Love your videos. I have been knitting since I was 6 years old, taught by my Scottish mother. I went on hiatus from knitting for about 20 years, with work and a bad case of carpal tunnel, but now I'm back. I watch your videos to refresh my memory and learn new techniques (ie. magic loop---circulars are all I use now!) I watched a few videos with my 8 year old granddaughter, who loves learning anything from a video. The other day I asked her if she would like to learn how to knit. Her response? "Put on the Very Pink Knits lady and she can teach me". So, there is a whole new generation for you to teach. You are a great resource and teacher. Thanks.
Since I discovered your youtube channel, Staci, my knitting has improved by leaps and bounds and I have tried so many new things - gloves, socks, lace - all really scary before. Thank you for everything - you rock!
One of my favorite ways of joining in the round is to cast on an additional stitch, slip it from the right to the left needle then knit it together with the first stitch(the slip knot). I'm going to have to try these, see how they compare. Going solely on the look of what you've done, it appears I might have a new favorite method. Thank you so much for all you do. My technique has improved by leaps and bounds just by watching your videos.
I enjoyed your video, it’s very quick to the point, not overly polished, you’re showing us how to fix mistakes and finally, not a lot of chatter. You are very pleasant to listen to. I plan to bookmark this and hopefully continue to use your tips as I get back into knitting.
I swear you are like the Martha Stewart of knitting, i love your videos so much, the professionalism, the nails, how neat everything looks. I want to be as talented in this craft as you are one day
Oh my gosh, not only are your videos so informative and well filmed, but you have taught me how to remedy something that has bugged me forever when knitting in the round. Also, I love knitters pride and I now know that they have a short tips set because of you so I’m so excited now 😁 thank you for putting out these videos!
You have answered a question I have had for a long time. VeryPink is where I always come for clear instructions and well made videos when I have a knitting question. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for these simple tips and techniques. I live in an area that doesn't seem to have many knitters, mostly crochet. Although I have been crocheting since I was a teen, I am always interested in a new challenge. I learned how to knit on UA-cam. I am one of your many happy students!
What would I do without you!!! I learned to knit 19 years ago and am only now really pushing myself to knit more than just scarves and everytime I look up a video, your videos are always top notch and just what I need, so thank you!
How very smart, I never thought about starting the round works in any of these ways! I used to just join, start knitting and keep going, and I do end up with this tiny "mis-step" at the joining. Thanks for your great advice! - and once again- THANKS FOR THE proper CLOSED CAPTIONS!
Today is Sunday, July 8, 2018. I just started to learn to knit a few months ago. I have watched several of your videos and they've been so helpful! With this video, at first, the first sample seemed easier, but then as I was watching again, the second sample seems to be the easiest, and cleanest join, of the two. I wrote down the instructions, and I will definitely give it a try on my next cast on. Thank you for so many helpful knitting tips and techniques! You are the BEST! 💝
I have a Knitter's Pride Bamboo Interchangeables and love them. I was trying to knit Knitting Worsted in socks on the small needles and I replaced them with the Platinas so these needles don't break again. I'll likely re-buy the bamboos I broke as I was using the wrong weight but I learned my lesson. I have used a clippers marker for the keys on my set and really like that as I don't have to look for the key, attached it to the elastic. Love your demo of how to join in the round. Stacy is the BEST!
I have all of the Dreamz Knitters Pride and it solved a lot of my knitting issues. Love love love them. Once I started using them instead of metal or bamboo I was able to knit to gauge from a pattern consistently and evenly. I used to knit way way too tight. Not anymore. I even bought 4 sets (16in, long circular, bulky and double pointed (not the sock) for my teenage granddaughter who I taught to knit with the help of Very Pink since often her questions are long distance. I use the fixed ones circular (size 0,1,2,3) for sock weight yarn using magic loop now that I have learned it from Very Pink. Sadly they don't make the interchangeable in the sock weight for obvious reasons but the sock double point serves well and now with the magic loop and I can just use the dpn's for my frequent mistakes.
