Hi! I’m not sure that I’ve seen SSK written as SSK TBL, so I can’t say for absolute sure that it isn’t a separate technique. However, if I were knitting a pattern and I came across SSK TBL, I personally would work it as an SSK. What I would assume is that the designer is simply trying to give a bit of extra information through the abbreviation. SSK always includes knitting the stitches through the back loop at the end of the technique. When I define “SSK” in my abbreviations section of my patterns, I include the instructions: “ssk - slip knitwise, slip knitwise, slip back onto left needle, knit 2 together through back loop”. So my educated guess is that SSK and SSK TBL are the same technique, just one abbreviation gives you slightly more information. Hope this helps!

@ excellent thank you so much! I have this theory with knitting that if u misunderstand a stitch but stay consistent in your approach it turns out ok most of the time Lol!!! No, but I think you ARE right. My project is the Vite Cowl by Shalimar. Thanks again. Great video.

Thank you!

That’s wonderful-so glad I could help!

I find this cast on to have a pretty edge that resembles an icord edge (but this is much simpler!), and it creates a fairly stretchy edge. Plus I like how easy and quick it is to create, AND you don’t have to estimate how much of a tail you need before your start (aka long-tail cast on, etc.). However, it works best with garter fabric. I’m so happy to hear you’re learning how to knit-it’s such a fun and rewarding hobby! I hope my tutorials will help you on your journey. And, no, I am not Norwegian knitting, although I do hold my working yarn rather close to my knitting. This is just the version of Continental I have developed over the years that works best (and most efficiently) for me.

@@MountainSongDesigns thank you.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Aw, thank you. Me too!❤️

Thank you! I’d love to see them when you do!

How cool! I hope it works out!

True, though I find the first method to be plenty stretchy, especially considering the fabric this cast on works best with. The second two always seem a little bloated to me 😂 ❤️

@@MountainSongDesigns the way the yarn is wrapped in the longer way leaves working yarn on the right hook or needle with the right leg of the loop being the direction of the working yarn. In the simple wrap way it does not. Also in the long winded method, it appears people mostly untwist 180° but recently it been said its actually 360°🤣. yes both edges look the same but may not behave the same. Both will be great depending on yarn fibre and the stitch pattern of the fabric produced. The thing is here in the uk the publisher of cap sease book no longer exists and second hand copies of it are going for over £80. And cant find a ebook version. If any one has any idea on how to acquire it please help lol

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! Not every technique is for everybody, but if you change your mind, I hope it goes well!!!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I hope you love it as much as I do!

❤️Thank you! (And bless her for teaching us all!)

Oh wonderful! Thank you! I hope you love it❤️

The purpose of a cast on in knitting is to create stitches that you can then begin knitting from. Some attributes of this particular cast on include: it creates a lovely and finished looking edge, it is comfortably stretchy without puckering the fabric, and it is best used on garter rather than ribbing.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for checking out this video! I love this stitch. I hope it goes well for you!!

Thanks Kara!

Thank you! That tutorial is definitely on my to-make list!

Meghan, your reading style is so intense and epic-I love it! It’s neat to know you felt the same way about both the audio and written. It is definitely a story that pulls you in❤️‍🔥

Yes, Linda! I’m so glad to know I’m not alone💖

Thank you for watching! While you technically can use this cast on for ribbing, I would not generally recommend it. This cast on likes to lie flat, and ribbing usually doesn’t (this is primarily determined by the type of ribbing, the blocking method, and amount of negative ease when the item is worn).

Thank you! Happy knitting!

@@MountainSongDesigns Also...do you have a video on how to cast off with the same effect?

@@pinkypilot not yet, but it’s on the list!

Thank you! I hope you find it useful. 💖

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked that first technique!

Thank you so much, Kelly! 💖

Thank you! While this is not a stretchy cast on, I find it to be pleasantly flexible. I consider it in the middle ground of the cast-on flexbility range. I use it when I want to have a pretty edge that will hold its shape, but also have some ability to stretch.

Absolutely! Great suggestion❤️

Thank you so much! Best wishes to you as well💖
