- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2020
- Add this elegant cast on to your repertoire for pieces with incredible polish and elasticity. Unlike traditional tubular cast ons, this special technique uses no waste yarn, so you are ready to begin knitting once you have the right amount of stitches, no snipping required! Beautiful, durable and professional looking, the Italian Tubular cast on is ideal for the brim of hats or cuffs of sleeves - anywhere you need a finished edge with a little stretch.

Cast On:
Cast on using a needle one to two sizes smaller than you'll be using to knit your ribbing.
Step 1: Make a slip knot (optional) leaving a tail 2 - 3 times longer than the desired width of your cast on. Slip the slip knot onto the needle and hold in your R hand ready to knit. Secure the tails from the slip knot by holding them against the needle with your R hand. With your index finger and thumb of your L hand extended to create an "L", position the working yarn in your L hand, with the working yarn draped over your index finger and the tail yarn draped over your thumb, holding the ends against your palm. The yarn is held in a diamond shape, with the slip knot positioned halfway between your thumb and index finger, and the needle tip positioned above the yarns, pointing to the middle of the diamond shape.
(Note: This video shows the cast-on for a flat swatch with an optional knit selvedge stitch at each end. You can reverse the following steps to start with Step 3 and end on Step 2 if you prefer.)
Step 2: Create a Knit Stitch: Wrap the tail yarn over the needle by moving the needle tip outside of the diamond toward your thumb and over the tail yarn, then back to the center of the diamond under the tail yarn. Move the needle tip outside of the diamond toward your index finger and over the working yarn, back to the center of the diamond under the working yarn, then forward under the tail yarn and returning to the center. Keep the loop on the needle and maintain an even tension, ready to cast on a new stitch.
Step 3: Create a Purl Stitch: Wrap the working yarn over the needle by moving the needle tip outside of the diamond toward your index finger and under the working yarn, then back to the center of the diamond. Move the needle tip outside of the diamond toward your thumb and over the tail yarn, back to the center of the diamond under the tail yarn, then back under the working yarn and returning to the center. Keep the loop on the needle and maintain an even tension, ready to cast on a new stitch.
Repeat Steps 2 & 3 until the desired number of stitches have been cast on, ending with Step 2 (for an odd total number of stitches) or Step 3 (for an even total number of stitches). Finish with a backwards loop to secure your cast-on row; this backwards loop is the final stitch in your total stitch count.
To work the optional tubular rows:
(Note: You'll be working three tubular rows, knitting the knits and slipping the purls with yarn in front (wyif) on every row. The following instructions are written for an odd number of stitches. If you are working over an even number of stitches, work Row 2 three times, omitting the last knit stitch before the selvedge stitch on each row. If not using selvedge stitches, simply ignore the instructions for them.)
Row 1: With working yarn, knit 1 (selvedge stitch). Slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front (wyif), knit 1 until 2 stitches remain, slip 1 wyif, knit 1 (selvedge stitch). Note that on this row, your knit stitches will be mounted backwards on the needle; you'll need to knit into the back loop to untwist them.
Row 2: Knit 1 (selvedge stitch). Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise wyif until 2 stitches remain, knit 1, knit 1 (selvedge stitch).
Row 3: Knit 1 (selvedge stitch). Slip 1 purlwise wyif, knit 1 until 2 stitches remain, slip 1 wyif, knit 1 (selvedge stitch).
Switch to your larger needle and start your ribbing.

Thank you! I've got this at last - so simple with instructions that are clear and work!! You're a genius!
Finally this is the video that works for my brain! thank you . Stop here guys. I already watched all the others. This is THE ONW!
Yes! We're so happy we could help!
This is the best taught method I have seen. I am using it to cast on for top down knit sweaters. I have modified it to complete knitting in the round which because of the detailed advice on stabilising the stitches means it is eminently possible to create the round and then follow this advice, then knit the rest of the sweater using the magic loop method.
Thanks so much for watching! We're glad you're making this method work for you.
Finally .... a video I can follow. Success at last. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Happy knitting!
I’m hoping by watching this several times I won’t have so much anxiety doing it... Thank you for working so slowly.
We're here for you!
Love this securing technique at the end of the row. Very helpful. Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful! Happy knitting!
