How to Knit An Invisible Join in the Round

[@1stcamarochick]

I learned how to do a (nearly invisible join the way Cindy Bice explained from the book circular knitting workshop but prefer this new way. The two stitches when swapping places even after tightening down looked a tad sloppy but when adding an extra st & passing it over it really was invisible! Thank you!!!.

[@majkazmaj]

This is such a great tutorial. I learned to knit from a book - so I am used to looking at picutres to learn how to do things and videos are very hard for me. You technique of Step 1, Step 2....really helps me. Thank you! Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!!

[@andrewstiller1662]

Wow! So simple and yet such a great technique. Thanks!

[@mrjsuland5132]

[@theaogrady4042]

I love this method above all the rest! Thanks for an incredible video.

[@Catra7]

I just found your channel today and am so happy I did! I knew there was a little trick to invisible joins and you've explained it perfectly! I'll be back for more tips, I'm sure!

[@lslack10]

Thank you so much for doing a great slow and well done video, it's so easy to follow when videos are done so well.

[@Knittyneeds]

You are an excellent Teacher. Soft voice and step by step easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for sharing and caring. Never too old to learn.

Thank you for ur easy-to-follow instructions!

[@SothernBelle67]

Thanks so much for sharing. My 9 yr old is huge into knitting and she found this very helpful!

[@loringsmith773]

A most useful technique, which provides a most welcome rescue from that perpetual gap at the starting point of circular knitting projects!

[@rikimartene1576]

This is a great vid- . Appreciate that u are very clear in your instructions. Do u happen to have a you tube on doing this with double pointed needles?. thanks

[@screamtoasigh9984]

@@rikimartene1576 no change, do the same thing

[@cathdonovan1027]

Well done. Very clear and specific step by step instructions, which I found very helpful.

[@yarnistco]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bevcar3648]

Thankyou for explaining twice, as it helped to retain your method.

[@sarahkent9953]

Brilliant video - so easy and clear to follow. Thanks so much

[@MeliTorres22]

That was so easy!!! So glad I was shown this video. I'll know what to do next time I'm working on the round. Thanks for all the great help!

[@RebelMaggie]

The best cast on I ever saw.I was always afraid to knot in the round but not anymore!

[@innerstrg1]

Thank you so much for this instruction. I bookmarked so I could refer to it every now and then. Much appreciated 🙏

[@KBrosh1986]

I took this idea an applied it to an alternating cast on with great success thanks for the advice much appreciated!

[@colleenrandal5466]

Great job of explaining. Wish I had seen this years ago. So much better!!!

[@Chibikins]

Thanks so much for this! I love your tutorials, they are very clear and easy to follow. I used this technique for the cowl I am working on and it is flawless!

[@laurarobinson9699]

a really good technique - THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@susanhallamado]

Thank you for such an awesome video. I have been knitting for 50 yrs (taught by my Gran) but I never knew this technique.

[@joannemoore5396]

This is the best demonstration of this I have ever seen! Thanjks!

[@pbot1959]

Splendid explanation! Thanks for breaking down the steps so clearly.

[@vic3467]

Such a great tutorial

[@suenicholls5446]

This works perfectly, the best I have found so far. Yes, very good for alternate cable cast on. Good stretchy edge for sock cuff.

[@tapcat4516]

never heard of this, will try next time. thanks!

[@angelaneal3171]

This also works for the magic loop method - just a little bit fiddly because of the magic loop but it works!!! Great videos - thank you so much.

[@caroline658]

Excelente explicación saludos desde chile..muy agradecida

[@MRSSYRUP]

Thanks for the video, will try this technique with my first knitting in the round project

[@fazzybear3]

Excellent video, clear and makes it so easy to do- thank you! Can this join be used with Magic Loop? If not, can you show us how to join Magic Loop in a similar way? Thank you.

[@fueledbyJesusandCoffee]

thank you, i've been having a hard time getting this technique, but this video helped me. thank you :)

[@yarnistco]

That's great Tifany! Glad we could help!

