[@pattymullin8515]

This is an excellent video on how to do a drawstring cast on. Love your videos - you speak calmly and clearly giving concise instructions and explanations.. You also go at a nice speed so I can actually see what you are doing. Thanks very much.

I did your roll free edge for a hat and it was beautiful. Sent it to my son for his birthday! Loved it and thank you so much.

[@Lilgtsvee]

So glad I found this. It may be a solution to a design I was trying to create

[@WhippetLuvs]

This is the best video on casting on that I have seen. Thank you

@HSULTZ1 I will have a pattern soon for a full afghan but I made it on the DA looms infinity II loom. It is an S shaped loom for single knitting in regular gauge with 160 pegs so it knits it all in one peice at a time. You could do it on a few panels at a time.

I am so buying a loom I kept on looking at them but never bought one. I found you from the mike crochet vids. But just watching makes me think that I can learn out to do this. Thank you

[@clrbv]

Thanks once again a great tutorial and love that you explain why we do the steps --never thought of reverse hat design--

[@fayearv]

Just beautiful!! Thank you so much, I'm always looking for loom knitting tips. I can't wait to make a hat with the Picot Bind off and drawstring cast on!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@cherrypizza sure, you can use it for that!

[@lnvryan]

I will use this for knitting Easter eggs! Thanks so much for your great videos.

[@starfire8221]

Thank you for such a clear and understandable video! Great job.

[@maryblueyes41]

I LOVE THIS....I have often wished the hats could be done in reverse so I could do something different for the end....Thank you...and BTW very funny but not a bad idea about the dream catcher...ha ha might try something like that...Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[@SilentRunnerIAm]

Thank you! Now I can make Denice's flowers using this!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@pinklace0304 wonderful! How is it going looming now? Have you gotten any to try out?

[@femaleKCRoyalsFan]

I am going to try this AGAIN...i hadn't been able to get it right...but I am going to try again

[@ilovstodance]

you gals are amazing stuff on these looms wow I sure I'm not that smart thks for sharing

After a few months of making hats and flat panels suddenly realized I couldn't remember how to do the drawstring cast on I need for making more "multi-ethnic breast analogs" for a lactation educator who has requested them. A couple minutes of this video and I'm all set to go again!

[@loreleisunnshine1756]

I love to do this cast on so I can have a nicer brim on my hats, but I can never get it right enough when closing and I always have a big hole at the top of my hat. When I do the more traditional bottom-up style knit hats I do the bind off where you skip every other peg and it gives you the nice double layer spiral type of top. Is there any way to achieve that with a draw string cast on variation? It seems like I can either have a cute top or cute bottom, never both lol

[@Tamu007]

You make it so easy! Thanks.

[@kikiseven06]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS :)

[@maskolum]

This was a great video

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@maryblueyes41 LOL Thanks Mary!

[@berrygirl201]

i love your youtube channel

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@labedaelaine That's wonderful!!

[@cherrypizza]

Can this only be used if the drawstring is going to completely 'close up' the knitting? I'm wondering if I can use this cast on to make a slouchy hat on a larger loom (e.g. using the Knifty Knitter yellow loom for an adult-sized hat).

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@clrbv Thanks Claire!

[@GoodKnitKisses]

@ilovstodance aww shucks!

[@beyoudee687]

So i can make a huge circle?

[@sarahbarton4977]

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Thanks so much!

Is there a printout of this video?How to Drawstring Cast on a round loom Loom Knit

How to cast off onde the hat is done?

[@GoodKnitKisses]

If you are making a hat, using the method in this video to drawstring cast on, then your bind-off (cast-off) will need to you the basic bind off (or flat bind-off) method OR the stretchy bind-off method. Make sure if using the basic bind off, use a loose e-wrap when knitting the stitches. This way it won't be so tight. If you are a super tight knitter the stretchy method may work better for you. Both are found on my channel.

[@RATTE1606]

awesome :) ..... big thanks !!!

[@pamsullivan6380]

After your first round of weaving in and out of pegs you end up with empty pegs. But you don’t show wat you do for that part.

[@GoodKnitKisses]

Yes at minute 00:03:00 you then flat knit over the pegs with loops and just hold the yarn in front of the pegs that had been empty. After 1 round the cast on is complete. The next round you would work all stitches on all pegs as normal.