Great tutorial, thank you! I’ve tried to get this from written instructions alone without success but this really helped making Italian Tubular Cast-on approachable and successful
Thank you so much. Great tutorial 💗
Thanks for the tutorial........also for your impeccable taste in textiles and hand-knits; amazing designs.
You are so welcome! We're so glad you found this helpful!
I agree~!!
Thank you so much for such clear instructions! I hated working with Italian cast on but now I feel I am ready to try again!
Thanks so much for watching, Gul! We really love this cast on, it adds just that extra bit of polish!
I so wish people would show what happens when you cast on more than will fit on the needle and it starts to spin on the cord. I would love to know for sure what it looks like as you work along and have to correct the spinning as you proceed to the 1st row after the cast on. That is the frustration and where I am unsure.
Hello! You might find this tutorial from WEBS helpful: th-cam.com/video/E0O82kpcMY4/w-d-xo.html
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Thanks for the quick reply. I am okay with regular cast ons. I struggle with the tubular cast on and how the cast on stitches tend to really spin around once they get on a cord. After the first row of knit and slip all is good. I need help with the tubular spinning on a cord and how to distinguish the stitches once they have spun around.
Get a longer cord.
Wonderful. Thank you for making this so clear.
You are very welcome! A nice tubular cast on makes a project feel extra special!
Wonderful tutorial. I’ll have to try this.
What a clear explanation. Thank you! And your gentle voice really helps too 😊
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much! Finally an easy way of making a tubular cast on!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching & happy knitting! (We love a nice tubular cast on!)
Very helpful! Answered all my questions! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! This was super helpful, and I feel a lot better about this fingerless mitt pattern now that I know what a tubular cast on is.
Thanks for watching! Let us know how your mitts turn out!
Genius!
Thankyou for your very very clear tutorials inspiring to watch
Glad you like them!
Wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tutorial , thank you . Subscribed as well . So happy I found you .
Welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! It's such a pretty cast on to do, I always feel extra accomplished when I take the time to do it! Happy knitting!
Thank you! Verk clear and pleasent to listen to!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I can’t remember it yet. So I watch it every time I do this cast on. The best for this cast on
You're very welcome!
So cool!
It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it also!
really clear
Reading thru the comments I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one who has anxiety over this CO 😂 Any of the tubular cast on or offs actually....!!
Wish me luck,I'm gonna be giving it a try in the morning~!! 🤞😄🧶🥢
Let us know how it turned out!
You are a great teacher!
Thank you! 😃
Real helpful, thank you
You're very welcome! Happy knitting!
Wow 🤩
Very clear tutorial. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Happy knitting!
I've gotten a little messed up because I want to do this circularly. The purl stitches are mounted backwards, not the knits. So which do I slip in this case? Do you have a video for doing this circularly?
Hi Tracy! For the tubular rows you'll be slipping your purls and knitting your knits each time. We like to work the cast on and the tubular rows flat, then join to work in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that remains.
Thank you for the clear tutorial. Your relaxing voice helps a lot! When you work in the round with this cast on, what do you do to have a jogless join? Thanks
Hello, thank you for your question! Unfortunately there is not a way to get the join on the tubular cast on completely jogless, but you can go back in and use your yarn tail to neaten up the join while weaving in ends afterward.
This was a great tutorial. I don't know what that selvage stitch is that you knit each time. Was that the loop at the beginning?
Thanks so much! Here, Jared has added an extra knit stitch to each edge of his swatch, as you might do for a piece that you intend to seam. If you don't need a selvedge stitch and you want your first row to start with a knit stitch, you'd count your slip knot as a knit stitch and work your second stitch as a purl.
This was super helpful! Been trying to learn this tech but had too many issues with that last stitch! Problem solved!
I’ve just bought MANZANITA SUNSET by Seth Richardson and I’ve bought my 1st ever Brooklyn tweed yarn “Brooklyn Tweed Peerie” which I got from our only stockist all the way down here in South Australia 🇦🇺.. another 1st spinning the yarn from a Hank to a ball.. scary stuff! 😅
Now I’ve found your channel, I had to subscribe and peruse later for “the sewn bind off” (what ever that is) to finish off the cowl (I’ve only done the swatch 😂) but better prepared! 😊
We're so glad we could help! Which colors did you choose for your Manzanita Sunset?
Amazing to see thls explained so clearly and thoughtfully. Will definitely give this another try. Thank you 💖 👍
You’re welcome 😊
Nice
Thank you!
