Wow! Great tutorial. Have not done that before and your directions were perfect! Thank you!,

[@irinarevo]

Thank you, Holly!!

[@barbaraaltman4527]

This is terrific! I already knew the Italian cast-on, and how to convert from 1x1 to 2x2 ribbing, but this video is the best I've seen for both those things. And thank you for the jogless connection instructions. I'm bookmarking this one! Note to beginning knitters: No need for a provisional cast-on, no need for a crochet hook, just use this method. This video is paced perfectly for beginners.

[@irinarevo]

Thank you so much, Barbara! :)

[@user-ml2sj3ui3r]

Hi, Irina! Thank you for this unique tutorial. It was exactly what I was looking for! Being a beginner myself I haven't fully understood whether you've cast on directly on the circular needles or used straight needles and transferred later on to join in the round. Thank you so much for this thorough presentation.

[@irinarevo]

I am very glad you like the video! I’ve cast on directly on a circular needle. If there aren’t too many stitches to cast on (like for a hat vs a bottom up sweater) you can use a straight needle for casting on. Switch to a circular needle for the first row (which is worked in the opposite direction), then join in the round at the beginning of the second row/round. :)

[@loristevens8303]

Best video so far for tubular cast on in the round, thank you!!! I'm going to go for it, but will ask: Is there anything I'll need to know to convert this to a 4 x 4, besides what might seem logical? Casting on: make 4 knit stitches and then 4 pearl?

[@irinarevo]

Thank you very much, Lori! You can convert this to a 3x3 without changing the look/integrity of the cast on edge - by swapping the other 2 stitches to get 3 and 3 (after the tubular part when I swap to get 2x2 you can swap the other 2 stitches to get 3x3). Casting on is still one knit and one purl alternating. For the 3x3 I would use a bigger needle after the tubular part. To convert it into the 4x4 you would have to swap 2 knit stitches with 2 purl stitches and it is too bulky and will distort the cast on edge. I hope this helps. :)

[@janeybeasley9525]

Thank you, very helpful

[@irinarevo]

My pleasure, Janey!

[@desireeyarber2808]

Wow! Excellent! I love your instructions. 🥰 I'm using your video to start a hat. I am so excited. Question: do you do this cast on using the size needle for ribbing? Would that be too tight? Or do you use the body size needle just for tubular cast on edge (and then finish knitting the ribbing in the needle size for ribbing)? I always do regular ribbing in one size smaller needle than the body of a hat. Thank you SO much!! 😘

[@irinarevo]

Thank you, Desiree! I usually use the same needle size for the c/o and ribbing. But I work snugly. Some knitters find it helpful to use a smaller size for c/o to avoid a c/o flare. If the body of your hat is in stockinette, I would use a bigger needle size than for a rib. Regarding: tight or not, the tubular c/o is tighter that the Italian c/o without the tubular rounds (I have a video on that on my channel as well). If you need a very stretchy edge (such as for socks or turtlenecks) - go without the tubular round.

[@leighabresch8143]

You're a marvel and such a great teacher! Love the way you hold your yarn and knit with the tips of your needles. How would you do the the jobless Italian tubular cast on and do a 3x3 rib? I understand you would cast on a number divisible by 3 but how do you sequence the interchange when you start the ribbing? Again, thank for such a well done instructional video!

[@irinarevo]

Thank you so much, Leigh! I hope the following makes sense: C/o a division of 6 (3 knit stitches plus 3 purl stitches). Cast on and the tubular are the same as in this video. For the 3x3 rib: Purl the first stitch. Slip the knit stitch from left to right, slip the following purl stitch from left to right, insert the left tip from right to left into both stitches together and slip them off the right tip returning onto the left tip (swap so that the p st is first on the left tip, the knit stitch is second on the left tip, knit st will be in front of the work and purl stitch will be behind the work) purl the purl st, knit the knit stitch Knit a regular knit stitch Like in the video (18:59 min): insert the right needle tip from left to right into both knit and purl stitches together, slip them off the left tip, return the purl stitch onto the left tip, knit the knit stitch, purl the purl stitch Purl a regular purl stitch Last stitch of the round - a single purl stitch Elimination of the jog is exactly the same as I do in this video. Basically, the only difference is how to swap the other two stitches. :)

[@dannil1061]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial! I’m trying this out but am having a lot of difficulty counting stitches as they become very twisted after reaching a certain number. I’m using a smaller gauge yarn that is quite springy so that didn’t help either. Are there any suggestions for this difficulty?

[@irinarevo]

Thank you, Danni! I would try: 1. Cast-on on a long straight needle - can prevent much of the twisting (the next row is in the opposite direction - you will then switch to a circular needle), 2. As you are casting on, place a thin marker after every 10 stitches - they look like very thin safety pins. Hope this will help.
