    The pinhole cast-on method is perfect for doilies, toys, and other circular projects where you need an invisible join the center. This video shows you two different versions - one using a crochet hook. I'll also show you how to do the pinhole cast-on with circular needles using the magic loop technique. Enjoy

    I love this simple caston!! I’m a crocheter and this is so much easier than the crochet pinhole cast on I’ve been using. Brilliant

    As along time crocheter, I always wondered how one would cast on for a circular knit project. This gives me so many ideas on how to combine both worlds.

    This was so thorough. I know how to do magic loop in crochet and was pleased to see it used here, in addition to a clear tutorial for the pinhole cast on. Thank you, Norman. ❤

    Thanks for the video! Present-day new knitters are so lucky. They have all these clear, easy-to-follow youtube videos. When I learnt to knit I had to figure out myself how to start and end, etc. That was past 60 years ago when I was lucky if I found some old knitting instruction booklet.
    Norman's instructions are among the best on TH-cam. Thanks for teaching this craft.
    When I moved to the USA 40 years ago nobody was knitting, I was afraid that it was a skill that would go lost. Later on, I met some knitters but never found in here anyone knitting continental way. They were surprised to see how much faster the continental way was compared to English knitting.

    I knew how to do the crochet magic ring, but never knew about the pinhole cast on! I haven’t knitted anything that would need this in a long while, but I’m glad to learn of it in case I ever need it again. Thank you for the informative video.

    Thank you for offer varied version yo include the crochet version!!😊😊

  • @ojaimark
    @ojaimark 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the crochet version, I like to do the single crochets as if I was going to do an 8 sctog (but I never finish the tog part), where I only pull through one loop instead of both to complete the stitch. That way I end up with 8 stitches on the hook ready to to transfer to needles. It also makes the stitches in the center a little less bulky than finishing a ring and then picking up. It looks pretty much indistinguishable from knitting.

    I watched this because i always find your videos interesting and fun to watch even if i think I'll never use that specific technique. But less than a week later i found myself needing to do a pinhole cast-on 😂 So glad I knew exactly where to go! Thank you again, Norman! 💜

    This is SO helpful. I've been making the Vivid blanket from Tin Can Knits, and have not been enjoying the process of beginning the squares with a pinhole cast on, which I never seem to get right. Your video makes it perfectly clear at last. Thank you!

    Hi Norman. Thank you for sharing how to do the pin hole cast on. I have been over You Tube trying to be able to get started. I just came across your podcast for this and I am going to give it a try. Do you have a podcast to show how to knit the magic Loop? I cannot remember which needle to pull out. the top or bottom. Thank you, Thank you so much.