I’ve always wondered what this type of cast on was called!! I’m definitely going to start using it now! Thank you
Any tips on how to sew up the gap so that it looks tidy when knitting in the round?
Bring your yarn through both legs of the first stitch in the round, then back into the last stitch (basically creating an extra stitch in the round), snug up and weave in your end!
Hi. Thank you for this video!! Fantastic demonstration. If I use this cast on to knit a hat, do I first do the 3 set up rows flat then join to knit in the round? Thanks!! Cathy
Thanks Cathy! Yes, you can join the work into the round after working the three tubular (setup) rows, then begin working in a rib as you normally would.
Thank you for this! Do you have a video of this cast on in the round? Knitting your brioche hat and trying to figure it out! 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching! We like to work the cast on and the tubular rows flat, then join to work in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that remains.
If you don’t treat the first stitch you cast on as a selvedge stitch, should you work the first stitch in the actual cast on as a purl? If not you have knit-knit-purl for the first three stitches. Thank you!
Hi Alex! Yes, if you don't need a selvedge stitch and you want your row to start with a knit stitch, you'd count your slip knot as the knit and work your second stitch as a purl. Happy knitting!
thank you for posting this. way easier than the double needle method for me. if you have the time, I've been looking for guidance on a 3 color bind off on a flat project that i just can't get right. any help is appreciated. thx. m
Glad it was helpful! Wow, a three-color bind off? We'll keep an eye out and let you know if we see any good tips!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official thank you for the reply.. the more I research the more i don't think it exists, hence nothing to find..just going to break the 3rd color off in my work once I'm done with it..again, thank you for this very helpful video (especially the needle size tip)...casting on now..
Showing hats at the beginning of the video I assumed this would cover tips on joining this cast on in the round.
Thanks for watching! One of the nice things about this cast on is that you can work it flat, then just start right in to your ribbing in the round - once you're done, you can use your yarn tail to sew the ends of the cast on together so it's all nice and neat. Happy knitting!
I love all those hats in your tutorial, do you have the patterns for them please? The tutorial was the best one I've seen anywhere for Italian cast on by far!
A quick question, is it possible to do 2x2 Italian cast on ?
Thanks so much! The red hat is our Burnaby pattern, the green hat is similar to our Cloudline Hat (worked in a worsted weight yarn held single rather than a fingering weight yarn held double), and the two-color brioche hat pattern will be coming out in the fall.
For 2x2 ribbing, the cast on and the tubular rows are done the exact same way. All you need to do is to rearrange your knit and purl stitches as you work your first row of ribbing:
1. Skip the first stitch on your L needle and go into the second stitch purlwise.
2. Slip this stitch to your R needle, holding the first stitch just below its base to secure it as both stitches slide off your L needle.
3. Pick up the loose stitch with your L needle.
4. Transfer the two slipped stitches on your R needle back to your L needle. The first four stitches on your L needle are now arranged as 2x2 ribbing.
Work the first four stitches and repeat.
(You can also do this with a cable needle: Slip 1 purlwise from L to R needle, slip 1 to CN and hold in back, slip 1 purlwise from L to R needle, return stitch on CN to L needle, return both slipped stitches on R needle to L needle.)
@@BrooklynTweed_Official thank you so much, your really sweet ☺️ definitely subscribing to your channel x
Excellently explained. Thank you. I've subscribed to your channel 😀
Thanks so much! We're working on some new tutorials for the spring.
If a pattern states to cast on 88 stitches for a 1 X 1 ribbing would you include your first stich as part of the 88 or would you +1? This is a beautiful edging!!
Hello, thank you for your question! If your final cast on number is 88, you would cast on 87 in this method and then make a backwards loop for the 88th stitch.
I take it that this will work nicely on top-down socks?
Oo, great idea! Yes, this should work well for a ribbed sock cuff!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official I will use this on my next pair. Nice work chap.
Love this tutorial! By any chance - what are the hat patterns shown? Are they published? Thank you!
Hello, thank you for your question! The red cabled hat is our Burnaby pattern: brooklyntweed.com/collections/patterns/products/burnaby. The brioche hat is an upcoming BT pattern and the green is one of Jared's personal pieces.
