Master These 6 Essential Cast On Methods!

[@K4rmauh]

The thumb loop cast was the first one I learned, but it gave me lots of tension problems. It still works for mid row cast ons, but the edges are problematic. I tend to use the long tail cast on, but I didn't know the exact way to hold your yarn, so it looks a bot different for me. I wanted to learn a more stretchy cast on, so thank you for the concise video.

I love the way you explain everything and you make it so easy to learn . I am a beginner in knitting and crocheting so I can’t wait to start the projects with your patterns. Thank you for teaching us! Elena

Yes, thank you!! This has been so great! I knew the knit and long tail cast ons but had forgotten the cable. Now I've got a few more I can play with as well 😊❤ I'm feeling much more prepared for my next project!

Hi Brittany. Great video. All of these cast ons are good to know. 😊

I learned the simple cast-on (#3) a bit ago because I don’t like having to guess with the long tail cast-on (I learned that one first from your beginner project videos). One thing I like with the simple cast-on is the ability to do both knit and purl cast-on stitches. I know you can do that with the German cast-on too but I haven’t been brave enough to try that one yet 😆 can you do it with the other cast-on methods too?

I was taught the e loop cast on by my great grandma. I didn't know what it was called at the time.

Please consider showing these left handed!

Knitting is ambidextrous.

[@RobertFrost10]

​@Teacherstonack, that's true, but depending on what hand is your more dominant hand will depend on how you hold or work with the needles/yarn. Shooting a bow is also an inherently ambidextrous activity but still requires a slightly different teaching method between left hand and right hand dominant people.

I do the alternate cable cast on and it gives a lot of stretch. Specially for socks. You did not show it.
