How to join stitches after casting on on double pointed needles

[@leavesongrass]

I’ve watched several videos on joining and yours is the clearest! Both in words and in camera angles! Thank you!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kensilvestri9900]

Clearly explained and performed. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great to hear! 😊

[@beatrixmoersch5508]

Thank you! This was the technique I was looking for. I had to watch five videos to find this one! Thanks very much :).

what i like of her video is short running time with essential information

[@pinwheelgrl9304]

I had totally given up double pointed needles because of the gap. No matter how tight I knitted or adjusted the tension the gap would not go away, was so frustrated. This gives me courage to try a dpn pattern again.

[@TuulaMaaria]

Great, this definitely helps. Another way that many use is switching the first and last stitch of the cast-on stitches but I find this was easier and use always.

Such a clear explanation! Thank you so much💙

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you, glad to hear it is clear!

Thank you, thank you for this video! I am beginning my first pair of socks using DPNs for the first time, and I was flummoxed on how to join the round. I followed your video yesterday, and now have 1 inch of ribbing done!!! Yeah!!!!

[@TuulaMaaria]

I'm so glad to hear that the video was useful! Enjoy knitting your socks 😊

Thanks for your video. My mum used to knit all my dad's socks. I'd decided to knit myself some leg warmers, but realised after buying some, that I hadn't got a clue how to cast on with double ended needles & mum's no longer here, for me to ask her.

[@TuulaMaaria]

Happy knitting, hope you get the leg warmers done! 💗

[@lindadoughty9252]

@@TuulaMaaria Thanks, I'm on the first leg.

[@sarag1158]

I could not wrap my mind around how I was going to cast on this stupid hat. Thank you so much!

[@alessiacucit2948]

Hi, do I have to join every row I make or just the first? (with dpns obviously)

[@TuulaMaaria]

Just the first one, when you are castingon. To avoid creating a gap that would then show for many rows.

[@alessiacucit2948]

@@TuulaMaaria thank you! 😃

[@corinewilson2643]

When knitting socks on a double pointed needles should I join at each round 🤔

[@TuulaMaaria]

No, just the first round after casting on the stitches.

[@leavesongrass]

So after joining you count that first stitch as already worked and as a purl stitch. Is that correct?

[@TuulaMaaria]

Yes, the stitch that you joined together (decreased) counts as the first stitch. I normally do it as a knit stitch as I have on the video but it could also be a purl stitch if you prefer to start with purls.