[@38sthelmacota42]

Excellent tutorial... it's a wonderful join. Thanks for sharing.

[@fanilia]

Thank you for the tutorial. Nice to be able to teach others even when you never meet them.

[@charlenespierer7914]

Great, clear instructions. Thank you so much!!!!

[@yarnistco]

Glad you liked it Charlene!

[@mmuggins9843]

Thanks for the invisible join👍

[@lovemrj4ever]

Clever, easy and --as Always, NSD-- clearly and concisely explained and demonstrated. Thanks much😄

[@mekastar6751]

Thanks so much!🙏Will this change the stitch count?

[@huggybeartrucks]

it shouldn't, because the extra stitch at the end of the row goes around the neck of the first stitch of the next row.....i'm trying to figure out if this is done every row??

[@canadianwriter]

Clear and concise. Thank you!

[@helenreidt3315]

Brilliant..and so simple. Thank you

[@yarnistco]

Glad you like it!

Thanks for sharing this technique!

Excellent technique, most excellent tutorial.

[@marlenebanks7011]

How knit with 2 magic needles?

[@crispappletart]

What a handy tip. I will try this soon. Thank you!

[@csnow3774]

Thank you so much for this... it has made the process clear to me. :)

[@suziofftheplanet977]

I simply knit the first stitch from the left needle with the 'tail 'and then continue to knit with the ball of wool. This ensures they don't separate. I then sew the tail in at the end.

[@jadedphoenixprojects]

What cast on technique are you using for this tutorial?

[@Kalgal2u]

He used a two strand (or long tail) technique for the cast on. There are lots of tutorials on youtube to see this. I have used it for years and like the thickness of the edge.

[@anitahufham]

How do both your tail and your working yarn end up on your right needle after casting on?

[@aliciaknitnbead]

I love your method! Thanks

[@cheryeng]

Can this technique be used on a cable cast-on? Seems to only work on long-tail cast-on.

[@diannewinkler4484]

Thank you. This works great and you demonstrate well !

[@maxinejones1519]

This is great! Thank you.☺️

[@sandelehfrancis9977]

And how do we weave in that tail at the beginning of the hat? It looks like the tail comes directly down from the knot that formed the join.

[@BM-zq9kz]

That was very good. Thank you so much. 🤗

[@aleentyrrell8767]

Very good lesson

[@pennyclark9079]

Fantastic thank you

[@shortcake180]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[@ldplus3]

I am wondering what do you do with your tail after completing these steps to keep it tight?. I tied it off with a square knot. what do you suggest? Thanks Love this trick and will be using it always now.. very helpful. It always has bugged me as to how to make it look straight and nice Very helpful!

[@whiskyyarn2234]

That’s a lovely join method but what do you do to start the next row?

[@yarnistco]

You just keep knitting.

[@dawnsnow5108]

Can you do this with any cast on?

[@ilenelehman6440]

If adding a marker, would you add it after step 5?

[@aquaphobicmermaid]

I do.

[@chtitmog]

Great tip! Thank you so much! 😀

[@xoxoCHRiiSTiiN3]

This video was very helpful. Thank you!

[@cindybice4550]

I understood what you are doing.I know it's not the same. I just can't see the extra step when you can just trade places, snug the ends and go on knitting and have it come out the same. I don't have as much time to knit as I would like and every minute counts. If you don't mind doing an extra step that doesn't have to be done, then what ever works for you. by the way, nice job on the video.It's better than a lot I have seen and it's nice to see a man knit.

[@Charrnii]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you need to join the round for every row??

[@yarnistco]

No just on the first row. You're taking it from being flat to being a loop. Once it's a loop you can just continue knitting.

[@huggybeartrucks]

thank you, this was my question too!!

[@yvettehobbs1063]

Does this method work with a two needle or 'knitted on' cast on as well as long tail?

[@aileenharkwood7798]

From the looks of this, this only works for the long-tail cast-on. When I cast on, I have a tail at one end of the circular needles and the working yarn at the other end of the circular needles. I've tried doing the long tail, but my fingers just don't work that way.

