Elastic Cast On Knitting | Stretchy Cast On Knitting

[@donnaf-l5461]

Thank you for saving me! I'm an experienced knitter, but when I tried the Italian cast on, needing 84 stitches on small needles, it was a nightmare. This stretchy cast on was just what I needed.

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

thank you for your feedback!

[@luciarel8131]

Wow, thank you! Usually, I have to watch several videos for new techniques until I can find a video I can understand and follow along... but you explained and demonstrated so clearly. Thank you!

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

Glad it was helpful!🤗

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much. It was so good to watch such a clear demonstration with no unnecessary talking or music too. I wasted hours trying to learn a stretchy cast on last week and ended up giving up and using a long tail cast on on bigger needles. I'm halfway through the hat now but, will find some scrap yarn tomorrow so l can practice this. 😊

Thank you ❤️

Oh my goodness!!! I’ve just found my absolute favorite cast-on for socks! I’ve never seen this in the few years I’ve been knitting socks and it’s easy, doesn’t need a long tail (hate that guesswork), and looks fantastic in 1x1 rib. Thank you for this video. I’m going to share it to a few sock groups now.

Thank you!

This is by far my favorite cast on. No tail measuring. And i cannot tell exactly but it really looks like the cast on row ends up the same as if you had done german twisted cast on if not a slight variation. Love love love this.

You’re welcome 😊

Right on time upload!!! Thankkkk you... Getting ready to knit my first skirt

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

you are welcome and good luck with your first skirt :)

[@YukonAML]

Well this is absolutely wonderful, I've used it 3 times since discovering your video yesterday. Is there a matching cast off? I did Italian bind off but they dont match visually

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

I have not seen identical as a zigzag. On my channel you can find elastic bind off with yo before each stitch. Did you try it? Do you finish with ribbing as well?

[@zanna7494]

this works great thank you!!

[@StarryNightKnitting]

Hi Ann! : ). Yup, it did look difficult but I think with practice I will get it. (sure hope so) You mentioned good for knitters , like myself who tend to knit tight. Thank you for ALL your video/tutorials! Take care and all the best to all of you and yours! ~~~Jo

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

Hey Jo, happy to hear you. A bit of practice and you will manage how to do it. Hope you are doing well and healthy!

[@StarryNightKnitting]

Hi again, you are always so encouraging Ann! I left a long (typical me eh ;) message on another tutorial you did last night so I'll go now as I see you've made bunny ears that I want to check out! Hugs to you ~~~Jo

[@geekzgalore1]

Is this the same as Jenny's magic cast on?

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

I have heart only about Judy's cast on but it is not the same

[@geekzgalore1]

Oh yes I figured this. That one is for socks. I think I've seen this shared before, forgot the name

[@tess1089]

Love your❤ videos I’ve learned so much! Would you be inclined to create a video for a wrap around tie cropped sweater ? I would really love to make one and I think their an easy number e fit fir many thanks 🙏

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

Hi. Thank you! How does this wrap look?

[@donnaf-l5461]

One quick question: If I am knitting in the round, how does that affect slipping the first stitch? Do I just slip it on the first joined row around after I have cast on my stitches?

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

You do not need to slip it if only you are using invisible joining method where you cast on extra stitch to join in round.

Can you please show us a left handed one 🙏🏻♥️ if possible • please 🙏🏻

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

I am very bad with my left hand 😞

[@Monique-TheYarnCurator]

No worries • @@CrazyHandsKnitting 😘 i just tried my luck - ♥️ have a nice day

[@lvanomoly4072]

The first row of K1 P1, you knitted the front loop. The next row, yourknit was in the back loop. Why tge difference?

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]

Please knit as you usually knit. If you are doing it through the front loop, go on doing it after as well. I use continental way of knitting and grabbing the yarn a little bit differently, that is why after I knit through the back loops.

[@hydrangeakittystudio]

Your left hand movement is too fast! I still can’t get it yet but i am not going to give up! 😅

[@CrazyHandsKnitting]
