Knitting tutorial: Pinhole or Disappearing Loop Cast On for Musselburgh hat - the EASY WAY!

[@lauralunetta4100]

Honestly, this is the absolute best and easiest version of the disappearing loop cast on. Excellent video, don’t get frustrated by watching anything else! Well done!

[@mostlyknitting]

Aw! Thank you so much Laura. I am so glad you found the video helpful. :)

[@Yesim730]

So the. I felt the same.

[@KnottyDeer]

This essentially looks like doing a magic ring in crochet when working in the round! 😮 it makes so much sense! Thanks!

[@mostlyknitting]

That's so cool for me to know. I dont do a lot of crochet so it is helpful for me to understand when the two intersect and something that may seem "new" to me in crochet is actually something i have done before in knitting. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a helpful comment. :)

[@ArpiRhodes-wo1uf]

That’s exactly like the crochet…actually, I use the crochet hook and start it as if it’s the Tunisian crochet and I just transfer it to circular needles!

[@kristiereed1403]

It’s a single crochet around a magic loop, using a knitting needle.

[@jenniferhaight1077]

This was one of those A-ha moments where I finally get it. Thank you!!

[@mostlyknitting]

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful. :)

[@myndolin]

Like OP have said, I tried watching another creator's video and following written instructions, and your tutorial was just the ticket. It's so much about the holding of the stitches while you manipulate the yarn. Also, I know other knitters do the crochet magic ring to start and then transfer to their knitting needles to accomplish the same thing. I prefer to learn how to do it this way, but as a lifelong crocheter who learned knitting as an adult, I think that could be very helpful for others who have the same background. Love your videos!

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and also recognizing that there are other good methods that might work better for others. 😀

[@nancygillarddoran7213]

Thank you for this! I just found it after trying to cast on with help from 4 or 5 other tutorials, including Ysolda's. This is by far the best. Thank you so much!!!

I’ve watched a LOT of videos on how to do the pinhole cast on, and this is by far the best one. Thank you for demonstrating what I think is the simplest way to do this cast-on…no crochet hook, no reorienting stitches, and heaven forbid no DPNs flopping around with only 8 stitches on them!

Outstanding video! I now have started my first Musselburgh hat for my granddaughter's boyfriend for Christmas. I have been watching your videos for the last 6-8 months and I love them all! Now I use your tutorials. They. are great! You must be a math whiz! For short rows which I fear greatly, you whip out the math so smoothly. I just can't get up the bravery to work short rows! I really do want to learn them though! It would open up a lot of knitting projects that I now avoid! Keep these videos coming! Through the magic of KZbin, you come to us so personally all the way from Australia! All the best to you and your family!

So thankful I found your video today! I getting ready to get this on the needles, finally. Such a crazy, busy season for me with knitting, but now it's slowing. A couple new techniques for me with this one. This and magic loop. When you close up that hole do you close it up tight before you start knitting? Thank you so much for doing this and your other video giving the information about what you've learned.

[@mostlyknitting]

I hope it is going well. I don’t cinch the hole closed fully until later on. :)

[@tlneill]

@@mostlyknitting thank you, for responding so quickly! I've read through many of your answers on both videos and I'll be starting soon. The great part is my head circumference is just a bit smaller than yours, at 21.5". And I'm neither a tight or loose knitter really. I'm usually right on target with gauge with most weights, but the exception sometimes is fingering weight. Maybe it's just me and how I think it looks using the called for needle, but other hats I've done the fabric seems thin. It doesn't seem to create a dense fabric, if that makes sense. I've often wondered if that's just how it is with thin yarn in general, but if I see it starting the brim I go down a needle size. In the end it still seems thin on the brim anyway (patterns not double brim or folded.) Modicum is a good example. I'm on gauge so much that I stopped swatching unless my gut tells me I'd better, and it always works out. Even then I cheat and use the swatch trick. 😂I should just trust the recommended needle size if I'm using yarn that's accurate weight with well written patterns, and go for it. Thanks again for the quick response! I'm looking forward to my first one.

