Hannah, can you explain how I can cast off to make arm holes when doing purl stitches. Because I can only find videos of people explaining it for knit stitches. Thanks a lot
@Neveragain360 of course, it’s not really shown for purls.
So start with purling two stitches, move yarn to back of needle and pass stitch over as you would with normal casting off. Move yarn to front and purl one, move yarn to back and pass stitch over as the cast on usually goes. Repeat that step of purling one and moving yarn to front and back again, and passing stitch over, for as many stitches as you need.
Happy knitting! (Or rather happy purling!) 🧶
Thank you that is really clear even for a complete beginner .
Hi Carole, I’m so pleased you found this useful.. congrats on finishing your first knit! 🧶
Great tutorial!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!! 😊 happy knitting 🧶
Oh that was brilliant. Thank you. Now I don't need to call my mother to remind me how to cast off! (I wish I were kidding. Lol!) I've knitted now and then since I was a kid, and I always seem to forget the most basic things, like how to finish! As a bonus, I now know why my binding off on ribbed projects always looked like garbage. Very helpful tips!! I very much appreciated the three different approaches, your calm tone and the longer takes on the actual stitching. That was a very helpful explanation about the placement of the yarn and what is actually happening (with the disposed stitch going to the back).
My only request would be that you actually hold up the stitches to the camera at some point so that we can see in closer detail what it should look like. Maybe my eyes are just not so good, but I couldn't really see the stitches. Just a close up now and then would help a lot. Even without seeing it well, I think I understand what is actually happening, so great descriptions! I definitely am now confident that I can finish my project (a cat blanket >^^< ) and am pretty sure I might remember all of this for the next project 😊
Thanks so much for this great video!
Yay! So glad you were able to cast off without hassle this time.
I filmed this with the iPod many years ago, so close-ups were very blurry, I'm able to zoom in a bit more with the iPhone now, but it still doesn't focus sometimes. It just does depend on the edit.
Happy knitting 🧶
You are realm y good at knitting. Thank you for teaching me how to cast off!!!
You are so welcome! I'm happy this video got you through! happy knitting! 😍

Great to hear! so glad this helped you happy knitting🧶
I am here ro learn cast offing. Never done it too.
Thank you Hannah.
You’re welcome! Happy knitting 🧶
Thank you for your wonderful teaching.
Hi Joella! You’re welcome.

Hi am having a problem understand my patt it sayshape top it way cast of1st at bag of next 10 grow does that mean i cast off at bath end or my 4th grow with is my purl grow please help
I imagine it means to cast off on both knit rows and purl rows. That usually happens on a shoulder shaping, or top of a piece that is going to look like the top of a semi-circle or triangle. Happy knitting 🧶
Great video! Thank you Hannah! Would you have a video on how to knit a little kitten sweater?
Hi Nancy, no, it’s not my niche. Happy knitting 🧶
I have a pattern that mentions B&T which according to the abbreviations means Bind & Tie and it says mentions threading your wool end on a tapestry needle and passing through the stitches on your knitting needle. Then draw up the stitches and tie off ! But it doesn't look right ! Have you got a video that shows how to do it please?
So I do this at the top of a hat or other item which needs the stitches drawn together tightly. I tend to go through the stitches once then start from first stitch again so they have the yarn through them twice, sometimes three times. But it has to be tightly fastened, and it gives the thread to sew up seam if you need to do that too.
Not sure if there’s a video here on it, but the hat patterns on my website have videos linked. If I can find one I’ll add as a second comment here.

@@KnitWithHannahi received message in answer to my question about b&t but where it says "Read On" nothing happens when i click on it so i still don't know how to B&T !! 😢

Perhaps use a different device or browser - it might be opening another tab too.
Are you able to do a casting off in the middle of a row video at some point in the future? Just got completely flummoxed when a row in a pattern didn't seem to add up (body of a cardigan). Sorted it out now, I think, but could be handy for others.
Hmmm. That sounds like perhaps there were too many stitches? Casting off in the middle of a row would only be used for a pocket or buttonhole really.
You’d want to decrease discreetly at the side perhaps.

@@KnitWithHannah it was for where the sleeve would attach. I had to knit some stitches, cast off 6 stitches, knit some more stitches, cast off 6 the knit the rest. The cast off parts were for what would become the armpit. I confused myself because I tried to count the stitch that is on your right needle after casting off as one of the stitches knitted between to 2 cast off sections 🤦🏼♀️
Hi Hanna,
In a pattern what does it mean to cast off two stitches at the beginning of the row?
As if you were casting off the whole row, cast off only the first two stitches, then continue knitting (purling or working in pattern) across the rest of the row. This is usually for an armhole or similar shaping on a piece of knitting. Happy knitting! 🧶
Thank you
You’re welcome! Happy knitting 🧶
Thank you for this useful video... Now I studied how to cast off.... Thank you so much ❤️
You're welcome. Happy knitting 🧶
@@KnitWithHannah thank you 😘
@@KnitWithHannah ☺️
Thank you for the tutorial. Would the same apply if I cast off too loosely I should use a smaller needle.
Yes, that's certainly an option - I'd also look at this video, to figure out why your stitches might be loose - th-cam.com/video/KdTChjHjkwo/w-d-xo.html
Is casting off the same as binding off?
Yes, exactly the same. happy knitting 🧶
Thank you! Excellent tutorial! 😃
Hi Tammy, I’m so glad it was helpful. 🧶happy knitting 🧶
I need help, please. When I cast off the needle doesn’t catch and it slips off. I can never get the yarn back on correctly. Any suggestions?
Hi Alicia, what you could do is cast off with a crochet hook in your right hand, so it's easier to pull the stitches over and not lose the second one. This video will help you put stitches back on your needle if you're losing them: th-cam.com/video/OiS2psPky94/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps! 🙂 happy knitting!
You’re a dear. Thank you.
Thank you so much Hannah! I really loved the video and managed to cast off to perfection my new balaclava!!!!
You're very welcome. Glad you found it useful! Happy knitting 🧶
Brilliant x thank you

So glad you enjoyed it! Happy knitting 🧶
No sound 😢😢😢😢😢😢
double-check that the mute button isn't clicked on the video. TH-cam can activate that sometimes so you can watch in noise restricted places.
