Jogless Cast On in the Round // Technique Tuesday
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- This video demonstrates how to cast on in the round using the long tail cast on (LTCO) so that the jog is minimized, and the tail is woven in to maintain the continuity of the edge.
Four common methods to minimizing the jog are demonstrated briefly, with my favorite three-trick technique demonstrated in detail.

This is so helpful, especially since you show not only the various techniques, but also highlight the differences between the results. Your videos are always so clear and useful. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. I was taught to knit by my mother, my aunts and my grandmother. It did not stick! Eventually an Austrian lady taught me when I was 18 to knit in the continental manner and that worked. But then I learnt to crochet, and gave up knitting. Recently my youngest niece had a daughter and I wanted to knit some things for her. The knitting was fine and there was rapturous clapping from 7 month old baby on receiving the gifts. But the cold wind doth blow ~ and she'd really like some beanie hats.
I've spent the last two days trying to knit in the round for the hat. I've undone it four times. Then I found your UA-cam video, and your written explanation. Happiness is a successful rib knit for this 71year old!
Not at all fussy!! I love it! Thank you so much. I also love the extent of detail you provide.
Your technique is GOLD and you teach it so clearly!!
Finally! A clear and concise explanation of creating a smooth edge. Thanks. Your videos are excellent
When a lovely German lady taught me the long tail cast on she didn’t use a slip knot, so, I never have. What I have not done before is to twist that first stitch or to make that first stitch the last in the round. That’s neat and I’m certainly going to have a go.
One trick I do for almost all cast on when using the cable method is to cast on two extra stitches, then drop the first two stitches that were cast on. That eliminates the knot and makes for a neater beginning. Dropping two stitches is easier than dropping one.
Thank you for this.
Yep, I have a video on that technique for the cable cast on! :-)
I've been knitting for over 16 years and this is a game changer for me. Thank you!
Thank you for putting the times AND titles in the description box, that helps me a lot!
UA-cam taught me how to knit during pandemic. The more I knit, the more I really don’t know how to knit. (Walking on knots in my socks). Weaving in ends didn’t seem like they’d stay after so many washings. This is very helpful for having nice edge & no knots❣️Thanks!
I find your videos so informative and EASY to understand. I can't wait to try this technique .
You have the best knitting tutorials ever, super well explained, and in a clear and thoughtful way. I'll be trying your 3-step method in just a few minutes.
Very informative. I'm saving this video.
This is simply the best technique for jogless join in the round. So logical, and so easy! Thanks!!
You're very welcome!
Thank you Roxanne. Your lessons are always so helpful ❤️
really learned so much. LOVE LOVE the interview and demonstrations!!!
Brilliant video - thank you so much for all of these super clear options!
The best jogless join I've seen, thank you!
Fantastically useful video! Thank you very much for sharing this.
Thanks for the tips! I really like your 3 tip finish!
Hi Roxanne, thank you so much for your teaching of this method to us. One could be tempted to want to keep all their secret tricks for self but not you. Again, I have learned something new with you. If I could of put two thumbs up I would of.👌
Fantastic! Thank you very much for this ! This is the best method ever!
Excellent! You are such a superb knitter and teacher!
Your videos are always so-o-o-o helpful. You are a great blessing to every knitter.
Im so grateful for this detailed video ! 💚
I love this its the best description of joining in the round and what happens thanks so much!
Thank you for giving me many options for cleaning up my in the round work. Looking forward to trying them all.
Thank you ❤🎉😊
Yep, I really like your method!! Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial. Like you, I don't use slip knots either. I will definitely try your '3' step technique, as I am always happy to run into new techniques.
They're really simple steps, but the way it fixes the issue is so impressive. Love this video.
I've only just discovered your channel. Thank you, this is very helpful.
Great video - clear and easy to follow. I learned something new and I have been knitting for 45 years!
The best jobless cast on in the round so far😊 Thank you
I have recently discovered your excellent videos . They are so good that my goal now is to view every single one just to catch all your helpful tips. Your voice is so calming!
Thank you for this new method of casting on and joining in the round.the finished product looks so much nicer. Will definitely give this a try.
I really love this type of video. Full of things for me to try out. I am pretty sure I will prefer the three step one at the end - the one you like. Thank you for giving us soooo much information - I feel fortunate to have found you.
I can't wait to try these three tricks!
Thank you so much for this video. I used your 3 step method on a pair of socks but it will be my go-to cast on for my knitting in the round projects.
Excellently done; explained and demonstrated.
Thank you, Roxanne! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Thank you so much for this video.
I did your 3 trick technique for a jogless cast on in the round for a hat I just finished and it worked like a charm!
This is now my go-to method for knitting in the round!
I just KNEW there had to be a better way of casting on rather than the slipknot when knitting in the round. I've been teaching myself to knit and am so glad I found your videos. Thank You!
