Joining in the round by adding an extra stitch

Knitting: In this video, I demonstrate how to join in the round by casting on an extra stitch to secure the join. This prevents the extra long space that develops between the first and last stitch.

A good, clear, informative video. Thanks!

Neat trick. I’ll have to try it sometime. I’ve significantly improved the tension issues that happen in that join, but that little gap does sometimes occur, especially when I’m using slippery yarn. Thanks for the tip!

Excellent presentation. I understood everything that you said and did. Thank You!!

Here's my tip.....I like to place my main marker between the second-to-the-last stitch and the last stitch. It still tells me I'm at the end of my round but the marker won't fall off the needle because it's blocked by the last st. Thanks for your video.

Looks like it would be a lot easier to use wooden needles instead of those slippery metal ones. At least for the videos.

I found that when you put the stitch marker on after you knit and slip you actually have the marker one stitch off.

“Rounds. NOT rows.

Taking your time in getting to the point makes me lose interest, also using dark yarn doesn’t help.