thank you so very much, i have learned so much from you. You are a very pleasant person to watch and i enjoy that you seem down to earth and so very REAL. thanks a million. hugs
I taught myself to knit this summer. At first I looked at different videos. Now when I am learning a new technique, I find a video where you teach it. The three things I want to knit are 1) cotton dish cloths, 2) socks and 3) sweaters. I knit dish cloths all the time now. I love them. They last forever and so much better than store bought dish cloths. I knitted my first sock following one of your videos. It's hilariously fat and short. Turned the heel - no problem. Knitted gusset - no problem. The toe - totally weird. I ordered a book so that will hopefully help. I did learn to knit on double pointed needles. I am using them to make a hat. I have ordered a size 7, 16 inch circular knitting needle and I will make my next hat on that. I have made 2 scarves and they turned out great. I've made some coffee cozies that are great. Thank you for such wonderful videos! You communicate very well and your videos have a very professional look to them.
Thanks so much for all the hard work you do to bring us these wonderful tutorials. When ever I'm stuck with a "how to" problem I have always found the answer on your channel. Please keep them coming I look forward to watching them everyday. If I don't win the knitters Pride needles, I've started saving up for them. In six months I'll be able to get them. I'm so excited!! Thanks again :)
Thank you for these tips! Hats are my absolute favorite things to knit and I always have the jog problem and have to fix it the hard way. Since I knit hats so much I must get my hands on that needle kit!
Great view, easy to understand and hear, to the point, thank you for not lingering on or being repetitive. I'm a beginning knitter and learn better by visual technic. Look forward to more demos from you.
Thank you for telling about the needles you use in this video. I knit hats and socks, and immediately ordered the set of hat needles after watching this video. I love them! Perfect for my hat knitting for disadvantaged kids, who don't have hats for our sometimes harsh Canadian winters. I love your videos - so helpful, no matter what my question is, I can get an answer here. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Stacy! I used the first method on my first fair isle project and it really helped secure the last cast on stitch better than jumping right into a knit stitch. Thank you for all the great techniques!
Thank you Staci for always showing us Everything we need to know. This Joining in the Round was stressing me out and also trying to learn the Magic Loop. So, Never doubt that your are not Appreciated, you most definitely are! Thank you very much, Renee.
I never use a technique either. I always use the jog to know when I finish a round. But I want to make gifts and would like to make something of "heirloom quality". Thank you again for not only showing the techniques BUT the results too! I find that a lot of other video tutorials fail to demonstrate the difference in appearance and with knitting, appearance is everything!
I would love to see you give us some interesting infinity scarves pattern/ideas, nothing too fancy/complicated, but with some cool textures, such as bobbles. Thanks for all you do, your an amazing teacher!!!
Really helpful video, thank you! I love the quality of all your videos. Very clear, well-lit views of your knitting and instructions are always super clear.
Thanks for your videos on 9 inch rounds. It finally convinced me to start some socks on a pair that I bought a long time ago, and it's been really quite enjoyable. It was much easier once I thought about the fact that I would need to switch up my style a bit, and that it would take a little practice before I would get good. But it's great for taking with me places, especially since I tend to knit during long lectures in class. Thanks!
From watching your tube I bought the Platina 16" circular needles ! no stretching the stitch/yarn! I love them wish they came larger than the size 10. Worth the buy!!!!! Thanks bought them from webs cheaper then ebay :)
Thank you for replying. I thank your great great Aunt for teaching you. You are blessed. I wish I had a family member to teach me. I will contact a yarn shop, but I am afraid I won't be able to afford it. I will always watch your videos. I may not learn to much right now but later on when get it will be valuable.
My go-to for joining in the round is to cast on an extra stitch, slip that stitch to the left needle and knit it together with the first cast on stitch. But I'll be trying the first two methods next time I knit in the round!
Thank you, learned something today. Had a pattern for fingerless gloves that I made. The pattern was definitely for 33 stitches but said to cast on 34 & join in the round. Now I know why, it was the cast off method. Good to know! Thanks!
I'm double checking my methods before starting a sweater because joining in the round is always loose for me, and I audibly gasped watching the first method - so genius! I'm definitely going to try this instead!
She really is an amazing teacher, so good at explaining and demonstrating together. Every single knitting technique I know I've learned from her videos! I used to crochet, and one day while I was pregnant I decided I wanted to learn to knit too, and I'm so glad I randomly chose her videos lol
Aw, good timing on this instructional video!! Going to go back to knitting hats for the military and these tips will be fun to incorporate! Thanks again, Staci, for the easily-understood directions!!