[@krisvanallen]

So on the second part of the stitch that is cast on, you wrap the yarn around the needle, in the usual way. I’ve also seen tutorials that show the second wrap of the needle done in the reverse, or clockwise way. What would be the difference or advantage of one over the other, do you know?

[@mostlyknitting]

Hi Kris. I have done it both ways and it seems to make no difference. I first learned it wrapping in reverse as you mention and I did it that way for a while. But it seems to give the same result so i thought it would just be easier to show it wrapping in the usual way. :)

[@knittingknut]

I’m finding I have to use another needle to make the second half of the stitch. Working with very fine sock yarn it’s almost impossible to make the stitch just by pinching it.

[@mostlyknitting]

Sometimes you will need to use another implement like a needle. I'm glad you have managed to find a way to make it work. :)

I stay on magic loop until I get to the final stitch count. By that stage, I find there is enough fabric. :)

Hi Jenn Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment. I think once you get past the cast on and get a few more stitches on the needles, you will be off and knitting.

Thank you so much for the super helpful video! Do you know if you need a particularly long set of circular needles to start off this pinhole? I was thinking of just 16 inches/41 cm but I don't know if that's too short. Thanks!

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much. I am so glad you found it helpfu. I think a 16" circular would be too short as you need to either use double pointed needles or a long needle to magic loop when you have such a small circumference. At least in the beginning. :)

[@svan9027]

Thank you!

[@TaylorV61]

Hi, your method of casting on makes more sense to me and is easier to work with than Ysolda's. However, in her video she notes that it's important to have the yarn ball on the left instead of the right. When i try your cast on compared to hers, i notice that my yarn tail is attached to a different stitch. Does this really matter? Im already getting so confused and frustrated with this musselburgh hat and i cant get past the first increase round before frogging because everything always looks or feels wrong

[@mostlyknitting]

Hi Taylor. There are a few different methods for creating a pinhole cast on. Each one will work but i think it is best to choose the method you find easiest to do. If you try to do a mix of two methods, there could be problems. I really love this method as for me, i find it much easier to do and remember. I learned it from Tin Can Knits (in one of their blanket patterns, Vivid) and it absolutely works. So i would suggest if you like this method, go with this one and dont worry about what is happening in a different method. This one definitely works, i promise. :)

[@deniselouvet3499]

Hi, I’ve just done your pinhole cast on, it’s not perfect but not bad for my first attempt. However, you don’t use markers, following the Musselburgh hat pattern it refers to markers. How do you do this? 😊

[@mostlyknitting]

I do add markers later. This is a paid for pattern so i didnt want to include too much in this tutorial. I place the markers as indicated by the pattern but not on the two ends where i magic loop (as they would just fall off…) I just know in my head that at the end of each half round with magic loop, there is a “marker” there. Hope that helps. :)

[@muqaddasoripova815]

Hello! What’s the difference between musselburgh and Oslo hat pattern?

[@mostlyknitting]

Hi there. The Musselburgh is essentially a double thick hat with one half folded inside the other. So the turned up brim is 4 layers thick. The Oslo hat has a folded brim which then gets folded again so it is 3 layers. The Musselburgh is specifically written for lots of different weights of yarn but I like it best with 4ply. The Olso hat pattern is written for DK weight yarn but you could modify for other weights but you would have to change the stitch count yourself as it isnt specifically written that way. Hope that helps. :)

[@rosemaryeveleigh3562]

Tash thank you for the tutorial on the pinhole cast on. Is it stretchy enough for a ribbed 👒?

[@mostlyknitting]

Hi Rosemary, Because the cast on is for the crown of the hat, it wont affect the stretchiness of the ribbing of the brim when you get to that part. You will have to be sure to do a stretchy bind off, though. For the Musselburgh hat, it wont matter at all as it is essentially one long tube that gets doubled for the hat. As long as your gauge is ok, the hat wont be too tight. Hope that helps. :)
