- In this video for very visual learners, I demonstrate Judy's Magic Cast-On in slow motion. This CO is commonly used in toe-up sock patterns.
You can see my other slow-motion videos here:
• Slow-Motion Techniques
You can see my regular speed JMCO video here: • Knitting Help - Judy's...
The sweater on the mannequin is my Zippered Letterman’s Jacket, pattern and video tutorial:

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Aran. The needles are Knitter's Pride Ginger from an interchangeable set.
I really enjoy all your videos but especially the slow-motion ones. I can really see every stitch being made. Thank you!
Nice! I finally figured out how I got the stitches twisted. I just never knit into the back of them. I so appreciate this clarification.
This is amazing. I was just getting ready to knit some socks after not having knit them in over a year. I forgot how to do the cast-on and here your video appeared today. Serendipity! Thank you.
Just got back into knitting after a few years of crochet and loved this cast-on for socks but forgot how! So happy you have a slow-mo series now! Thank you!
As a new knitter I love your slow motion videos. Thank you very much
I might have found my problem! I figured I was casting on correctly because of your nice video. After nearly wearing out my "practice" yarn and almost in tears, going to bed thinking over and over about it, I think my problem was with the tension of my wraps on the cast on. I was thinking I was knitting off the needle wrong and I had a tension problem there. I paid close attention to each initial wrap on the needle and the last stitch which was giving me so much problem is so much better now and I am willing to live with it. It looks pretty good now. I am trying to knit a "yeti" bag for my granddaughter:) I have never done a pair of socks so this has been a huge learning experience for me. Your knitting videos are such a great help in learning!
Thank you so much for the slow motion videos. It has taken my knitting to the next level.
Thank you!!!! I keep doing this wrong and this slow motion showed me why. Maybe I can make socks now!
I used that cast on to make some coasters. Started with about 8 on each needle. Increased for about 1.5", then straight for about an inch and then decreased until back to 8 or starting number of stitches. Then closed with Kichner ?sp stitch. Made out of cotton. Works great! Thanks for showing us this cast on.
Brilliant demo. Thank you :)
Judy’s magic cast on is the only one I’ve used for all my socks until your Fleegle Heel pattern. It’s great but does leave a definite little line - but no seam so they are comfy. I love the pinpoint toes in your Fleegles. I call it Star Toe and it makes me happy.
Thanks much, spent one and a half days, looking at toe up judy becker cast on before I found this slow motion. I really need a slow visual. You saved my sanity............God Bless you for coming up with this. At 40 I went to community college, ended up in a pre-Algebra class that I had to take and retake it 7 times before I could pass the class for a grade. Everything take me along time to get sometimes. 74 and still learning.
Thank you for this. It's just my speed
This was so VERY helpful! Thank you!
This is the BEST, Most Helpful, tute demonstrating this technique I’ve seen ANYwhere. Thank you! 🥰👏
I would appreciate your perspective regarding the pros/cons of using this cast on for socks...?
You only want to use this CO if the pattern calls for it...it is a good CO, but only necessary if the construction of the socks starts from the tippy-toe.
I didn't know how to share this with you any other way. I was watching this video; 1929 Interviews With Elderly People Throughout the US. At about the 30 second mark were several older ladies knitting. I have never seen it done exactly like this before. I thought you and your other followers might like to see and perhaps try it. I know I will next chance I get.
I just checked it out...that is how my Great Great Aunt knit (the woman who taught me to knit), as well as all of her family. They are holding the right needle like a pencil. From what I understand, it was considered a "prettier" way of knitting, rather than palming both needles, the way most people knit now.
Hi staci thank you for this magic cast on....i like it and slow motion really does help.....HAVE A NICE DAY💝😄
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you! I am going to teach my students to make socks....on size 8s....and this will be perfect for them to watch prior to class. (I provide the needles and they provide the cheapest yarn they can find)
Another great video.
Thank you for this now I get it 🤣💚
I'm confused as to how many sts. you are casting on. Is it 4 or 8? Sorry if that is a dumb question.
Is the back needle the top or bottom?
I don’t understand what makes one the back/front needle?
do you have written direction
I love this cast on. Thank you✌🏻❤️🧶
I am a first-time sock knitter and am planning to do toe-up, 2 at a time, using two 18" cable needles, rather than magic loop. How do I convert this example to using two needles? Thanks for your help, and for all these fabulous slow-mo tutorials!
Thank for the nice slow motion video. After I have done my initial cast on and I have knit the stitches on the top row, I find that I have too big of a loop in the last stitch before I knit the remaining stitches which were on the bottom before I turned the needles and are now on the top. I have tried everything and I can not get rid on the one large knit stitch at the end of first needle. I have no other problems with any of the stitches as I knit from one needle to the other from that point on. Sometimes this last stitch on the first needle the first time through is VERY big. I have tried countless times to fix this and I can not. Do you have any ideas as to what I might do to correct this? It is so frustrating:(
Hi. First of all I would like to say I love your video, they have learned me so much :) I am wondering if you could please make a video that show how to not get a purl jog? When i purl around the purl bumb dont line up and make a purl job. Hope you please can make a video about how to fix this. Thank you so much.
I can't thank you enough!
How do I calculate how many stitches to cast on for Toe up or Top down - I'm a size 8 in US shoes, Foot circumference is 8" (ball of foot), ankle is 9", length of foot from toe to heel is 9 3/4". Thank you so much!
This is just a short video demonstrating a cast-on...I have a ton of sock tutorials that include downloadable patterns, you can see the lineup of them all here: verypink.com/category/socks/
@@verypinkknits the challenge is that I purchased a Sock pattern and the instructions is written for a size 42 EU Men ONLY and I'm trying to customize it to fit me :-(. It has no other options for sizes and starts off to cast on 16 st n US 2.5 DPN and that starts off right away too be wide so I ripped it up. Casted on 14 on each needle and it may be a bit loose but think I can wing in. Your Math for Knitters section was helpful :-). The rest I'll keep searching. THANK YOU so much.
I recommend contacting the pattern designer directly for help...I've never heard of a sock pattern written for such (and only) a specific size!
@@verypinkknits agree and good idea. Going to do just that!
I like your eyeglass frames. Who makes them and where can I buy them?
Thank you, but they're just some cheap readers that I bought on Amazon...I don't even think they have a brand name. :)