Thanks for these great tips!! Showing multiple techniques in one video is SUPER helpful... When people ask who taught me to knit I tell them "My Internet Auntie", but I really mean you ;) Thanks!
Great video, thanks. You have a wonderful way of explaining techniques simply and succinctly. I liked the way one of the invisible joins helped to keep the first and last stitches together. I also have a request .... If you were using magic loop method to knit a hat, how would you do an invisible join then? I need a less awkward technique than I can invent.
Thanks for the new ideas! I have always cast on 1 extra, slipped it, then worked it together with the last stitch. I will definitely try some of these to see if I like the results better. I have a set of hat needles, too, btw. Thanks for making me feel practical about it and not just indulgent.. ;)
thank you for showing this. I've read it in some instructions, yet the take a stitch off part had me hesitate big time!!! no worries now seeing it! *tho the way you've often shown to "repair", has always worked well for me* :)
Thank you for the three different ways to join stitches in-the-round, for 60 stitches what size of needle I should use ,I'am trying for the first time to knit with the circular needlr. Thank you again Blessings
If you're knitting a hat or something, I recommend finding a pattern and following it. The pattern will tell you the needle size, yarn weight, cast-on number for the size you're after, etc.
Thank you for the other techniques! I make a lot of hats and always end up with that stair step look. I will definitely try one of these to avoid that next time!
Seems your technique for joining in the round makes the most sense. I used to knit the first two stitches together and always see the seam. Here's my question as it applies to your second technique: After you put the marker on, and then transfer the stitch from the left needle to the right, you end up with one stitch on the right needle prior to starting your row. What does that stitch count as? If my pattern is K1 ,P1 what is that first stitch? Do I start with a knit?
Are you asking about knitting a hat? Yes, that is one way to do it. But if you've never knit a hat before, I recommend finding and following a tried-and-true pattern, there are thousands of hat patterns available on Ravelry.
I'm new so watching this all again and again, first time using this methodmaking boot cuffs for my daughter in Colorado, she might get them by Christmas, HELP!
I am a new sub & have been binging on your vlogs. I think you may be the only knitting vlog I need. Thank you for your excellent instructions. I looked up those needles & found another set by knitters pride with 2 inch needles (noted for lace) that comes with more needle sizes starting with size 2 which I use often for socks. Do you have any feedback regarding the 2in length needles? I am wondering if they may be tough to hold?
Thank you for the knitting in the round video, but do you have tips on knitting big projects like tunics or dresses? Or have you already done a video on this? Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question about the second technique. It looks like your slip knot tail and working yarn are both on the RH needle, and you CO the extra stitch on the RH needle using the working yarn. Can the second technique be used with a knit-on CO method, where the RH needle's top most stitch is the slip knot, and the working yarn is coming off the top most stitch on the LH needle?
Thanks for this clear demo of the different techniques, Staci! So on the second technique, I noticed that after placing your round marker, you slipped the first stitch of the round (which had been "wrapped" by the "sacrificial stitch" (love that!) without working it. I've seen the same technique used by a friend, but she worked that first stitch of the round. Is there a reason you don't work it? Does *not* working the first stitch help to smooth and hide the join? Thanks! I have been knitting for three years now and always consult your videos when learning a new technique. You're the best!
+Allison Byrd - no reason, it's just the technique the way I learned it. If you're curious, I'd try both ways, back-to-back, to see which looks best in for the yarn/gauge you're using.
Love your videos. I have been knitting since I was 6 years old, taught by my Scottish mother. I went on hiatus from knitting for about 20 years, with work and a bad case of carpal tunnel, but now I'm back.

NANCY DRUMMOND Can you post the Needle set you bought? I looked on website and didn’t see the one she used on video unless I overlooked it. Thank you
My favorite teacher! Never miss an episode.
Thanks Stacy! I used the first method on my first fair isle project and it really helped secure the last cast on stitch better than jumping right into a knit stitch. Thank you for all the great techniques!
Finally some awesome techniques for "joining". I’ve always just started knitting but not anymore 😊
I love these techniques! And off topic, your nails look amazing!