[@deedeebell4671]

love this technique - brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

[@spikemom2003]

I havedone a cable cast on where the cast on stitches are on the left hand needle and can't quite tighten up my stitches after joining them. Any advise?

[@kapusta555whatever]

Genius! Thank you for sharing this.

[@TD-gu4uq]

Can you show how to do this for magic loop?

[@rastreer]

T D hello..have u been able to know how to do with magicloop? do let me know plz..am searching but nothing

[@yvettehobbs1063]

Would this method help prevent the "jog" when knitting stripes with two different yarns or with a self-striping yarn?

[@AloisioSantosTricot]

Very nice trick! Ty

[@ThatDarlaGirl]

I am able to use this technique with DPNs, too.

[@michaela9023]

Is there anyway to fix the first stitch while weaving in the ends

[@mariangelatorresgarcia343]

Please, can you show how to do this for magic loop? Thank you.

[@jessenoelle262]

I had the same question: does this invisible join technique work the same for magic loop? Here's a link for the only vid I've found so far for the invisible join technique adapted for magic loop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHrQXpuir86AmsU

[@hampuss884]

I thank you so much for explaining this. Good, clear video! :)

[@nickysmith1663]

Does this only work with thumb cast on?.....I prefer cable cast on.

[@eringovoni5198]

does this also work for cable cast on?

[@nickysmith1663]

Will this work with cable cast on? Its the pulling of the two ends that wont work with cable,

[@monikalagasse516]

I have the same knitting needles

[@ginnylynn1]

Thank you, great explaination. Yeah it works :). I love all your videos. Keep up the good work :)

[@5d41k3]

Mind blown!

[@TheCatsReflection-me]

nice trick!

[@canterlevi]

It looks a bit fiddly, but I think I can do this! Thank you!

[@ThatDarlaGirl]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@xraymdabm]

Watching this method, it looks like the extra stitch you cast on that you will slip over is at the END of the cast on. How will this work if the cast on is done as an open-closed Estonian/Latvian cast on where the nature of the cast on creates a natural extra stitch at the BEGINNING of the cast on. How would this change anything about this technique for making an invisible join in the round?

[@liraaaak]

thank you, this saved my cowl!

[@loishale8010]

I must do something wrong, for I have the needles so close I can't move them to exchange the stitches.

[@loishale8010]

I have done this several times and every time my stitches are too tight and I've been using a crochet hook to take off one needle and slip over the other stitch. What am I doing wrong? Do i need to use a longer circular needle? What it is driving me crazy.

[@sunndoyouknow25]

so clever!

[@margaretmckay1369]

My pattern says Place provisionally CO sts on to spare circular needle. Next Rnd Work live sts together with Provisionslly CO sts by knitting two Tog (one live st tog with one provisionally CO st what is live and what is Provisionsl ????

[@eringovoni5198]

+Margaret Mckay did you start with regular cast on or a provisional cast on? the live stitches in any pattern refers to the ones you are currently knitting along with the pattern. The provisional cast on stitches are the ones being held on the spare cable needle or scrap yarn. I do think maybe you are using a pattern that is a bit to advanced for your knitting skill, or poorly written? I just recently used this technique for a hat but there were quite a few rounds knitted before I knitted the provisional and live stitches together, I used scrap yarn to hold my provisional and then put them on a circular later when i was ready to knit them. You may be reading the pattern incorrectly? It would be impossible to knit provisional stitches with live ones in your case. If the next round is knit them together you cannot, you have not made any live stitches yet....You have only made temporary cast on stitches, no part of your project has been knitted yet

[@marilynkeddy8561]

Where can I purchase this kit?

[@TD-gu4uq]

There is no "kit" to buy. He is showing how to do a cast on for circular knitting.

[@lindadegroot6216]

Thanks

[@yarnistco]

No problem!

[@NiennaLadyOfTears]

What do you mean by the original stitch. This is very confusing
