Invisible Cast On for Double Knitting

[@savannagal1]

Thank you so much for this very well done, easy to understand, hear and see video. It appears to be the only one showing this technique. I'm so glad you posted it. I would have never figured it out without seeing it up close. Thanks again!

[@Zalma4Maja]

I love your VDO. The right speed for a beginner like me. Thank you very much !!!!

[@stormecenter]

This is great! used it for a great scarf lace yarn silvery on one side and blue on the other really nice and warm!! thanks so much. only did straight double knit stockenette stitch but looks like knit on both sides. I did break down and bought a ring holder to fit on my left index finger (continental style knitter) this helped it go a lot faster and fun.

[@514dandy]

I literally cracked up when you described it as a "death grip" LOL! Seriously, I have a terrible habit of doing that! Thanks for this awesome video!

[@lesmessbucilova2732]

Great Video, Thank you for sharing this. Wonderful help. I wish I could see it in continental but I think if I sit and practice with the video a few times on scrap yarn I'll see how the position of the needles and yarn will be when I knit

[@brendazielke372]

Thank you for such awesome instructions (all three) regarding double knitting. Best ever!!

[@CleverEwe]

Thank you for making this video. It helps me very much. Have a great day.

[@lissaplus3]

June Bonfield Thank you for your kind words! Im glad you liked the video!

Can this cast-on be used when knitting in the round?

[@helenc8055]

you say at 3:38 to turn it over again but you didn't - you're holding the locked in yarn with your index finger - watch the red / blue. so purl bumps are facing up when we start to knit? I can't get this to work and wondering if that's it

[@lissaplus3]

I did turn it over. Check it out again.

[@TheLoneWanderersBunker]

You made that so much easier than breaking and adding yarn. Could double knitting work in fair isle?

[@unefleuranewcastle6294]

Lovely video, thanks for sharing ! May I just ask about the typically worked together first and last stitches of any row in the double knitting technique? You don't seem to do them in here but your swatch still looks closed at the edges, how do you manage to get that result? Thanks in advance !

[@sandiereader]

Great tutorial. Thank you

[@tishwestman9765]

I really like this video and the technique to have only one color showing on each side. My question is ... How do you treat first and last stitches of each row so you only see one color on the edges as well?

[@ishikabanerjee6586]

Very nice and easy way.thanks a lot.

[@gratedahne]

Have you tried to make a double knitted infinity scarf where you are grafting the cast on and the last row?

[@ginnys9937]

How do you incorporate the typical last and first stitch that are knitted with the two colors together? Are they not necessary here? It seems to me that the two sides would not be connected between rows...

[@Wegedoorn]

I seem to have lost a stitch while trying to bring them onto one needle. How do I fix that?

[@ivonnemelendez6837]

Hey!!!! I love your explanation! How would you do it with only one color ?

[@lissaplus3]

This is just a 2 color variation of this cast on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZnFiYChrrybbrM

[@susanf0514]

Thanks for sharing, I really want to try this now.

[@bellcndle7691]

I seem to get stuck on locking the yarn in the purl side, also having issues when it comes to purling reverse. some of the purls are not all closed on needle.

[@mimaberry]

+bell cndle I'm having the same issues. I can't seem to have it look the same as the video,

[@ericeandco]

Thanks for the video. I found it very helpful.

[@MrsAChery]

I wonder if this could be used to knit a sock!! Hmmm....Maybe and Afterthought everything sock? I could make a two colored sock (front and back or down the middle)!!???

[@lissaplus3]

AR Chery this is the cast on I use for socks

[@MrsAChery]

lissaplus3 cool!! Wow. You have me thinking ma'am!

[@nomadine85]

2:13 start

[@definatlydifferent]

Can this apply for dk in the round?

[@kimmikreations]

Ooo I really want to try this =) it looks really nice

[@kitaro320]

Do you have a video showing this for Magic Loop?

[@liamberney8328]

I am having the same trouble as kipsnow. Doesn't help that I am also a leftie knitter. I get the correct look when I use the one color (Judy's MCO/Doesn't matter), but Oh, well. Moving on, and thanks for the video!

[@suecat111]

Aha... Liam & klpsnow, after having the same problem myself, I believe I know what I missed doing: After casting on, you must turn your work upside down before knitting the first row. Ta da! In that part of the vid, she is both "locking in the st" and turning work upside down before beginning to knit.

[@krystinasnyder7760]

+suecat111 Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!! I was getting so frustrated lol. I knew I was doing something wrong I just didn't know what it was :)

[@lissaplus3]

+suecat111 AAHHH Yes!! 2:40 to 3:40 in the video! I couldnt come up with how to help. Thanks for helping these folks!!

