2x2 Tubular Cast On in the Round
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- This knitting tutorial shows how to work my favorite cast on for sweaters- the Tubular Cast On! The setup is the same as for 1x1 ribbing, we just add one more setup round to juggle the stitches around into the correct order. Happy knitting!

Thank you for this tutorial! I have a tip if anyone is uncomfortable with dropping off stitches and pinching them like I am. Another way to do it is to insert your needle as if to K2tog, so into the 2nd stitch on the left needle (which is a knit) and then continue inserting through the 1st stitch (which is a purl), slip them off so they are both on your right needle. Then insert your left needle into the purl stitch only, as it is now the 1st stitch on the right needle, and slip that stitch back to your left needle. The knit stitch is now twisted and on your right needle, so slip it back to your left needle and untwist it, and then knit it like usual! Or if you slip it back and leave it twisted, you can knit it through the back loop.
Excellent guide for this method which is quite tricky to start with. A really good pace and everything was made so clear. Thank you
You are the very best at tutorials. Thanks a bunch
Best video of this technique over the whole internet! And I've seen many in my efforts to learn it.. Thanks so much :)
i had a lot of trouble casting on over 200 sts for the trinigan cardigan since the stitches kept twisting on the cable (chiaogoo needles). if you have this problem too and happen to have Denise interchangeable needles, try with those. they saved me a lot of trouble since the cables are stiff and as thick as the needles themselves. once i was done with the first few rows i swapped to my usual chiaogoo needles and everything went smooth
I have been obsessed with tubular cast ons recently. I just think it looks so polished and professional. Thank you for this video!
Thanks so much! Your voice is so calming and clear when you teach & I love learning from you! Thanks again your a blessing !
Perfect. You're a great teacher. Starting the Illuminate.
Excellent instructions! Thanks for all of the repetition and going slowly!
Excellent explanation of how to join in the round with an Italian tubular cast on without using Magic Loop! Thank you so much!
Oh wow!! Thank you SO much for these tutorials Andrea 🤩 I have now tried and succeeded at a tubular cast on and nailed the juggling to make it 2x2 rib 😁 Now to move beyond a sample swatch and cast on the Weekender Light 😁
Very calm, lovely voice, and easy to follow. Thanks again🌷
wonderful clear instructions, thanks so much! 💗
Thank you so much on the technique I will definitely be doing the tubular cast on and bind off.
All I have is yarn wrapped around a needle. I have watched 3 videos and am now saying F it. I'll just do a long tail cast on.
I can not thank you enouch for al your tips, and informations. I always look forward for your " i knit if i wount 2" podcast!
This was so clear and helpful, Andrea -- thank you!!!!
So happy you find it helpful!
Thank you Andrea, very helpful. 👍
Beautiful tutorial! Thank you
Brilliant!😍 Thanks for the tip!:)
Thanks Andrea! Getting ready to cast on Illuminate and I needed this as a refresher. So excited! :)
GREAT tutorial! Such an awesome tip on how to do this without the cable needle ;). Just brilliant! Casting on my Illuminate tonight!
Glad it was helpful!
You do great tutorials!
Thank you!
You make it look so easy 😅 , when you got lots of stitches to cast on , is it easier to use jumperneedels/straight needles? With the cable all stitches just get totally twisted for me and its impossible to even see what stitch it is when I start ro knit
Great video❤😊
Super! Thank You very much:)
Thank you💞.
Thank you! Very clear and easy to understand!
like a meditation ☺
Hi - you dont have to take the yarn to the front when lifting the purl stitch with yarn in front - you can just go under the the yarn with your right needle and lift the purl stitch off.
Its much quicker. In continental knitting.
Thanks Andrea I love your podcast - always so nice and friendly.
This is great! There are loads of 1x1 tubular cast on videos, but I can never find a 2x2!
Could you use the tubular cast on if you were doing a twisted rib after the set up rows. Thank you Your explanations and demos always make so much sense to me. Diane
Wow!
Do you recommend this for socks 🧦? Or do you think it is not really necessary, but better for sweaters? I guess it is good practice to do on sock just to get used to it for other thing. Thanks great tutorial
I’ve always used this for socks except that I have my own way of working it. In my opinion, it’s the best cast on for socks.
Is there a reason you don’t just caston with 2x2 and avoid all of the juggling later?
I get how to do this but they look twisted on the first row… I prefer the magic cast on method but nobody is telling me how to do that in the round on 2*2 rib!!
I thought I was going crazy- but at 3:35 for the purl stitch, you keep the SAME movement as always, but switch to CALLING it “over the finger, under the thumb” . In the beginning of the video, for purls you said “under the finger, over the thumb” - so it may help to turn the volume down & just watch what you’re doing for those getting confused. I had to write it down myself to keep on track 🤦♀️😆🙃
I watched your first video for tubular cast on when I started the Weekender Lite. It was impossible to cast on that many stitches and keep them straight. They were so small, I couldn't even count them much less work them. I don't have straight needles. Do you suggest buying some for this reason?
I got the exact same problem, on the weekender for cast on all the stitches just twist on the cable and it is impossible to know what stitch it is. So my weekender is still in a pile just waiting for my frustration to go away 😅
@@Sara-qy5bu I actually would a video by Very Pink Knits using waste yarn to cast on and it was doable.
I use a tubular cast on for most of my projects. I have my own way of working it using waste yarn and a ravel cord. It works well for any amount of stitches.
Andrea,
Do you have any pro tips for doing a tubular/sewn bind off in the round for a large circumference? Like the hem of a sweater? Leaving a long tail of yarn seems to get caught up when pulling it through my stitches ☹️.
Thank you 😊
I still use the long tail of yarn myself ;)
Do you work with only one yarn and dont remove anything in the end?
My second setup round starts with a purl. What do I do?
Is this flexible enough for a sock cuff?
It doesn't work for me... I have to cast on 88 sts. I finish with a knit st. But when I turn my needle to knit the first set up row I start with a purl st. Then I have to K2P2.
I can't help thinking that, instead of pinching, it would be easier to slip it on to a cable needle...
It's funny how "over" for one person is "under" for another. I guess it's to do with where you were just before. Here you use over and then under for exactly the same movement around the upper strand. The video is so good though and I now just cut the sound. I guess that makes me a visual learner as far as knitting is concerned.
I have thought much about this current 'in vogue' tubular cast on (and cast off) and I've decided that I actually don't want to use it. The tubular cast on is a way of mimicking commercial knitwear. And the commercial knitwear is produced that way because it's a cheap, fast way of trying to mimic hand knit garments. Why would I want to try to duplicate mass produced, fast fashion??
I am super confused - the title is for 2 x 2 rib cast on but the video (at 3:36) is doing one knit then one purl stitch...???
I’ve only got sound? No video
