I don't even know why I bother with other tutorials, as you, Stacy are the QUEEN of explaining knitting or crochet issues!
I agree with you. I come back to this channel every time I need help. The only thing that confuses me sometimes is that she knits the English way and I am a continental knitter. 😊
I have been knitting for 55 years. I am amazed that I have never even heard of this. Bought a pattern today which called for a provisional cast on. I almost rejected it because I didn't know how. Found this tutorial and am about to start it

This video is two days older than when I first successfully started knitting. I was in my final exam in the 7th grade knitting with an overused neon green acrylic yarn and a Monggol No. 2 pencil and a red pencil for my knitting needles. I will never forget that day. ❤️ This channel has made me the knitter I am today, nine years later.
I started knitting in 7th grade too
Thank you so, so much for all your awesome knitting videos! You are always my "go to" when I need something explained in a simple and understandable way. I don't know how many times I've gone to other knitting tutorials that only explain how to do part of something leaving me confused as to what the next step is. You always go the extra step so there's no question as to how or why. Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge and know-how for us!
That is a great way of doing this. I always love your tutorials. Your easy to listen to and so well spoken. Thank you for all you give to the knitting community.
I have been, or so l thought, an accomplished knitter for over 30 years but l have learned so many tips and tricks in the past few months through your channel...thank you for all your work.
Whenever I need knitting help, I specifically search for your videos-you’re my go-to! Thanks for making such lovely and helpful videos.
Very Pink Knits....Thank you for your wonderful demonstration of provisional cast on. Your site is my go to for knitting instructions. You are clear and concise and not too chatty as you get right to the point!!!! LOL
Learned something new I have been knitting for 72 years. Never to old to learn and saw it on a new pattern now it makes Sense. Thank you so much.
I have been avoiding a provisional cast on forever. Been knitting since 1994. Whenever I read the instructions I think I'm not doing all that. I always like the easy way out! So this was wonderful and instead of just not doing the provisional cast on and doing something else I'm going to do this today I'm knitting a beret. My motto is keep it simple and I will always turn to you when I have questions. Thanks for taking time to do this!!!
Thank you for the clear and concise instructions. I've been knitting for years but rarely use this technique. I was using another provisional cast on but my wool (Sugar Bush Bold) kept separating. This is by far the best method.
I'm puzzled why anyone would bother looking at any other TH-cam feed for knitting tutorials. You're simply the best!
Excellent instructions. Film is clear, she speaks clearly and works slow enough to follow but not to slow. Thank you!!!!1
I was recently gifted a pattern that called for a provisional cast on (a new technique for me, so I was a little bit daunted!), and I have found your tutorial so easy to follow! Thank you so much 🙂
I always like to have two projects at least going at one time. So I' m starting a sweater that needed provisional cast for the hem. Your tutorials are so easy to follow and easy for most everyone to understand. Thank you very much, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! :)
I just bought a pattern that calls for this and I’ve NEVER done it. The pattern creator demonstrates it in a blog post but I dont learn well like that, this was SO helpful!! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for a clear explanation and demonstration of this technique. I’ve been avoiding using this and patterns that say, “start with a provisional cast on”.
Thank you for this video, made it easy for me to learn provisional cast-on. This method for provisional cast-on also was much easier to ensure I didn’t twist my work when joining in the round. I used a crochet hook to do the cast-on into the chain too, as I found getting the stitches through the chain too slow with the needle - hope I don’t find that was a mistake when I get to the end! Fortunately I have crochet hook ends for my cables (for Tunisian crochet), so was able to just replace the hook for the needle after I’d cast-on.
Thank you so much for your quick reply and for the help. I was able to find the video you mentioned and was able to recover my stitches and then join using your kitchener stitch video. Using the white table under your knitting really helps to be able to see what you are doing! Thanks for your great tutorials!
Después de tres horas intentando hacer esto y luego de ponerme a llorar de frustración, el cielo se iluminó cuando vi su video, MUCHAS GRACIAS, lo hace tan simple y fácil que de verdad se entiende a la primera. Un saludo desde el Norte de México =)
Thank you for your knitting videos. These have helped me get back into knitting after many years. Your demonstrations are easy to understand and follow.
I can't tell you how many of your videos have answered whatever knitting question I have had. Thank you so much for explaining things so well!
I love your videos. They explain why a technique is used plus they show exactly how to do it. I live quite far from a LYS and when I get stuck, my only recourse is youtube. Thank you for making your videos available and for your excellent presentation.