And so, if one was to use this method for circular knitting -- as in a hat -- I'm assuming that one would join the rows after the first row. Is that correct? Any special technique for joining rows?
Exactly! After working the cast on (or the cast on and the tubular rows), you can join to work in the round with whatever method you prefer (crossing over the first & last stitches, casting on an extra stitch and K2tog the first & last stitches, etc.) Once you've finished your project, you can use your yarn tail to sew up the small gap left at the joining point. Happy knitting!
Best tutorial I’ve seen. Is it the same if you’re knitting circular?
Hi Barb! Thanks so much! You can follow the same steps and then join to work in the round after you've worked your cast on (and the tubular rows, if you're doing them.)
How do you join in the round? For eg. If i want an even number of stiches, say 20 in 1x1 ribbing do how many stiches should i cast on? The first one is not really a knit or purl so i guess i knit that one as selvage for the tubular rows and so have 21 stiches and then somehow knit that selvage stich to another one? How do i do that?
does anyone know a matching bind off method?? I'm using this for a scarf but don't know which bind off is identical
We've got you! Italian Tubular Bind Off: th-cam.com/video/183MPw2xPas/w-d-xo.html
I'm guessing you did your hats examples in a round... Do you have a tutorial showing this cast on utilized in a round? It's a very difficult one to manage if you try to join just after the cast on, yet if you do the set up rows before joining- you have a gap that needs to be sewed up (hopefully invisibly using the tail). I wondered if you had your own technique in dealing with this.
We do exactly that - sew up the gap with the tail!
Thanks for this video! Where can I find the patterns for the caps? They're just what the men in my family want.
Thanks for watching! The red hat is the Burnaby Hat, the two-color ribbed hat is the First Brioche Hat, and the green hat is similar to our Cloudline Hat pattern, knit in a single strand of worsted weight yarn rather than two strands of fingering weight - all designed by Jared Flood. You can find all three patterns on our website: brooklyntweed.com/

Thank you for the explanation, this was helpful. But it’s so hard to keep track of the different directions 😭😭
You can do it! Practice a few times with a swatch and you'll have it down in no time!
Great tutorial! I've been watching a few and was getting pretty confused. One question is there are only 2 set up rows in my patterns for in the round, not 3. Correct?
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, you can also work flat through the first tubular row, then join and knit the second tubular "row" in the round - then you're ready to start your ribbing!
On Tubular Row 2 the leading edge of my knit stitches were at the back (and this makes sense since they were slipped without modifying during Row 1). If I knit them regularly, they will be twisted. Should I straighten them out by KTBL (as I did in Row 1) ?
Hi Lori! Yes, if you find that the purl stitches that you slipped in row 1 are sitting backwards now that you want to knit them in row 2, you can straighten them back out by knitting them through the back loop. (That's what I love about knitting, if a stitch isn't quite right you can just fix it and go right on!) Happy knitting!
Hi Thank you an excellent tutorial. Do you have any advice re knitting in the round? Do you do the three set up rows and then join?
Thanks for watching! Yes, we like to work through the set up (and tubular) rows flat, then join to knit in the round. There will be a small gap which you can sew up with your yarn tail when you've finished your project.
@@BrooklynTweed_Official
Thank you for your help ( yet again) xx
This is a great tutorial, thank you ! If we wanted to join to work my tubular rows in the round, rather than working them flat first, how would you recommend we do that?
Hi Alice! Thanks so much! You can join to work in the round after your cast on row (purling the slip knot together with the first stitch) and work the tubular rounds like so:
Round 2: (Tubular Purl Round): *Bring yarn to front, purl 1, bring yarn to back, slip 1 purlwise wyib, repeat from * to end.
Round 3: (Tubular Knit Round): *Bring yarn to front, slip 1 purlwise wyif, bring yarn to back, knit 1, repeat from * to end.
Round 4: Repeat Round 2.
Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Thank you, that's really helpful and much appreciated !
Great tutorial - just two questions....when using this for knitting in the round, I see below you mentioned that you would knit the 3 tubular rows flat and then join in the round....does this leave a visible jog? I normally join in the round by casting on an extra stitch, then right before starting, I slip one stitch purlwise and pass the last stitch over...is it possible to do this with this cast on method?
Thank you! You can either knit the tubular rows flat and then join to work in the round using your preferred method, or join after you cast on and work the tubular rows in the round.
