So great having all of these ways. I used to pass by patterns that say provisional cast on. Now it doesn't scare me as much but unzipping is still a struggle. This will help.

That's fantastic. I always thought I was doing something wrong because of the extra half stitch/disappearing stitch. Such a relief to know it's just the way it is.

This is a fantastic tutorial! Thank you SO much for showing several ways to do a provisional cast-on. It's good to have alternatives. You are a very good instructor -- clear, concise, and you don't babble on with unimportant nonsense. The lifeline idea is really good. It's nice to know there's a way to make sure you won't lose any stitches when you take out the provisional yarn. Love you, Laura Nelkin!

Thanks for the many choices. I especially liked the cable cast on, it makes things very simple, will try it the next time I use a provisional cast on.
@jessicafreeman70104 жыл бұрын
This is fantastic! I never realized you could cast the stitches directly onto the knitting needle (I've always made the crochet chain first and then tried to pick up stitches later and been annoyed). Also the lifeline is brilliant! And what timing! I'm working on the sleeve of my NovelT sweater now and I think one of the next steps is to add stitches with a crochet cast on! Thank you!!!
@simonemusin77194 жыл бұрын
Another great tutorial video! Again more techniques I get to learn! Puts a big smile on my face :-) like many I only used the first traditional crochet cast on. Also I always had to count my stitches after taking the provisional cast on out as I never knew if I needed an extra stitch or not. So, the explanation about a half stitch at each end is a big help and now I know what to do and know I will not need to count stitches! Thank you sooooo much!

Oh, that's a great idea! But it isn't hard! I would do your provisional cast on for the number of sts your pattern calls for, then work one row with your working yarn. Then, don't turn your work, but place a marker and then continue, joining into the round.

Seems like an under-utilized technique. Allows options for later. I am using it in-the-round for a hat brim I want turned up and sewn on the inside. Maybe a way to avoid grafting (hate grafting) on one of those long symmetrical stoles where each half is worked from the middle out. Worth a try... Nice video. Thanks!

I think if you know you crochet more tightly then it totally makes sense to go up a size or two hook... that way you'll have an easier time going into those stitches!

I don’t believe you’re counting right. You don’t have a knitted row until you actually knit into the stitches you made with your working yarn. Remember you’ll be removing the crochet chain, so you can’t count those bumps as stitches, they won’t be there.

This won't work with k1 p1. Everything twists and you'll need to cut the provisional off.