When the provisional cast on was recommended for seaming round dishcloths, of course I came to TH-cam. And, when I saw that you had a video on the technique, Staci, that is the video I selected. You make everything look so easy! Why was I so intimidated by the provisional cast on before??? Thank you! Can't wait to knit up another round dishcloth so I can try this.
When I saw PCO for a hat I thought “Oh my Gosh” looking for your video in my search…I knew you would do your best to make this easy for me and you absolutely did!! Thank you so much! Love the knot idea!
Great tutorial. Can't tell you how many other videos I watched that made little sense and didn't work for me. Got the hang of this in just a few minutes -- thank you!!
Thanx for explaining WHY I would use a provisional cast on. Seen several videos but no one explained why is would use it.
Wow! I just found this! What a genius way of doing the provisional cast on and it looks sooooo much easier than most other videos I’ve seen. Thank you so much. 😊
Thanks so much ☺️ I always find your videos whenever I need to learn a new technique
An easier way to do that -- so you don't have to fiddle with finding the spine parts of the chain -- is to chain a couple of stitches with the waste yarn, then hold your knitting needle with the point up in your left hand and crochet chain around it for the number of stitches you need in your cast on. Then just chain a couple extra and tie off the chain. The spine parts are already around your needle, and you can start the first knit row with your project yarn and go.
Brilliant!
Do we think this would work in the round? Maybe be connecting the chain when making live stitches? This cast on is KILLING me, and I think this is the first tutorial that makes sense!!
It does work in the round, you don't have to join it. You join with the first row (round) of stitches.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I tend to avoid provisional cast on as I always make a mess somehow,
I have never seen it done this way before , I am so glad that I did today, so much easier for me Thank you again
So straight forward in your demos and explanations- always look for you for a technique! Thank you!
You’re videos are my go to when written instructions don’t include illustrations. Could not move past knitting scarfs without your videos 😊
Thank you so much!! I have to do a provisional cast on and as a newer knitter, I was terrified. This makes complete sense to me and makes it so much easier than other methods I've seen.
This is so much better then the other kind of provisional cast on method. Thanks for the great video.
This is so much easier than using waste yarn or an interchangeable needle cable. THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for posting this. I had just found a pattern that needed a provisional cast-on and I couldn't find any really informative way of going about it. Now I know. Thank you
Thanks for the video. I just love all the bright and colorful yarns you use in your tutorials :)
Oh my gosh!! Thank you SO much for showing this. I had been doing the provisional cast on by tying scrap yarn and knitting yarn together and doing some fancy needle twisting as someone else shows on TH-cam. This is much easier to understand and so much neater in all aspects. You have a new subscriber !! ❤️
Great work! Your instructions are so clear. I am working on a hat pattern that calls for a provisional cast on. I will try this technique as it does appear to be easier than others I have seen. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the “tie a knot in the tail” trick. I started a knitting project that I am just now able to get back to and it’s been almost a full year. I came back to this video to find out why I tied a knot in that end hahaha.
i was struggling so much with the traditional provisional cast-on, but this is perfect - keeps my tension even, and holds the stitches in place!! thanks so much!
This is the video, of all of them that I have watched, that clicked for me. Thank you so much!
Do you have a video to show the next step, how to get the stitches onto a needle again to work them? I tried and then did the kitchener stitch following your video but I don't think I put them onto the needle correctly.
you are one of go to references in learning a new skill...you never disappoint!!!!
Thanks for your provisional cast - on tutorial! This was by far the easiest for me to do and remember!
Simply genius! Thank you!
Excellent and concise! I love your tutorials.
You make this technique very clear. Thank you.
This is the best Provisional cast on EVER!!
Always terrific tutorials-- maybe you can help with this as well? When I unravel the provisional cast on at the end of my work, it never unzips (always gets tangled and has to be manually pulled out--just read your note below and will try that tip!) and then I am always short one stitch on the original cast on edge! Always! I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
+Erin Correale - you want to be sure to follow all of the steps I show in the video - start picking up stitches from the slip knot end, and the first stitch will always be wonky (with the yarn running through it).
Thanks soooo much!! This is, for me, the clearest & easiest tut on Provisional cast on.
Thank you so much. You're always my go to for knitting something i think i can never do.
Great tutorial! Seems like an easy sure way to get a provisional cast on. Thank you
Thank you for this method of provisional cast on. It is so much simpler then the other ones I've just seen. The other method was too confusing.