[@suecat111]

+Krystina Snyder +lissaplus3 Glad I could help! :)

[@mimaberry]

I have a pattern that says to cast on 77 sts. How many cast-ons do I make?

[@lissaplus3]

+Teresa Berry You will need to cast on 77 stitches.

[@mimaberry]

Can this cast on work with an odd number of stitches?

[@mimaberry]

This is the pattern I want to make from double knitting. Scandi Snowflake Hat © 2010 Judy Lamb View my other knitting patterns HERE. Rolled Hem Version Picot Hem Version Size: To fit a 21" head. Gauge:" 3-1/2 sts/inch Materials: Size 10 knitting needles; Caron Simply Soft yarn - one skein White, and one skein Berry Blue. Directions: Holding two strands of yarn together (using one strand from the middle of the skein, and one strand from the outside) throughout pattern, Cast on 77 sts. Work 4 rows stockinette stitch. Change to blue yarn, and work two more rows (also using two strands of yarn). Next Row: K2, (yo, k2 tog) across. Purl next row. Work 4 more rows st st in blue. Attach White yarn and follow chart below. (the diamond chart is not a complete repeat at the ends of right side rows, so pay attention when working the wrong side rows. The Bracket A marks the repeat section for the snowflake pattern only) When chart is finished, you should be ready to work a wrong side row. Next row: (P2, p2 tog) across row. Next row: [K1(white), k1(blue)] across. Next row: P2tog-b across row. End p1. Next row: k2 tog across. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail (long enough to sew seam of hat). Thread this tail through rem sts, and pull tight. Secure. Then sew center back seam. For Rolled Hem, leave as is. Hem will roll up. For Picot Hem, fold along 'yo' row and sew hem in place.

[@lissaplus3]

lol What would it include?

[@mimaberry]

Please can someone help me. I'm having issues with the first purl stitch done after cast on. I'm having trouble with the purl stitch not locking in.

[@lissaplus3]

+Teresa Berry Did you leave the purl yarn to the back and knit the first stitch with the knit yarn and then bring the purl yarn to the back?

[@junebonfield804]

I found this to be enlightening and so useful. Well done. BTW I never noticed "dirty fingernails" I was watching the knitting instruction. However, out of curiosity I wondered how bad this was since some one made a comment about it---on viewing the excellent video once again....I will say I still don't have a complaint about anything!!!! The complainer needs therapy.

[@rahafzetoon2373]

thank uuuu sooooo muuuuuuuch 😍😍😍

[@zahidamazhar2695]

how can I knit 2p stich or 2knit stich in condo knitting

[@lissaplus3]

I wonder whats going on? Can you give me more details?

[@yliberal6355]

There is no link to judys magic co.

[@RE2LeonS]

Ugh, this is driving me nuts. I tried it w/ two different weights and it keeps getting more and more loose when I pull them off

[@lynda.prucha1288]

Execelent video

[@BJ051996]

I like this invisible caston ... But your fingers (smile) are moving to fast for me... To catch on how u r doing it

[@frozenrogue8970]

You didn’t show how to cast on?

[@HundredFrogsOne]

It took a few tries, but between this video and the "Judy's Magic CO" video, I was finally able to do it. And if a clumsy oaf like me can get it, anyone can!

[@mugginsquilts]

You should really write a book!

[@AngelaBatesFiberFanatic]

I can't tell how you are putting the stitches on the needles, you go a bit fast for me to see. Otherwise a great video

[@snowfleas5426]

You can adjust the speed of the video by clicking on the little cog at the bottom of the screen. It looks like a sun with six bumps. I hope this helps you.

[@kelseycrank150]

Needs to explain in more detail. Don't just show me explain as well. Some terms were just thrown around; please keep in mind that not everyone watching has as much experience knitting and may not be as familiar with some aspects as you are. Otherwise I liked the video, I just had a hard time with some concepts.

[@lissaplus3]

Im sorry, you have reached a knitting tutorial by mistake. You should make sure you include "fingernails" in your search next time.

[@vrto3961]

You're purling through the back loop, right?

[@BlueCoffeeDK]

didn't get any help from this what-so-ever.!

[@LianeChang]

this is not enlightening. it's confusing.

[@helenc8055]

what she says doesn't match what she does :(

[@lissaplus3]

Im sorry you didnt get out of my video what you came here to get!! Best wishes for you finding your desired tutorial.
