I was taught using the long tail cast on so this is so easy to do the provisional cast on. Thank you so much!❤
This was EXTREMELY helpful and “non-annoying”!I’ve knitted over 30 years but still have to stop and think about certain steps! A Provisional cast on is one of them. You cut to the chase and just show the process! WELL DONE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, my friend 🙏
You never fail to have a better easier method than all the others. Thanks once again.
Thank you :-) Happy knitting!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I HAVE WATCHED QUITE A FEW. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TUTORIALS! BARBARA FROM CEDAR KNOLLS NJ. 12/21
Thank you so much, Barbara. You are very kind. Thank you :-)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've never been able to do a proper provisional cast on before, but now, thanks to your wonderful video, I'm confident I can do it! 😄
Absolute life saver. I've been clicking through so many videos and this is the first one that didn't confuse me terribly. I can finally start my socks!
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. I started a sweater and used a crochet provisional cast on. Within two rows, I couldn't find required stitches to continue. I was going to give up until Maryna suggested this video. The long tail provisional cast on was perfect and the rest of the rows became easy. Thanks to 10rowsaday I can continue knitting and meeting that 10 rows a day goal.
I love this method because it shows how to use a long tail provisional cast-on!! YES. Thank you so much!
You are most welcome :-) Happy knitting!
EXCELLENT tutorials; thank you so much for the time and effort to make high quality content!
This is a fantastic video! Clear, no distractions, and very useful! Thank you!
Thank you, Cayte :-)
Thank you so much for your very clear and useful tutorials. I never could figure out this cast on from a book!
The last way is best for me..thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! The third way works so well for my hands. I was getting so frustrated in how to get the provisional and have seen so many different videos for the same methods with the twisting. Thank you for showing that “long tail” can be used this way!!!!
This is so very helpful to see all three and also how to pick them up. thank you so much!
A thousand thanks! Especially like the long-tail provisional cast on. Very helpful.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the work you do on your channel! Provisional cast ons seemed so intimidating to me but you’ve made it super easy to understand and follow.
Thank you, Nat. I am happy I could help :-)
The third method has become my go to for provisional cast on. Thank you so much for the clear instructions!!
I can't seem to do ANYTHING that requires a crochet hook. There must be something wrong with my brain lol😂 I just can't do it,not even if my life depended on it~!! I've passed over SO many patterns because they included a provisional cast on !! But now I have something I REALLY want to knit for my grandson, so I have to learn.Thank you SO MUCH for this~!! What was so complicated, intimidating and impossible to me (for many years) you've simplified and made possible for me to do~!! Thank you Marnya,,you're my knitting guardian angel~!!😇🧶🥢
Hi Vivienne. I'm so happy this tutorial helped you make friends with the provisional cast on. It is such a helpful technique and you can easily do it without using a crochet hook. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
love, especially the long tail ... had no idea you can do it this way, I am so at home with this for so many years, who knew? just wonderful teaching as always thanx
Thank you, Barbara! Happy knitting, my friend :-)
This is so helpful - your explanations are so clear and easy to follow; I’m a fairly new knitter and this is going to help me a lot - thank you!! 🙏
Thank you, Penelope :-) I'm so glad that you find this tutorial helpful. Happy knitting, my friend!
I return and return to you, Maryna. You always answer my knitting questions. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. 💕
Excellent! I'll be doing Way #3 on my headband project, joined by the kitchener stitch. Thank you!
You’re a great teacher! This is so helpful.
Oooh, thank you so much :-)
Yet another technique that made no sense until I found your tutorial. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. This was by far the best and easiest video I have found on provisional cast on method. I really appreciated your clear and concise descriptions. It was very easy to follow!! Much appreciated!
You are most welcome, my friend :-) I am happy I could help.
As always I am extremely impressed with your talents. These 3 methods take the headache out of provisional cast on. I will not be passing over patterns now - the first method is my fave. Now when I start a project, I go searching to see if you have a genius technique to make knitting simpler. Thank you!
Thank you, Debbie :-) Happy knitting, my friend!
Oh, if only I'd found you before I did the crochet hook method. Methods one and two are so much simpler. Thank you.
I'm so glad you like these ways to make a provisional cast on. Thank you, Jo-Anne :-)
Thank you! These are so much easier than using a crochet hook!
Great video. Provisional cast on I learned with crochet hook, I often end up with some split yarn. These methods, being as they are more like actual knitting or casting on, don't have that problem. Goodbye crochet hook. Thank you.
Thank you. Loved the commentary.
You are most welcome, Diane :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks for this excellent tutorial, it was extremely clear and very well presented. I appreciate your work so much.
Thank you, Lesley :-)
Your tutorials are absolutely brilliant ~ and this one in particular has REALLY helped me ~ so clearly explained ~ thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much! 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words :-) I'm happy this tutorial helped you. Happy knitting, my friend!
