Thank you, Maryna!

Great (as always), thank you Maryna!

[@janewriter]

So clear! Thank you so much!

Barbara Walker published this method in her book, "Knitting from the Top," many years ago. It's always been my go-to provisional caston. Her method uses a slightly different technique in handling the yarn, which makes it one of the fastest ways to cast on, also.

This is great! I have the hardest time with the crochet provisional CO, but this looks easy peasy! Many thanks for another wonderful tip ❤❤

[@10rowsaday]

You are most welcome, my friend :-)

[@onwardbe]

for a beginner it would be nice to see how the the cast on is used and the waste yarn removed.

[@10rowsaday]

Even though the process of moving stitches to a knitting needle is not difficult, I can see how it could be a bit confusing. I'll make a tutorial about this topic within the next few weeks. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@farafara4145]

How can I knit the end and the start together (with a round scarf) so that I don't get a seam? Can you please make a video of that?

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Fara. If you need to use both sets of stitches right away to work in the round, use the Judy's Magic Cast On method described at www.10rowsaday.com/magic-caston Happy knitting!

[@paulbarker3655]

Thank you for this video. Could this be used for the beginning of the tubular cast on?

[@10rowsaday]

Of course. But it is easier to use the tubular cast on method from the very beginning. Here's a tutorial that explains how to do it - www.10rowsaday.com/italian-caston Happy knitting :-)

[@leighcoop1419]

This is great! Thank you. I would love to see if it's doable with fingering weight yarn also, or whether it's just too fiddly with that fine of a piece of yarn. But I love it and will be trying it soon!

[@10rowsaday]

This method works great with any yarn. I used it even when I was knitting a bracelet with fine knitting wire a while ago. Happy knitting :-)
