The tip to turn your work really helped me. I was trying to create a sleeve for a sweater, and I had this weird loop in my cast on stitches. You were the first video out of three to explain that. It made all difference!
I'm always looking for videos to recommend to new knitters when they come into the shop. This was clear and concise. You're missing a couple of the video links you mentioned in your outro, but I had to subscribe because of the dancing!
Thank you, Johnny, for this video on adding stitches in the middle of the work. I am working on a piece that requires the binding off of 26 stitches in the middle of knitting in the round, and the next row casting on 26 stitches. And, oh, by the way, it is 2x2 rib, so I had to get the ribs to line up. I did figure it out after watching this video. Great instructor!
Thank you so much! That was so clear! I also prefer the knit on method of casting on so this made much more sense to me the way you did it. I’ve been through about 5 other videos trying to find one that was clear, concise & easy to follow & I found it in yours 😁 My pattern didn’t explain HOW to cast on in the middle, just that it needed to be done, so thanks again for the great explanation.
I didn’t increase enough in my top-down raglan jacket I am making so I figured out how much more ease I needed at my underarms and tried this method. It looks great and it sure beat having to rip back 10+ rows of intricate cable work just to add an extra 8 sts either side. I’m very happy with this technique.
I just found this cool vid....thanks so much guys. I’m self-taught and have done crochet and knitting for many years, I never perfected the detailed stitches that make professional looking projects. With your awesome help, now I can. Thanks again.
I’ve been looking on u-tube for a couple of days, ugh but I found you! Thank you so much for these easy instructions and your video. I’ll be back! Hugs my new instructor!
I like your videos you give a variety of options for different types of project. I used your cast on here for my sweater sleeves, and it does create solid ridges to pickup stitches from 😊
Johnny you are the best!! Thank you for your patient instructions. You are why I am still clikin along trying to learn new sts and try to knit something besides a blanket square or a hat. 💗 you, your wife is a lucky lady.
Oh that is the best cast on stitch. I used to use the other method but found just like you said that the stitch was not a stable one. Perfect and thank you!!
Thank you so much! The loop method is too loose, as you said. I tried the tutorial for my WIP and it was a huge mess. I had to frog several rows Several times. I still had to mend the button hole. This is SO much easier! Subscribed!!
Amazing for buttonholes. Seeing how it works on gloves today, for the thumb gusset. I have small hands and huge thumb holes, compared to the rest of the glove/mitten, is my biggest peeve.
I’ve got it! THANK YOU. After turning the work I realise the yarn is out to the back as if to knit then the cart on stitches made, then afterwards the work is turned, the yarn is put to the back again then knit to end of row. I am going to start again but at least I understand what to do! The pattern is really tricky even though it is described as easy. It has wrAp and turn,uo1, and my favourite P2 togtbl. You have to be a contortionist to do that!!
Thank you soooo much !! I watched loads of other videos and it wasn't turning out right , and I watched this and turns out The trick was turning my work around and then casting on....so thank you so showing me the right way !!!
I do love your teaching videos. You make it clear and easy. Thank you! I do have a question: I'm knitting a ski mask in which I have to make a space for eyes. The pattern calls for backward loop cast on of 32 stitches (the number I bound off at the bottom of eye space). I've done and undone this 3 times. Would this work better? I appreciate your reply!
Your able to just turn and work the added stitches vs making a hole right? Im thinking of making a horizontal bolaro and my idea needs me to add 3 to 6 stitches on the ends and starts of the row to get the length (due to thick yarn) for the length of my arms. I dont want to make it in pieces as it would break up the variegated colour pattern.
Actual knitting tutorial you came to see starts at 2:06. Don't forget to put your left needle through the back of the new loop you've made before putting it on the needle.
I was really struggling with all the steps and crying while doing but this video really helped me out after 2 and a half weeks I mastered knitting because of this video!🥲😂
I would have spent the rest of my life trying to figure this out before ever thinking about turning the needles around. Thank you!
Me too! I thought it was genius!!
This was SUCH a big help! It never occurred to me to turn my work around when I added the stitches. Thank SO much!
I came to say the same thing! I never thought to turn my work either and the knitted cast on is my standard cast on.
This is the BEST tutorial I've seen for adding on mid-row! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this quick tutorial; it was the instruction that I needed for the thumb gusset in a mitten.

I got the weird loop too with the way i was doing it! So simple and straightforward now. Great tutorial!

Been knitting for 68 years and did not know this method. So much neater than my old way. Thank you.

It took me two days to find this! Thank you, it was great!
You are the absolute best teacher! Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!
I learned something new about how to cast on. I really like his goofiness too!!!

Hello there... I have seen many vids, but yours is the simplesed i watch.. Thank you a 1000 times ♥️💋👋
You are so welcome
Thanks. I was stuck on a pattern and couldn't figure out how to have the right amount of stitches at the end of the row. Very clear to follow.
Nice to finally see the face behind the voice! Very simple instructions for all ure videos , thanks!
Oh that is the best cast on stitch. I used to use the other method but found just like you said that the stitch was not a stable one. Perfect and thank you!!
Definitely trying this on the mittens I am knitting. Thanks!
This was a lifesaver! Could not figure out how to do this until I found your video. Without this video I could not have finished my project.
thank you so much for this tutorial...it was perfectly shown and slow enough to do it with you!
Very nice tutorial. For buttonholes, I like an even stronger edge, so I do a cable knit CO.

Nice moves!
You explain it so well! Very clear, concise and nice and slow! I had to subscribe. Thank you!
Very good clear, buttonholes are always a problem for me seems to depend on the yarn used how neat the buttonhole turns out.
Very clear and helpful. Thank you.

Did you add the same amount of stitches than you casted off in the previous row?
Thanks!!! This video really helped the technique click for me.
Yours is the only video that knits INTO the stitch instead of between stitches for the cable cast on. How does this make the tension different?
Actual knitting tutorial you came to see starts at 2:06. Don't forget to put your left needle through the back of the new loop you've made before putting it on the needle.
thank you so much you saved my day
You rock! Great teacher!
