You have no idea how happy I am to have come across this video right now. I am working on my first ever circular needle project and did not cast on an extra stitch as I was so focused on learning how to use the refined cable cast-on in the round. Your second method of the five was a lifesaver for me!!!! So grateful. I will be so glad when I finish my first project knitting in the round. I love this method of joining in the round without casting on an extra stitch!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I have watched a couple of your videos. Your explanations are so very clearly demonstrated and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I have never been very pleased with joining my stitches "in the round" because of the gap that is left....now I'm sure I'll not have that problem ever again! Thank you for another terrific teaching video. Two thumbs up!!
Thank you, Leonard :-) There is nothing wrong with simply starting to knit in the round, and fixing the gap later on. I've been doing that myself for years until I learned to cross stitches (way #2) :-)
No, Trudy, I'm not a certified knitting instruction. I just share my own bits of experience, and techniques I find during my research. I'm happy you enjoy my tutorials :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you, May :-) Using the extra stitch is a great way to join stitches. It could be a bit bulky if you work with chunky yarn, but otherwise, it's all good. Happy knitting :-)
Thank you for your tutorial! Are you allowed to tell the brand of needle you use in this video? The wire looks very flexible and pliable and thick, which I would love to try!
Of course, I'm allowed to tell the brand of the needles. It's not a big secret :-) I use needles sold by Knitca at www.knitca.com/knitting-needles My husband happens to run this yarn company, so I'm quite lucky to get almost unlimited access to their products :-)
Hi Noelle. Joining 5 stitches in the round is a bit finicky, but possible. The easiest way to do it is to start working in the round right away, but pull the yarn after you work the first stitch to eliminate the gap between the first and the last stitches. Happy knitting :-)

Can someone help? My pattern is asking me to join only 5 stitches in the round. How? It is not enough stitches to get the ends together.
