THANK YOU!!! for being the only person to make a video on stretchy cast ons which doesn't unnecessarily complicate the method. Even the way you do the first slip knot, so many youtubers add a ridiculous number of steps to something which is practically a basic knot
Thank you Maryna - You have done it again. I am currently working on a pair socks and I have been away from knitting for a long time. Yes I pulled my cuff stitches out repeatedly until I felt I had made a decent cuff. Had I bothered to look at your wonderful instructions I would never have struggled. Your instructions are AMAZING. Thank you again. These socks are for my sister who hinted recently that her supply of socks were beginning to look a little tattered. She is going to be HAPPY thanks to you.
I watched several videos about jeny's stretchy cast on(even jeny's herself) but i could not understand clearly what to do until this one, so thank you very much!
I have watched so many videos and never been able to grasp the long tail cast on, normally I pick up things fairly quickly but I’ve never been able to quite get it. Watching you do it with a double tail made it instantly click! Thank you ❤ thank you ❤ thank yiu❤
Wow!!! not only are you are a great teacher, (who gives very clear directions as well as a visually crisp presentation).... but your methods blew me away! They are far superior to others I was attempting. I wasted a lot of time today trying to master the Italian CO, and not satisfied with its appearance, I tried the cabled alternating rib, and lastly finding one that was easier to start. But all three made those tiny V’swhich are tight and don’t sit nicely even when carefully knit. None of them are as elegant as each your three. You are my go to gal from now on. Thank you.
Thank you SO much! I’m a beginner and making hats. My favorite is your 3rd method. Such a beautiful edge. Your instructions were perfect and clear. Love this!
Thank you so so much. I was having so much trouble learning the Tubular Cast on but I remembered using this tutorial in the past. Thanks to you I was able to knit a stretchy cast on and get onto my knitting project!. I will learn that cast on at another time. Thanks again.
Such clear and concise instructions make it a pleasure to watch your videos. I'm going to try the 2nd one for some socks. I subscribed because I love your explanations.
I love your tutorials - they're so clear and easy to follow. I'm trying the first method in this stretchy cast on tutorial, and I'm surprised that simply doubling the tail would create stretch, but it does seem to work!!
Thank you so much! These are fantastic! Really great tutorial where all parts of the action we are supposed to learn is clear and perfectly visible! Love this so much
Thank you Maryna. Again I have to say your videos are so well done. I learn something on every one. I like that you go further in the technique details, and show what not to do (and why!) as well. Also we always say, “too bad for me, cuz.....”.... so I laughed when you said that. Looking forward to your next video. :)
Fantastic! These 3 cast ons are new to me, and I'll certainly be using them in my knitting. I especially like the 3rd one that you demonstrated; it really is a pretty edge. Thank you for another terrific video tutorial.
It’s so amazing. I kind of know that I don’t quite like the cast on I have been using, and I am glad that I found your video tutorial so that my future projects will have beautiful cast on and binding off which I applied new skills learned from you yesterday after I watched the video tutorial of stretch binding off.
I just tried the middle cast on and absolutely love the result! Started with cast on for rib at top. Have now reached the bottom and wonder what you would use to cater off. I’m finding Italian cast off very confusing. Can you help with an easy stretch cast off that would match your cast on? Thanks!!
Try the yarn over bind off described at www.10rowsaday.com/neater-yarnover-bindoff. It doesn't look exactly the same as the second cast on described in this video, but it is very similar. Happy knitting!
Any of these cast on techniques can be used in top-down socks. Simply choose the look of the edge you like and use the cast on that forms that type of edge. Happy knitting :-)
Hi, I'm a fairly new knitter and needed to find a tutorial for a stretchy knitting stitch for a top down sock and found your channel. I love how easy you made it look. Quick question which one of the 3 would you recommend I use for casting on a stretchy top down sock? Please and Thank you!! 😊💗😉
Either of these methods will work fine, but the second one is a little bit finicky. In many cases when I need to make a stretchy cast on edge in my projects, I use the Latvian cast one (method #3 in this tutorial). Happy knitting :-)
I really like the look of #3 and your demonstration made it easy to follow. Is each loop worked separate or are these two loops considered one cast on.
Hi Mary. Every loop is worked as a separate stitch. Even though they are located so close to each other, resist the temptation to work them together :-)
You definitely make these stretchy techniques so much easier to follow. I'm making myself some boot cuffs my first is way too tight having done it with the LT cast-on, not thinking. Would the 2nd cast on be the best for pulling over a heel and then popping back once it's on my ankle? Thanks a lot! :D
Cathy, all of these cast ons are stretchy and will work great for boot cuffs. The good thing about the second way is that it is quite firm and will hold shape nicely. Happy knitting :-)
Hi Patrice, if you mean the little tail left from double-stranding the yarn, you can simply weave it in later on. Here's a tutorial that explains how to weave in short tails - www.10rowsaday.com/weavein-short-tails Happy knitting :-)
You have very professional videos and your explanations are easy to understand. You are much appreciated. Thank you once again for a wonderful tutorial. I have subscribed and saved your knitting tips playlist.....
That's a great question, Divya! Yes, any of these cast ons will work with any stitch pattern - any kind of ribbing and even stockinette, garter or other "non-stretchy" stitches. Happy knitting :-)
I usually do knit 2 purl 2 rib cast on. I noticed that once the hat is worn a few times the band tends to stretch quite a bit sometimes losing its shape. Is there a way to make it so it doesn’t lose its shape ?
Hi Rosie. Try to use the variation of the long-tail cast on explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/russian-knitting-caston Because it is worked with two needles held together, the stitches in the first row are not tight and it is easier to work them.
Well, that's a very unpleasant situation because it means that you have to unravel all stitches, measure a bigger yarn tail and start from scratch. Sorry, but I haven't come across any easy fix for this :-(
I’m not sure why but I just can not get the stretchy cast on. I have watched so many tutorials. I’m not usually a knitter. Wonder if I will ever get it as it’s slowing me down with my beanies. Thank you 😢
Hi Cheryl. Here's a link to a step-by-step photo tutorial that explains a simple way to make a stretchy cast on that forms a beautiful edge - perfect for beanies - www.10rowsaday.com/latvian-caston. This method is based on the long-tail cast on. If you can do long-tail cast on, you will have no issues with this stretchy cast on method. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
@@10rowsaday thanks so much! I thought it looked similar to that, but somehow your video clicked and hers didn't. appreciate all the work you put into this video!
HI, in he video you knit up the swatch i 1x1 ribbing but how can i do cast-on #3 for 2x2 ribbing? is it exactly the same?or do i do 2 cast-ons the normal wat and 2 cast-ons the alternate way? if i understand correctly, the alternate way creates a purl cast-on, am i right? what about cast-ons #1 and #2? how can i convert them into 2x2 ribbing? thanjks
The cast on method will be the same. You simply start to work in 2x2 ribbing in the first row or round. The edge will still be stretchy. Happy knitting :-)
Hi Jon, the names are mentioned in the video description: 1. Doubled-Tail Long-Tail cast on 2. Slip Knot cast on (also called Jeny's Stretchy Slip Knot) 3. Latvian cast on. Many thanks for sharing my tutorials with other knitters. I hope they'll find them helpful :-)
Whenever I’m looking for a new technique, your versions are always the easiest to follow and look beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you so much, the Jeny's Stretchy Slipknot cast-on is brilliant. Stretchy and it doesn't roll up. Your TH-cam channel is great!