Simple easy explanation for provisional cast on.
Thank you for this video, most helpful I’ve found and im so excited I FINALLY know how to do this cast on.
Thank you, Jenn. I'm so happy to hear that this tutorial helped you to master provisional cast on :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks so much for the great video. The long tail provisional cast on is just what I was looking for! I tried one with a crochet hook & it was taking forever (I have 156 sts to cast on & was dreading it!). Many thanks.
You are most welcome, Carolyn. I'm happy this tutorial was helpful. Happy knitting!
Su clase me ha sido de gran ayuda, muchas gracias y saludos desde México.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this! Somehow I can never get a Crocheted Provisional Cast-On to "unzip" like it's supposed to and the first two ways here look SOOO much easier!! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much - I'm left handed and have struggled for years with this but managed your method on the first attempt (option 3)
So happy to hear that, Ali. Happy knitting :-)
Thank you, this is fantastic to see multiple ways of doing the same thing. I plan on trying all three to see what is best for me. Your post was perfect timing for I just decided today to try this. I am subscribing to you I like how you teach!
Thank you for subscribing, Denise :-) I'm happy you enjoy my tutorials. I'll keep them coming :-)
10rowsaday I will certainly be watching! Thank you!
Thanks for a very good tutorial 👏👏👏👏
Excellent tutorials! I always visit your channel first when I encounter a new (to me) technique.
Thank you so much for your trust in my tutorials, Alison! I appreciate it a lot. Thank you :-)
Really useful tutorial, thanks!
Very helpful. Thank you very much.
I wish to Thank you for sharing how to do 3 ways of provisional cast on. I have been wondering if I could find a way to double a child's sleeve cuff without having to sew it and viola you showed me the way. I tried it this afternoon and it worked a treat. I chose the long tail provisional cast on, and I bet that I will use it again. Thank you very much.
Thank you for 3 clear methods that avoid a crochet hook. You've made casting on 96 stitches so simple!
You are very welcome, June. I am happy I could help 🙂
Awesome thank you so much, excellent methods!
loved this!! thank you so much! I finally learned how to do this!
I'm so glad I could help you master the provisional cast on :-) Happy knitting, Charlotte!
I loved the the long-tail method. Thank you
Thank you, Lubna :-)
@@10rowsaday Until your video, I was having a lot of difficulty with provisional cast-ons.
Never heard of provisional cast on until now as mentioned in the pattern. So I searched the net & came up with few options, mostly using the crochet hook which was a nightmare for me. But Gods smiled on me as I came across your video 😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊
Can't thank you enough. I'm well on my way with my project. Thanks 😊 🎉🎉
Thank you, Zahida. I am happy I could help :-)
Looks so much easier and straightforward to undo and pick up the stitches than with a crocheted provisional cast on where when removing it and picking up the live stitches I’ve struggled with having to correct both twisted stitches and dropped stitches.
Thank you so much for this video! I'll be using Method #3 from now on.
Thank you, Merryl :-) Happy knitting!
Great video
Very good. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I am left handed so struggle with a crochet hook as I want to hold it in my left and right hand and make a chain so tight it is impossible to then put the stitches on a knitting needle. This is much more straightforward. I will definitely use this method in future.
Glad it was helpful, Laura. Happy knitting!
Fabulous!!
Very beautiful hands🌺 Thanks, very helpful info. 🌼🌺🌸
The long tail provisional cast on is the BEST
Thank you
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this, I have a unique situation, in that I knit right handed and crochet left handed, so using a crochet hook was difficult.
I'm happy I could help :-)
I knit right-handed too and crochet left-handed. I think it's because I am left-handed and I taught myself to crochet but a righty taught me to knit.
Thank you for the tutorial 😁
The last method you demonstrated is my favourite and should be my go-to for provisional cast on. I like that it's secure at the start which is quite important to me. Retrieving the live stitches may take a little longer than other 'styles' but the result is the same. Thanks again
I agree Helen A. I also find my tension more even when I use the long tail provisional cast on.
I always found the crochet hook method very awkward. Thank you so much for the demonstration of the EASY Long Tail Prov. CO.
Thank you, Corinne. I'm happy I could help :-)
You are a genius
Thank you, Ruth 🙏 You are very kind. Thank you.
Thanks for the video of the long tail provisional cast on. The crotchet needle doesn't work for me in that I can never find all of the bumps on the spine. I've been hunting all over for an alternative method, and yours seems the easiest.
Happy to help. Bob :-)
Great video! I gave a like and subscribe for sure. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thank you, Angie :-)
Thank u
good job @
Thank you, Emma :-)
Thank you , this was so helpful. I used the long tail method. I find using a crochet hook so awkward .
This is a great tutorial.. Thank you!
