in my opinion, but otherwise informational

[@VitaCrafts]

Yes, you're right 😆, it just tips of my interchangeable knit pro needles. When I connect them with cable, it hits on table and makes lots of annoying noises. That's why I just disconnect them. Happy it was useful for you anyway ☺️ and thank you for feedback

[@zmaryellen]

Goodness!! Use larger needles to teach! I can't see what you are doing because it's so cramped.

[@VitaCrafts]

Thank you for advice, I’ll definitely will consider it for future videos. 🙏🧶❤️

[@RebelMaggie]

No thanks not for me

[@cherylelinsmith743]

Take forever to cast on that way, sorry. I cast on the way my mom taught me with long tail knitted in
