Knitting Machines for Beginners - Casting On, Casting Off, Closure Techniques

Hey friends! I wanted to make this beginner's guide to casting on and off along with our most commonly used finishing techniques. This is specific for circular knitting machines. We use both of these methods in several of our projects. Make sure to subscribe to our channel for new project videos! Also check out our active knitting machine FB group, Knitting Machine Queens.

So an easy way I've found to remove the waste yarn is put a single row of another yarn between the waste and the main yarn. That way you only have to pull out the one string of yarn and the waste separates in one piece

Thank you so much for making this video. It was so helpful!

[@trishamckendry347]

This is the most helpful and well done tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much!!!

[@angieandbritt]

You are so welcome. Glad I could help ❤️

[@jenniebugs1]

Your instructions are straight forward and to the point! Easy to follow! Some tutorials are harder to follow because the tutor also chats about the weather, their cat, how they are feeling etc.! Which is fine and friendly, but I want to LEARN comprehensively! I look forward to more tutorials and will keep subscribed.

Nice video big like friend

I cut though the waste yarn too, if you pull one of the last stitches of the waste yarn it will release it.

[@carolynbenton4694]

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing!

So to always find that bottom stitch of the waste yarn do one white or any different color yarn before you change to your main color. Then you can just pull it out I use white.

[@rebeccapeyton8037]

Love the video but question when using waste yarn and drop the yarn spin it off the machine do you ever have big holes I guess you call it on the main yarn but no stitches appear to have dropped .. tried to message you on Facebook but couldn’t find an option to

[@craftynana571]

Are you pulling through two loops or one. I just got the addi for Christmas and I can’t get the cast off. I am a crocheter.

[@adiaward3375]

good video thankyou

[@tracyshelton5599]

is there a way to do the purl stitch. i usually do purl on every other row... on each of my projects. especially blankets.. how can i do a purl stitch w/out dropping any stitches. and a hemmed brim vs... a curled brim

[@janesarraf5519]

Can this be done for a double layer please thanks

[@winningnumbers]

Could you please show this same method but for a flat panel. this is circular and you're closing it. ty

[@florencecox2022]

This is a TIP for you and your followers . SET UP YOUR PROJECT AS NORMAL WITH WASTE YARN. # NOW KNIT ONE ROW ONLY WITH CONTRAST CROCHET COTTON. (ONE ROW ONLY) # KNIT YOUR MAIN YARN FOR PROJECT. # NOW KNIT ONE ROW ONLY WITH CONTRAST CROCHET YARN. AND DO 6/8 rows WASTE YARN ( CONTRAST COLOUR) NOTE TAKE YOUR PROJECT OFF AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT ENDED OFF. ### JUST PULL OUT THE CROCHET COTTON, NOW YOU HAVE IT SEPERATED. YOU ALSO CAN WIND UP THE WASTE YARN, AND USE IT AGAIN. ALSO THE CROCHET COTTON FOR RE USE. DISCARD WHEN AND IF THE YARN RAVELS. ANOTHER TIP IF I MAY. WHEN I KNIT A PROJECT AS PER THIS METHOD. ##I HAVE MY PROJECT ON THE MACHINE I'D KNIT ONE ROW CONTRAST COTTON YARN. I WOULD LEAVE WASTE YARN OF 6/8 ROWS AND THE CROCHET COTTON ONE ROW FOR NEXT PROJECT. YOUR KNITTERS WILL UNDERSTAND ALL THIS ONCE THEY TRY IT OUT. IF YOU ARE A HAT KNITTER, YOU COULD DO A FEW AND SIT BACK AND FINISH OFF LATER. NOTE YOU WOULD HAVE 3 SEPERATE ROWS PF CROCHET COTTON. JUST PULL OUT THE CENTRE ONE TO DIVIDE YOUR PROJECT.!!! FROM AN 81 yr OLD CRAFTER. THANKS FOR TO DAYS TIPS.

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

Only problem is everyone doesn’t know how to crochet is there a way to do either one of these really both without crocheting

[@angieandbritt]

Unfortunately, to do the same method, you'd have to crochet. You would just have to learn the basics like single crochet and slip stitch. You can probably find a way to use your tail and needle to weave it in a certain way to give it a nice finish too.

[@angoraaurasknitting]

Ugh I cannot find a video that shows how to finish the edge if you’re not closing it or sewing it together.
