Long Tail Tubular Cast On

[BuyAClueDude]

This is really great looked for two days til I found this on 2x2 tubular cast on. Thank you for posting.

[freakilyweird]

Thank you for the demonstration! Perfectly clear, and I'll have no trouble starting on my Snow White now.

[Rekkanotara]

Thank you!

[MathaizMom]

Thank you for a clear demonstration :) I was able to catch on quickly to a new cast on method. Please keep the wonderful tutorials coming.

[lizborders]

Thank you so much for this great explanation! I enjoyed listening to your lovely accent, too!

[whosails]

VERY GOOD. THANKS.

I've now become familiar with this technique for both 1x1 and 2x2 ribbing. Is there any reason this couldn't be done in the round? Is it just that it's a bit fussy, or is it impossible to do it that way?

[knitjunky]

sazknits, thank you. Yes, it does answer the question. If I understand you, I can rearrange the stitches into whatever order is needed. That would also suggest that that first CO stitch after the slip knot could go in either direction, depending on whether the pattern calls for K2P2, P2K2, P1 K2P2, or whatever. Yes, that helps.

One more: If that first scoop after the slip knot goes down, scooping the yarn closest to me, when I move the needle to my left hand, that's going to be a knit st, yes?

[knitjunky]

I just answered my own question #2. Yes, you can do it, but you really have to complete the 2d setup row in the usual tubular way (without yarnovers) or else you don't get the nice tube look, and it isn't as stretchy. Next time I would make the brioche setup row after the 2 tubular setup rows.

[knitjunky]

I just love this video and have used it several times for 1x1 rib. Eventually of course I want to use it for 2x2. I have a couple of questions:

1. How come there's a single purl stitch at the start of the row? That is, as long as you're rearranging stitches, why did you make the row start with 1 purl, then K2P2 for the rest?

2. It seems like the 1x1 version would be easily adaptable for brioche, yes? Do a yo with the slipped sts in the 2d setup row?

@knitjunky hi there! (i work for Ysolda). For the first question, I think they were arranged like that because the pattern that Ysolda did the tutorial for (Gretel), started with a p1 at the beginning of the first round. You could change it though! Hope that helps :)

[larudden]

Thanks for this video. Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow.

[cheezymouseful]

it was a bit dak, but i really liked your explaination for both 1x1 and 2x2 thanks so much!

[astramasdemilady]

Thanks a lot for your excellent explanation. The video is really good and clear. It was nice to learn from someone that is such a creative knitter as your are. I am a big fan of your patterns.

Kind regards from Brazil!

[punkin541]

I learned this technique for your pattern 'Gretel' . Since then, I have used it for several other projects. Thank you.

[dukedempseysmom]

awesome- thank you!!!!!

[FionaFae]

Even though loads of the videos for this are DOING the same thing, your explanation (and speed!) are brilliant - I have been trying most of the day to get it and finally I do! Thank you Ysolda!

[ErssieKnits]

Is there a version of this, for people who cannot hold their fingers in that position? (i.e. Me!)

If not, perhaps I should make another version for anyone with disabled or fixed hand positions.

[astramasdemilady]

Greetings from Brazil! Thanks a lot to show how a real easy way to knit the tubular cast on. It works fantastic.

[TheStarPhoenix]

Wow, I love your method of tubular cast on. I have tried other ways, and found them extremely fiddly, but this method is very simple, and the video is great - easy to follow. Thanks for the tutorial!

[roinjawjah]

I appreciate this vid so much, thank you! It was exactly what I needed. Well done. :-)

[alanna1818]

Please add a video on how to join the sleeves on to snow white - I'm so confused!!

[dancinghotdogs89]

Ooh I'm so glad I found this. I'm about to start on your pattern Estella and I'm not as familiar with the tubular cast on as I should be. Wish me luck! :)

[clellybobus]

Thanks so much for posting this! It's great and your presentation of it is so helpful and clear!

[cheney510]

This is an excellent video! Thank you so much! I'm wondering, though, could I cast this onto several double pointed needles instead of a straight needle???

[heidimarier]

Thank you!

You really should make more videos! Please!

[favorablyimpressed]

Your excellent video has encouraged me to give the tubular cast-on a try. Thank you very much.

[SheLuvsHerIpod]

Thank you for such a clear demonstration.

[rockoutperrycomo]

so wonderful, thank you so much for taking the time to share!

[suskababushka]

thanks!

[knittingarch]

Very easy to follow! I've never wanted to try this because it looked so complicated. Well done:)

[mnsieurroger]

Thank you! I was having so much trouble trying to figure out tubular cast-on prior to this video.