Thank you Staci for always showing us Everything we need to know. This Joining in the Round was stressing me out and also trying to learn the Magic Loop. So, Never doubt that your are not Appreciated, you most definitely are! Thank you very much, Renee.

Thanks for the tips, I usually use number 3, but I think I I’m gonna try the second tip…it looks like an easy way to have a “jog-less” joint!
Being going crazy with the knit on the round, but your explanation made it easy for me, a beginner, to understand. Thanks!!
Thank you ,thank you. I had no clue what I was doing with joining in the round but the German cast on almost killed me til I found your channel.
I would love to see you give us some interesting infinity scarves pattern/ideas, nothing too fancy/complicated, but with some cool textures, such as bobbles. Thanks for all you do, your an amazing teacher!!!
It's been years since I knitted in the round and forgot how to join. I used your second technique successfully.
Really helpful video, thank you! I love the quality of all your videos. Very clear, well-lit views of your knitting and instructions are always super clear.
Thank you, Staci, for these 3 tips on how to join in the round. I enjoy immensely your videos and techniques! God bless you!
Thanks for this video. I am new to knitting on circular needles and found this extremely helpful.

I like how you did the second one. Although the first one seems the easiest... I like the second one better. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful to get the newsletter again! Thanks for working on all this stuff~
Thank you so much! Swapping the stitches was perfect. I can finally knit in the round!!!
Thank you so much. I always have to refigure it out. Kinda like the once a year processes I do at work.
I watch all of your videos and they are so helpful! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! You're awesome!
Thank the knitting gods for you! 💜 I learn so much. Thanks for sharing!!
She really is an amazing teacher, so good at explaining and demonstrating together. Every single knitting technique I know I've learned from her videos! I used to crochet, and one day while I was pregnant I decided I wanted to learn to knit too, and I'm so glad I randomly chose her videos lol
Thank you! Gratitude from a Learning Knitter, January 2024! 🧶🥰
This is my favorite needle set! I use them all the time and you're so right. They're perfect for hats.
What about decreases? Do I still need ten sets of dpns?
Can they be used for smaller hats like those for newborns/preemies?
Very handy! I use two of these techniques (the first, and the last), but hadn't ever seen the third, and it looks like a good way to go. Thanks!
Knit swetter from töp Down
Awesome, I join as you do and fix with end to weave in but have never known the other versions which I'm glad to know. Love your videos.
Aw, good timing on this instructional video!! Going to go back to knitting hats for the military and these tips will be fun to incorporate! Thanks again, Staci, for the easily-understood directions!!
I love this video and it is going to come in handy for making my dog's sweaters. Thank you!
Thanks for these great tips!! Showing multiple techniques in one video is SUPER helpful... When people ask who taught me to knit I tell them "My Internet Auntie", but I really mean you ;) Thanks!
your every video is great thank u for your hard work
Great video, thanks. You have a wonderful way of explaining techniques simply and succinctly.
I liked the way one of the invisible joins helped to keep the first and last stitches together.
I also have a request .... If you were using magic loop method to knit a hat, how would you do an invisible join then? I need a less awkward technique than I can invent.
Great tips in this video, thanks. I'm going to try both the join techniques. Generally I do the jog repair afterwards as you do.
Thanks for the new ideas! I have always cast on 1 extra, slipped it, then worked it together with the last stitch. I will definitely try some of these to see if I like the results better.
I have a set of hat needles, too, btw. Thanks for making me feel practical about it and not just indulgent.. ;)
Thank you very much for your videos. They are very informative & fun. I don't have any Knitter's Pride. One day.
Thank for you wonderful videos !! I just started using circular needles and this video really helped !!😀😃
Thank you, I always have that step to fix at the end. I like 1st method.
When I work in the round, I work the first two stitches with the "working yarn & the tail ". It comes out nice.
I do that too.
that's genius!
Thanks for the tips. I always use the 2nd method you've described for joining in the round.
thank you for showing this. I've read it in some instructions, yet the take a stitch off part had me hesitate big time!!! no worries now seeing it! *tho the way you've often shown to "repair", has always worked well for me* :)
+Cj CreativeLife - yes, the "repair" way is my standard way of doing it, too.
Thanks a million for helping me with my problem The knitting pattern didn’t explain changing needles.
WOW...love these techniques! I also own this set of needles...they are fabulous!