Where can I find the pattern for the red hat? Its beautiful!
Hello, thank you for your kind words! The red hat is Jared Flood's Burnaby pattern: brooklyntweed.com/products/burnaby
How does a person adapt this to working in the round?
Great question! We like to work through the cast on & tubular rows flat, then start working in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that's left.
Nicely done but could you use a 10mm needle and super chunky yarn
It is hard to see the small yarn
We'll be shooting our new tutorials closer up so it's easier to see the stitches! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi ,if I am working in the round like hat brim, at what point I join ?Thanks.
Great question! We like to work through the cast on & tubular rows flat, then start working in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that's left.
How do you join in the round without a jog?
Great question! We like to work through the cast on & tubular rows flat, then start working in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that's left.
Can you show a cast on for 2 x 2 ribbing please?
We'll add that to our list!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Thanks. Of course I meant TUBULAR cast on for 2 x 2 ribbing.
....and in the round.
What do you do with those extra 2 stitches on the ends?
The selvedge stitches are totally optional - you might like to have them on a piece that you intend to seam, for example. If you don't need a selvedge stitch and you want your first row to start with a knit stitch, you'd count your slip knot as a knit stitch and work your second stitch as a purl, then end your row with a purl.
Will this work for K1 P2 ribbing?
Hi Carol! This particular version is for 1x1 ribbing - to do an uneven rib like K1 P2, you could try a 2x2 Italian tubular cast on and then decrease out the unneeded stitches before you start your ribbing - try it on a swatch and see what you think!
how do you join for in the round knitting with this cast--on? Thanks
Hi Elaine! We like to work the tubular rows flat and then join to work in the round (you can sew up the small gap that's left with your yarn tail once you've finished your project).
Alternatively, you can join to work in the round after your cast on row (purling the slip knot together with the first stitch) and work the tubular rounds like so:
Round 2: (Tubular Purl Round): *Bring yarn to front, purl 1, bring yarn to back, slip 1 purlwise wyib, repeat from * to end.
Round 3: (Tubular Knit Round): *Bring yarn to front, slip 1 purlwise wyif, bring yarn to back, knit 1, repeat from * to end.
Round 4: Repeat Round 2.
Happy knitting!
Thank you. I like the first method. Thanks for the quick and clear response.
How to I work it in the round?
We like to work through the cast on & tubular rows flat, then start working in the round, using the yarn tail to sew up the small gap that's left. Happy knitting!
Please can you tell us the names of these patterns? Thank you
Hi Sara! The red hat is our Burnaby pattern, the green hat is similar to our Cloudline Hat pattern, and the brioche hat is a new pattern that will be available this fall. Happy knitting!
Thank you so much for speedy reply - very helpful! Will wait patiently for the Brioche Beanie! Loving your tutorials! Greetings from Ireland!
you said that the first (non knot) was a stitch, yet when you did a knit and pearl you said you had two stitches, shouldnt it be three?
Hi Joanne! Great question! If you jump to 9:17 in the video, you'll see that Jared is treating the non-knot stitch as a selvedge stitch on his swatch so he's not counting it as part of his tubular stitches.
Once the stitches glide past the needle onto the cable if using circular needles to create a hat they twist so badly it is impossible to straighten them out to work in the round. There is a much better tubular cast on that prevents this.
Thanks for watching! Which tubular cast on is your favorite?
@@BrooklynTweed_Official I use the method utilizing a provisional cast-on that creates a beautiful folded over appearance especially effective for items worked in the round. It is extremely simple and lovely. The long tail method becomes a mess on the needles and is entirely too challenging to keep it untwisted in my opinion.
The information is nice, but the video would be a lot more helpful if it was shot closer to the actual knitting. Everything is so small it’s difficult to make out the details being pointed out.
We'll work on that for future videos!
А зачем провязывать ещё раз первую кромочную, мы ведь просто вяжем по кругу
В любом случае работает!
Too much talking!
Hi Nana! We have each step listed with timestamps in the video description - just click on the timestamp to jump to the part you want to watch!
Too much talking instead of showing how to do it. And your camera is too far away.
We do like to talk about our knitting! We're trying out some different methods of shooting tutorials so that we can get good closeups - keep an eye out and let us know what you think! Happy knitting!
You know some people wear glasses. why use such small yarn?
We'll zoom in more for future videos!