Thank you for another great instructional video
As always, SO CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW! Thank you so much!!!
I really appreciate your tutorials. They are clear, easy to follow, and so very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the awesome video
Also I think a fair tip is to do the crochet chain looser than you think it should be..that's how I made it work :) thank you again
Hi Kristen - you need to leave a long enough tail (6 inches, at least) so that there isn't a chance of this tail unraveling from that end. I'm guessing that you're using a slippery yarn - using a wool or wool blend will give you enough "stick" to keep things from slipping out. I really hope that helps you - good luck!
Thank you so much for this video, it is not the first one from your channel I found to be a major help, in fact the structured and well planed instructions have helped me several times. I am so grateful that you produce and share this!
I am a beginner and I plan to buy patterns from you to further learn more and knit along you instructions.
Very helpful, thank-you. So simple. So clever.
So simple and clear. Thanks!!
Again VeryPink Knits saves the day!
Great & very clear tutorial, the only thing I'm left wondering is why you'd need to cast on (or crochet-on) several more of these provisional crochet stitches than you actually need to cast on? There must be a reason for this, but that's not told here ;)
I was worried a 4 minute explanation would be overwhelmingly fast. But wow, super informative & intuitive. Thanks!
Thank you! Working on some fingerless gloves and it calls for provisional cast on 😊
What size yarn and hook would you use for the chain if you're knitting with fingering weight yarn? Love your videos!
Thank you for this video ... today is my first time trying provisional cast-on in a pattern.
Love this tutorial.
This looks easy and I haven't seen this technique before! Thank you a really great way to remember how to do a provisional cast on!
That is the easiest one I have found to do!! Thank you so much! :-)
Great Video, easy to follow! Thanks : )
Thanks for such a helpful video
Thank you so much. I get frustrated with knitting patterns that assume you know things like this. I will need to practice the crochet chain because I KNIT I don't crochet, but that's another issue.
Thanks so much! I've been looking for this tutorial of your provisional cast on! I don't know how I missed this one! Thanks 🌻
You're welcome! Thank you for the nice note!
i love ur videos u literally have no idea how much i have learned from you hehehe
Excellent, clear description/demonstration - THANK YOU!!!!!
Hi staci, I was wondering about the half stitch off when you pick up the live stitches... Do you have a video for that? Thank you!
My go-to cast-on for starting a toe-up sock,....thanks!
Love this so much. I'm planning to use it for a linen stitch cowl tube knitted in the round. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much! Great video
Thank you! Another knitting mystery revealed. :-)
Is there a different provisional co using waste yarn to join in the round where you actually use the waste yarn to knit the first 2 rows prior to joining the main color or yarn to be used for project?
When wrapping the yarn over the needle for the first pull-through, does the tail go over the top or under the bottom of the needle? It seems to me that it would make a difference on how the yarn would then lock into place when you purl across.
I love your videos. What size crochet do you use (same, bigger or smaller than the needles)? Does the scrap yarn has to be the same weight as your project yarn?
Thank you! this was very helpful! Now I will be able to make those many items I hesitated to make!!
love your videos, they have helped me a lot learning to knit. always really informative and easy to understand. Thank you
Quick and to the point. Thanks so much.
Looks so easy! One question, when making a cowl, often the bind off (like a regular pass over bind off) does not match the cast on (like a long tail). I read that if you do a provisional cast on, you can make the cast on look just like the bind off. When going back to the provisional cast on to make it look like a bind off, do you knit it with the tail or do you go back to the working ball of yarn? Thank you!
I just learn something new
Thanks! I am using wool, but only had a couple of inches worth of tail. I'll start again with a longer tail this time. So eventually I'll just weave that tail end in?
Thanks for responding!
If you mount your stitches incorrectly when un zipping a provisional cast on does it make your purl stitch unrecognisable? I can’t see my purl stitch
I love your sweater on this video! Do you have a pattern for it?
Great. Thank you.
Thank you. Excellent tutorial.
When you are finished adding in your main yarn, does that count as your first row of knitting, or is that still considered the "casting on" part?
For this provisional CO, getting the loops on the needles in your main yarn color would be part of the CO, and not the first row/round.
Great video. This method seems easier than the others. But I have a question... What do you do with the tail of the working yarn that is loose on the end where you started picking up the stitches? Mine is loose and is threatening to start unraveling my knitting from the starting end.
Thanks!