How did I never know about a 16" hat knitting set! This is fantastic, thank you!
Does anyone know how she threaded that needle? I can't figure it out!!!
Thanks Staci for these very helpful tips, can't wait to try these
Where can I find your really easy, knit instructions for a knit in the round lose beanie hat that doesn't destroy one's hair style.
You make it look so easy, I'm going to try the first one 😊
Very helpful. Thank you for such an excellent video!
Such wonderful, clear instruction. Thank you!
Thank you for the three different ways to join stitches in-the-round, for 60 stitches what size of needle I should use ,I'am trying for the first time to knit with the circular needlr. Thank you again Blessings
If you're knitting a hat or something, I recommend finding a pattern and following it. The pattern will tell you the needle size, yarn weight, cast-on number for the size you're after, etc.
very neat idea. I am a new kniiter and I love this. thanks
Thank you!!! Helped me understand where other videos couldn't.
This was very clear and helpful. Thank you!
Great techniques to add to our knitting bags! Thanks!
great helpful video. I use the last method but will add the others into my knitting .
Thank you for the other techniques! I make a lot of hats and always end up with that stair step look. I will definitely try one of these to avoid that next time!
This is a great help! Thank you so much for providing this video!
Nice
Fabulous technique video, love your nails!
Seems your technique for joining in the round makes the most sense. I used to knit the first two stitches together and always see the seam. Here's my question as it applies to your second technique: After you put the marker on, and then transfer the stitch from the left needle to the right, you end up with one stitch on the right needle prior to starting your row. What does that stitch count as? If my pattern is K1 ,P1 what is that first stitch? Do I start with a knit?
Ilene Lehman I’ve been wondering the same thing
Joshua Wilson k
Joshua Wilson k
I have the same question.
Same question here as well😬
Brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much!
I really appreciate you giving the metric equivalent for needle sizes. Any chance you could do the same for cord length?
Love how clear your video is, thank you! Just have one question: once I join, I just knit to my desired length and then decrease and cinch the top?
Are you asking about knitting a hat? Yes, that is one way to do it. But if you've never knit a hat before, I recommend finding and following a tried-and-true pattern, there are thousands of hat patterns available on Ravelry.
I knit hats all the time but usually just on straight needles. Just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Thanks again!
For the second technique, wouldn't you need to still knit that first stitch, not transfer it over after the marker? Thank you!
I'm new so watching this all again and again, first time using this methodmaking boot cuffs for my daughter in Colorado, she might get them by Christmas, HELP!
I would be so grateful to find a knitter in Dallas Texas. Anybody? Very nice video.
I am a new sub & have been binging on your vlogs. I think you may be the only knitting vlog I need. Thank you for your excellent instructions.
I looked up those needles & found another set by knitters pride with 2 inch needles (noted for lace) that comes with more needle sizes starting with size 2 which I use often for socks. Do you have any feedback regarding the 2in length needles? I am wondering if they may be tough to hold?
Thank you for the knitting in the round video, but do you have tips on knitting big projects like tunics or dresses? Or have you already done a video on this? Thank you
I like adding the extra st and then bind it off.
Great video thank you
great video, the extra stitch technic is how if do the join in the round
Awesome ! Thank you teacher
I do have that set and they are awesome!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question about the second technique. It looks like your slip knot tail and working yarn are both on the RH needle, and you CO the extra stitch on the RH needle using the working yarn. Can the second technique be used with a knit-on CO method, where the RH needle's top most stitch is the slip knot, and the working yarn is coming off the top most stitch on the LH needle?
Thank you that was helpful!
Thanks for this clear demo of the different techniques, Staci! So on the second technique, I noticed that after placing your round marker, you slipped the first stitch of the round (which had been "wrapped" by the "sacrificial stitch" (love that!) without working it. I've seen the same technique used by a friend, but she worked that first stitch of the round. Is there a reason you don't work it? Does *not* working the first stitch help to smooth and hide the join? Thanks! I have been knitting for three years now and always consult your videos when learning a new technique. You're the best!
+Allison Byrd - no reason, it's just the technique the way I learned it. If you're curious, I'd try both ways, back-to-back, to see which looks best in for the yarn/gauge you're using.
I'll give it a try. Thanks for your reply, Staci!
