    Just came across this channel. I kind of like the way that Caxton looks. I’ll have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing.

    Never seen this before, but I’m going to use it from now on, for hats or other things. Very doable and looks nice.

      yes I find this method much easier than things like the tubular cast on! hope you like it!

    Any tips on how to make it in the round?? Looks great but just wondering how to join to work in the round for top down. Thanks so much.

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I Just join it and then use the yarn tail to disguise the join, any other joining techniques tend to make this join more obvious! I'll be releasing a video next week on using this cast on for 2x2 rib and I show how I disguise the join in that one..

  • @bronwendavies943
    @bronwendavies943 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That’s a very different way of casting on to the way I use (which is the only one I know). However, because knitting top-down socks is a current favourite knitting project, I will try this when I start my next pair. Thank you.

    Is preparing for 2x2 rib a simple matter of casting two purls alternately with two knits?

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, sadly that doesn't work. You need to cast on for 1x1 then rearrange the stitches as you work, think of groups of 4 sts, k1, cross two stitches over so you get k1, p1, then you should have purl left....does that make sense?. I've jut made a video on it. I have to edit it but I'll reply to you when its out!

    Can you remove the original slip knot once you are done casting on? Or is the original slip knot just not visible once joined in the round?

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You can remove it if you want to, remember to have an extra stitch at the end, and if you need your round to start K1,P1, once you have your two stitches cast on, start the cast on with a k1(instead of a P1) as the slip know stitch will be lost, causing a shift in pattern at the start of the round, does that make sense?

    • @Bobbakerfield
      @Bobbakerfield 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@helenkennedydesigns Yes that makes sense. I'm going to give this a shot on the second hat I've ever maid. I just finished my first magic loop hat. It was shorter than I needed it to be and I didn't do any ribbing on it. So this looks like perfect thing I need to make a stretchy rib so the hat won't curl. My main concern is making the slip knot invisible. If I'm understanding it correctly if I needed 102 stitches I'd cast on 102 stitches not including the slip knot. It wouldn't need an extra stitch if I was already planning on removing the slip knot. When you joined the round did you just knit the first stitch cause it was the slip knot? I just want the pattern to look as symmetrical as a spiral can. So trying to figure out how you hid the start.

    I don't throw, i pick. And i want 2x2..... help?

    • @helenkennedydesigns
      @helenkennedydesigns  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Hannah. I'm sorry I don't pick, but this cast on uses the same basic movements as a knit and purl stitch, just that you insert the needle between stitches rather than through the loop so in theory you should be able to work this cast in using your usual knitting style. As for 2X2 you cast on in exactly the same way (1X1) but then rearrange the stitches so you get 2X2. So work a knit stitch, next two stitches swap places so instead of being p1, k1, you cross them over to get k1, p1, work those two stitches, next stitch should be a purl...so then you have k2, p2....etc hope that makes sense...try it out probably makes more sense if you actually do it!