I've been using the Latvian cast on. I like the edge that it makes.
Me too! Such a lovely way to cast on stitches. In fact, this week's tutorial will be about this cast on :-)
@@10rowsaday looking forward to viewing it.
Excellent, I'll be trying out that third cast on. It is very nice. Thank you!

Hi Patrice, if you mean the little tail left from double-stranding the yarn, you can simply weave it in later on. Here's a tutorial that explains how to weave in short tails - www.10rowsaday.com/weavein-short-tails Happy knitting :-)

Thank you so much, May! I have to admit, I am not a professional video maker AT ALL. It's great to know that you enjoy my videos despite that fact :-)
Thank you. I'll take cast on two for a top down sweater. Very good explanation.
Good choice, Caroline - the second cast will look great on a neckline :-) Happy knitting!
Thanks ❤
wonderful tutorial. Love it.
Are these only for 1x1 ribbing? Would they work for 3x3 ribbing?
That's a great question, Divya! Yes, any of these cast ons will work with any stitch pattern - any kind of ribbing and even stockinette, garter or other "non-stretchy" stitches. Happy knitting :-)
Thank you. I've got limited yarn but I'm making a hat
thanks so much for this, so clear and easy to follow and by the way you could be a hand model! haha
Thank you, my friend :-)
how do you weave in the ends on your 1st cast on in this video? with the double strand and tiny end?
The fabric looks neater when we weave in each strand separately, especially if the project is made out of thicker yarn. Happy knitting :-)
I usually do knit 2 purl 2 rib cast on. I noticed that once the hat is worn a few times the band tends to stretch quite a bit sometimes losing its shape. Is there a way to make it so it doesn’t lose its shape ?
The best way is to use a tubular cast on for 2x2 ribbing. It is explained at www.10rowsaday.com/tubular-caston-2x2rib Good luck :-)
I am still struggling with the cast on because of tension; it's so uneven edge after I start knitting the rows. help
Hi Rosie. Try to use the variation of the long-tail cast on explained in this tutorial - www.10rowsaday.com/russian-knitting-caston Because it is worked with two needles held together, the stitches in the first row are not tight and it is easier to work them.
I liked “way #3” and would like to use it for both edges on a cowl. How would you bind off this way to match the cast on?
That's a good question, Risa :-) I haven't experimented with a matching bind off yet, but it seems that "sewn bind off" should be a good match.
THANK SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What happens when you run out of the doubled yarn and you only have the working yarn left? I can't seem to get another stitch on the needle.
Well, that's a very unpleasant situation because it means that you have to unravel all stitches, measure a bigger yarn tail and start from scratch. Sorry, but I haven't come across any easy fix for this :-(
Great video -- thanks!

Isn't the third technique also known as the Estonian cast on?
I know it as a "Latvian cast on", but it's quite possible that it also has a different name.
Is there a bind off that would match with the 3rd cast on?
That's a good question, Diane. I haven't come across one yet, but I'll keep looking :-)
