How to Knit: Rib Cable Cast-On Method

[@debrabushie9664]

Perfect!! No problem. Not 15:00 min video!! Short and to the point. Thank you. You are a life saver

I've found that if you knit one more row and then continue to knit the ribbing that it has a nice rolled touch on the edge which looks very nice. I make the side that has the 2 knitted rows be the right side of the fabric. I used to have knitting machines and this is basically the same technique that I used on the machine. I just couldn't figure out how to do it when hand-knitting. Thank-you so very much! I love it!

This is the best and clearest cast on for rib that I have found. I hope you have other videos! Thank you elsteffo :)

[@crc532]

I will look for more of your videos. So clear and concise! Thanks and this will make a world of difference in my knitting. Much more professional looking too.

Thank you so much...I life saver you are. Until now I hated ribbing because it always looked so 'untidy' in the finished product. Now the item has a 'polished' look and feel...Kudos...:)

Wow, thank you! I know this is an old video but I'm very new at knitting, teaching myself and have been using the long-tail cast on because it's so very easy. I'm reading a pattern chart and took about an hour to figure out why I couldn't cable cast on... this helped me so very much thank you! 💕

[@dancinggiraffe]

Excellent instruction! If I hadn't done so much already, I'd redo my current project this way.

[@Debbie6780]

Ahhh much better than other videos I have watched trying to get the hang of this cast on. Even though you worked faster it is so much clearer and easier.

[@farbinjudder]

Thank you for a great and easy to understand tutorial. Plus I could listen to your voice all day, very soothing. :-)

This is an awesome cast on. I tried it and loved how it looks, but now i don't know how to cast off where it looks similar to this cast on. How do you cast off when you use this cast on method?

[@moonsyndra]

i enjoy your tutorials very much . compared to the others you explain things simply and use a good contrasing yarn for easy visablity i am just learing to knit and watched your vidios to learn the stiches and you made it easy and enjoyable :D keep em coming

[@kawaiichie]

loveee this one!!! but how would we cast off using this method :(

[@debraf7427]

Clear and concise! Brilliant!

[@KotoriOnWheels]

if doing a scarf, I would want the cast off end to look the same. Do you have a cast off technique that would accomplish this?

[@elsteffo]

Hi there, thanks for your question. I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll take a guess that you would like to know how to make the next row of knitting, which moves the stitches from the left-hand needle to the right-hand one. I have some videos about making the knit stitch and the purl stitch that you can have a look at for some more help. If you still don't find what you're looking for, then please write again and I'll do my best to help. Happy knitting!

[@astramasdemilady]

Great tutorial! Very usefull. Thanks to share.

[@Skizzet21]

I love your video but I have a request, can you show us how to do a p2 k2 cast on, pretty please?

[@sweetvioletstar]

This is different from the cable cast on right?The cable cast on is different than the rib cable cast on?Im a knitting beginner so just looking up and learning diff techniques.

[@cmetube1]

I know this was posted years ago, but, THANK YOU!!!

[@elsteffo]

Sure, most cast on methods will be fine for ribbing. The advantage of using this cast on method with ribbing is that the cast on edge is somewhat camouflaged.

[@ChocoboKyaa]

Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn how to knit this pattern =D

[@jmomma2003]

would this sort of cast-on, say on the edge of a scarf, prevent the work from curling onto/into itself???

[@kingm56]

do u have to cast on this way?

[@k70880]

Thanks, this is real clear.

[@scoobeski]

great lil vids...thanks for sharing! :)

[@dawnsnow5108]

How would you join in the round?

[@ellamarie2258]

absolutely Brilliant- thank you

[@kingm56]

i meant could u do start with a rib stich without casting on this way ty

[@wordonthestreet]

Could you use this same cast on for a double (K2,P2) rib?

[@kawaiichie]

@one2557 sorry to bother you but did you ever find out about the bind off method when using this cast on one :o lol

[@elsteffo]

Not at all! This is just one of the many cast on methods available. This particular cast on is used for the beginning of ribbed fabrics.

[@tm13tube]

Good to know!

[@Jaseymarie1016]

ur going way to fast on the second part

[@accy87]

this is so hard to follow. :(