Thank you, Michele :-)
Came across your video again and wanted you to know a way that the provisional stitches can go on a circular needle. Though you might use the cable of the needle to cast on provisional stitches in either of the first two methods, the long tail would not work. But since I've been making provisional cast on for toe up German Short Row socks, I do a Jenny's Magic Cast On. You can either knit the toe then with double points which I prefer or the ends of the long circular. The needle size for dpns and the circular needle has to be the same. No fuss, the cable of the needle can't get fuzzy and you are ready to knit. This cast on may not be ideal for every situation but I like it and the stitches are all mounted correctly. I do start my GSR heel on the wrong side. I tried also the twin stitch of shadow stitch which looks the same on the front, but it leaves more a ridge on the other side. I like them both, good to know both.
Thank you for sharing. Jenny's Magic Cast on is a great way to cast on stitches for toe up socks. I also often use a cast on explained in this video tutorial - ua-cam.com/video/qCBzIkveX2g/v-deo.html Happy knitting :-)
I loved this video, thank you. I think I'd prefer the #3 (LTPC) method since I already is the Longtail CO often and I like the fact the scrap yarn is really secure. Have you knit the 1898 hat? I think you would make the clearest video on knitring it up.. I'm going to check out your videos and see if you have. I wish we were friends and could sit and knit together.
Here's a little secret,
I'm curious if you're a good cook, I was hoping to find cooking videos for Authentic recipes. ;)
Hi Shelly. Thank you so much for introducing me to the 1898 hat design. I've just googled it and it looks warm and comfortable - a perfect hat for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors. The pattern by Kristine Byrnes seems to be well-written and pretty straightforward.
I would love to sit and knit with you, Shelly. Maybe one day we'll figure out a way to get together (most likely, virtually).
As to the cooking, I do love to cook and experiment with different recipes. If you are looking for authentic Eastern European recipes, I find the book "Mamushka" by Olia Hercules very helpful. Have fun :-)
Thank you for this tutorial, learned a lot from it, one question though, which one of the three ways can you suggest I do when separating body and sleeves and when I have to cast on for sleeves? Thank you.
Any of the three ways will work for casting on stitches at the underarm. I usually use the first way, simply because I've been using it for years and it is the first technique that comes to my mind when I need to do provisional cast on. The third way provides the neatest look. It is a bit fiddly when we need to release the stitches later on, but it shouldn't be a big issue for the underarm segment because there are not that many stitches there. In general, the choice is all yours. Try all of these ways and see which one feels more comfortable to you. Happy knitting :-)
Great tutorial. Thank you.
The first two methods, could they be used while knitting in the round on 16 inch circulars for hats?
Yes, Shruti, you can use these ways to cast on stitches for working in the round. But, be very careful not to twist stitches before you start knitting. Provisional cast on is quite flimsy, and stitches could easily get twisted. To make it easier, consider working one row before you join stitches for working in the round. Good luck :-)
@@10rowsaday Thankyou
Thank you for this video. I need to do a provisional cast on and then knit 3 rows using the waste yarn according to my pattern. I’m casting on 160 sts in the round. Which cast on do you recommend?
Any of the three cast ons explained in this video will work. Try each of them on a small swatch, and choose the one that feels more comfortable to you. Happy knitting!
10rowsaday thank you.
Love how easy you make this look. Number 3 works best for me. Question, do you knit 1 row across before starting your pattern? Or go straight to pattern from the cast on?
Hi Cheryl. I usually work the pattern right from the first row. If you knit all stitches in the first row, this row of knits will stay between the two sections of your project when you pick up stitches from the provisional cast on. You might want to avoid that to keep your pattern uninterrupted. Happy knitting :-)
Does the working yarn on the needle count as the first row of regular stitches?
Usually, it doesn't. The first row is the row you knit after you cast on the number of stitches required for the project.
Hello! thank you for your video. With the long tail provisional cast on can that work when you knit in the round? My pattern tells me to provisionally cast on 256 stitches and then join in the round. Do you knit a round before joining with this cast on or do I join in the round immediately after casting the required amount on? The first row of my pattern after joining in the round is colourwork. Can you please advise whether I immediately join in the round or knit 1 row first? Thank you
Hi Leslie. It is much easier to join stitches in the round after we work one row. It will leave a small gap at the beginning of the round, but you can easily fix it by making one or two overhand "bridge" stitches before you weave in the tail. Happy knitting!
I have cerebral palsy and I am right hand and when I do my cast on I use my left hand to hold the needle if that make sense can you make one for people like me ?
I've heard from other left-handed knitters, that you can a knitting video makes sense when you watch it in a mirror. Try placing a mirror next to your computer so that the screen is visible in the mirror, turn the video on and watch how the instructions are displayed in the mirror. I hope it helps. Happy knitting, Kim :-)

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for the video. Now to work on that project I've been putting off.
