Learn 3 different methods for joining in the round for a circular project using a circular needle. And as a bonus, I've included my best tip for joining in the round for the Magic Loop method.
0:29 - Method 1: Basic cast on and join.
1:45 - Method 2: Cast on and decrease at the end of round.
3:15 - Method 3: Cast on and decrease at the beginning of round.
4:42 - Bonus: join in the round for Magic Loop without that annoying long joining thread.
To cast on a circular sample like I've worked in the purple yarn to test each method:
Using sport weight yarn and a US 5 / 3.75 mm needles in a 12" / 30 cm length, cast on 80 stitches (or 81 stitches for Methods 2 and 3).
To cast on a Magic Loop sample like I've worked in the blue yarn to test my method:
Using fingering weight yarn and a US 1.5 / 2.5 mm needles in a 32" / 80 cm length, cast on 46 stitches and divide evenly (23 sts per needle).
For more information on the Magic Loop method of casting on, check out my tutorial here: • How To: Magic Loop (1aat)

Such great ideas for joining! I love that third method with the almost bind off.

Thanks, Heather! It's so tidy, right? I go back and forth between all three methods depending on my mood. :)

Fantastic! The light shone at the second method where you end up doing the K2tog. My reaction was ''What do you know! I didn't know such a method existed!'' No more fiddling with the tips that hurt my fingers! Thank you, thank you. 😁

Thank you for the demo! I seem to mess up when trying to add the extra stitch then decrease so this was helpful. When doing magic loop your hack is genius! Thank you and I hope your puppy feels better soon.

Thank you so much, Lorrie! And thank you for the good wishes for Moo. It'll be a long road to recovery but he's such a trooper. He'll do great!

Thanks for the tutorial. You explain things very well. I have just learned how to use the Magic Loop in the round. I will use your clip tip on my next project.

Great tips! I also find it helpful to pull on the working yarn as I knit the second stitch of the round - this especially helpful for magic loop though I do like your hair clip idea.

Thanks, Deborah! And thanks for sharing about pulling the yarn snug on the second stitch. I've heard of this method but have not employed it myself so I'm glad to hear it's a good option, too!