Yours is the best and most clear explanation I've seen, and believe me, I've seen quite a few! Sure wish I had found yours years ago! Thanks ever so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is a great video. I am a long time knitter and your 3 tip finish is the cats meow!
Excellent explanation ❣️ Thank you 🙏🏻
Your Tutorials are great .... thank you very much !!!
Such great video. I like that Roxanne walks through each of the options to demonstrate the differences in outcome. I just used her three step trick with a chunky yarn; it worked beautifully.
Thank you for this explanation! I recently got back into knitting after learning 9 years ago after doing my first few projects. And now I'm back! I remember those jogged edges well.... lol. Now I know how to prevent those as I love on to more projects!
Thank you for sharing! 💕
Hello Roxanne, I really lucky to have come across your amazing video before I kick start my very knitted cowl using circular needle. I haven't had idea there are some ways making the round seamlessly. Your explanation is precise and clear. Your videos are great treasures for the knitting lovers with beginner or the intermediate skill level. Please keep it up. Hats off to you!
This is completely brilliant!!
Brilliant. I've been waiting for someone to teach me this!
Glad I found this video before my 1st circular needle project. Thank you!
Thanks Rox - really useful. I will be using your version for my cast ons from now on ! great result 🥰
Thank you Roxanne, I tried more things that people put on the UA-cam, this is the best I found. Actually, I cannot imagine better Cast On. It is so nice that I can learn things from here and in couple of weeks knit just like any nice knitters
Brilliant! Thank you!
Ta da!! I love your technique!
love your method instead of the first 3 shown. thanks so much for doing this video.
Wow your technique looks great!
Love your method--so tidy!
I love that! Nice and clean!
My goodness! Thank you so much for your very clear step by step video. I've been knitting socks for about a year, and I have not been happy with my caston edge. I love your 3-step method so much more than the method I have been using. You have a new subscriber.
I'm so glad you like it! :-)
Your 3-step method is the simplest one I’ve found! Thanks for a very clear tutorial.
You're welcome!
I’m so sorry, I still cannot get the very last trick. I replayed it 3 times. It only looked like you knitted the first stitch but didn’t actually join because on my needles I don’t have a join???
Love your technique!
Nice to have different options. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you. This looks very good.
Yeah, this is how I’m doing my mitten edges from
now on, thank you!
(Also, I appreciated you showing your weaving in. I’ve woven in many tails but I am always kinda unsure because nobody ever showed me, I just taught myself through lots of trial and error. It was nice to see how you did it, I’ll try the column method for smoother finishing.)
Thank you sooo much, im cast on in your way "twisted" and the hat has aperfect join😍😍
Thank you for the explanation it's so simple to do.
I LOVE this “fix” so much!!! I’m a definite knitting knerd techy, and you’ve provided a genius way of mitigating that beginning jog that has long since bothered me. Thanks for the great, informative content! I’m a big fan!
I'm so glad you like it. It's one of my favorite techniques. (I do a lot of knitting in the round.)
If you want to get right to her three trick method, go to 5 minutes into the video. Love it!
So great! Thank you!
I have used all of the techniques you show before your three trick technique (sans slip knot, I just dip and twist like you do). I have not been satisfied with any of them. Yours looks beautiful! I'm about to cast on a new pair of socks - so glad I saw this first! Thank you for taking the time to share this.
I don't honestly remember the last time I used a slip knot for a long tail cast on. I usually just knit the first few stitches with both tail and working yarn and am hard pressed to find where I've joined after the project is finished. Nice tip, however. I may need to give it a try. Thanks!
Another great learning video and I at least saw that I was doing similar to you just from instinct Nice to see that my instincts were a good thing after watching you in this great teaching technique! ~~~Jo
Excellent tutorial with such clear photography.
I'm glad you liked it!
WOW...that last method, your preferred method is PERFECT! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
I find this fascinating as I learned the cable cast on, and never have any issues with tidy joins or guessing where to start so as not to run out of yarn. but love watching your problem solving.
So excellent!
thank you for this video! A lot of videos or patterns say weave in the ends and I have just tried my best to hide the ends and make it look nice but sometimes not. Love your last method.
I've tried just about every trick online and none ever quite work. I can't wait to make something in the round and do this, plus showing your finishing was so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you! I will use this technique.
Excellent! Thank you!
Thanks for this assistance!
WOW! This is GREAT! Thanks!
Thank you, this last method works perfectly for me.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why they call her Rox. She rocks! (I watched without the sound on--no headset/hubby sleeping) and understood perfectly. Amazing tricks...wait for it.
Fabulous solution to an irritating problem! Thanks!
That’s really useful. I am going to use your technique
Excellent!
Wonderful technique! I never use a slipknot anyway, so I can just incorporate the rest of your 3-step technique to my finishing Thanks, Roxanne :)
Thanks a lot of your sharing.
Love your sweater!
I enjoyed the helpful tips, thank you.
thanks for sharing!
Excellent video!! Thanks you!
Thank you!
Very nice!!
