Knit Tip: You'll Love this Tubular Cast On with Stitch Saver for 1 x 1 Ribbing

[@jennystrick195]

Thank you so much for this technique! It’s so much easier than the Italian cast on, especially if you’re going to work in rounds!

[@magsohara7908]

I love learning new stuff. This is brilliant Thank you Laura 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

ok. just tried it. this is super neat and clean. and my head is already spinning about how to do this in the round and how to cast 2 by 2 ribs on like this.

[@LauraNelkin]

Fantastic! Report back!

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

@@LauraNelkin did it in the round. no problem. cast it on flat and joined the ends when knitting the first normal row (so after joining the stitches from the two needles). so very neat and clean. used it for a pulswarmer (hands). but I kind of molded it to my hand while I was knitting (by in- and decreasing) and now I have to reproduce that for the other hand... 😄

[@TextileHouse]

This was the easiest explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!!

[@LauraNelkin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@julies7111]

love this and as others have said, so much less fussy than other methods. Thank you!

[@LauraNelkin]

I am so glad you love it!

[@lindaturner2980]

Can this technique be used in the round, say for the cuffs of socks, please?

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

By far the easiest tutorials from which to learn! Thank you!💗

[@LauraNelkin]

Thanks Sarah!

[@pamhirschler9171]

This yarn is beautiful. Can you please give info on the yarn?

[@thelevicole]

my mind is BLOWN by this!

[@chavamana48]

I now need to figure out how to use this to do a circular cast on for top-down socks....

[@LauraNelkin]

Oh, that's easy, work it and then join into the round after you work the first row of 1 x 1 ribbing

[@TwinkleToes2day]

@@LauraNelkin I was going to ask the same thing 😊 but would also like to know if the process is the same for 2x2 ribbing please? Thank you so much 💐🍫

[@angko-pe]

This is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial of the tubular cast on with a stitch saver!

[@LauraNelkin]

You are so welcome!

[@j1m404]

You’re the reason I bought a roll of the stitch saver, it’s a game changer Thank you! Also, Is it possible to do a tubular cast on for 2x2 ribbing?

[@LauraNelkin]

Definitely, though I find 2 x 2 tubular ribbing to be not quite as flexible... I'd do a swatch to practice! You might need a bigger needle for the first part of it, and then switch to a smaller one once you've got the ribbing set up!

[@eugeniashen4819]

I’ll start using this technique. Thank you so much!

[@genier7829]

This looks like a great technique, which I will forget, so I saved this video to my knitting list, thanks!

[@angelacornell8660]

Thank you so very much ❤, now I get it ❤❤

[@latitude1904]

I love this method! TY for sharing

[@laiheunglam9113]

I've made a sample and am loving the structure! Laura is there a similar way to cast off as I find the Italian tubular cast off method a bit too thin/weak?

[@jacksonstableford8429]

Love this. Thank you

[@ileanaleah2545]

Is it the same technique on the 2x2 ribbing? Love your knitting !

[@saradenbo965]

Laura, thanks for all the great videos. I use your videos a lot! Can you tell me which cowl you are wearing in this video? Thanks! Sara Denbo

[@ranarakab1689]

Hello Laura, how stretchy is this cast on in comparison with the german twisted CO. Thank you

[@melissasandoval2723]

What a smart and great way to do a tubular cast on! I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Quick question - I'm wondering if when moving on to twisted rib from here, could/should we twist the knit and purl rows as worked and then handle the live stitches the same way? Thank you!

[@LauraNelkin]

I think I would swatch that and make sure you like the elasticity with the sts twisted!

[@gigiscolorfulworld]

@lauranelkin Brilliant tutorial! Thank you for sharing this. I would love to see a tutorial of how to do a tubular cast-on in the round (starting a hat brim). I am assuming the join in the round comes after the step of slipping the stitches?

[@LauraNelkin]

So, joining into the round is easy! Just work the cast on, then work a row in pattern then join into the round!

[@magdalenaojrzynska7604]

You're the best❤❤❤❤🎉thank you Laura❤

[@LauraNelkin]

Thanks for watching and sharing!!!

[@angelapa9513]

Thank you Laura

[@Kadunaneedles]

I’m thinking that you could use this method to start toe up socks and not take those back needle stitches as purgatory and knit up as two sides of your sock increasing on either end

[@LauraNelkin]

Great idea!

[@kathieling]

Thank you for this great tutorial for alternate, beautiful method for 1X1 tubular cast on! 😍I can't wait to try. I'm sorry if i missed where to buy this tubing, but can you provide a link for some suggestions on where to buy? I prefer silicone and I want reasonable quality. As, would you have a suggested length of the stitch saver, say, for an adult sweater?

[@LauraNelkin]

Ah, sorry, here's a link to a blog post that tells you more about it (that has a link!) And you'll just want to cut your length at least 6 - 8 inches longer than you need so you have a bit at each side!

[@kathieling]

Sorry … link?

[@lijungchan1189]

Thank you for the turtoral. I'd like to know if I would use size 9 needle, can I still use 2mm stitch saver cord? or use equalan size of cord to match the needle size?

[@LauraNelkin]

If you are on bigger needles you can use the 3mm cord. Here's a link telling you more about it! nelkindesigns.blogspot.com/2023/05/knitting-hacks-three-game-changing-ways.html

[@tlneill]

I have a pattern I've really been wanting to start but the cast on is one I don't know. The Italian tubular cast on. What is the difference between the tubular cast on and the Italian tubular cast on?

[@LauraNelkin]

Ah, the Italian Tubular Cast on, uses the Italian cast on and then double knitting to set up the ribbing, this version is a folded tubular cast on.

[@tlneill]

@@LauraNelkin thank you! I've watched a few videos and they do seem to look very similar, but it's sounding like they're not interchangeable. The pattern I'm wanting to start is double knit.

[@tulipaka8942]

Hi. I understood this technique. I used to do the italian cast on which gave me tubular cast on 1x1, but it was very stretchy more than demand. Is your technique in this video less stretchy? and is it different?

[@LauraNelkin]

I highly suggest trying both and seeing which you like more or less...

[@annedl3387]

Bonsoir merci pour ces très bonnes explications ! La laine est également très belle, quelle est la marque et le coloris? Merci beaucoup

[@LauraNelkin]

Merci!

[@ccaatthheerriinnee]

Can you use the tubular cast on in stockinette pattern?

[@LauraNelkin]

I think it might be a little "baggy" but you can play with it and see if you like it!

[@kimcollins3148]

Are you aware of a tubular cast on for 2@ time mitts/socks

[@sallycunningham9608]

To fast

[@LauraNelkin]

You can slow down videos in the settings, just put on the CC (closed captions) and turn down the volume : )!

Thank you Laura
