LisaR- It's interesting that I've been knitting since Kindergarten , yet I hadn't used Cable cast on in years.. I can think of several times I should have ;) Your videos are the "Gold Standard "for Knitting techniques, in my opinion. I truly appreciate how You deliver the verbal & visual content with consistent clarity. It's a gift to the entire community. Thank you ! ❤❤❤

I always use this cast on - tip - before you pull the yarn tight, put your needle behind the stitch, then pull the yarn tight. ❤❤ Taught at Junior school when I was 9yrs old many decades ago.

Exactly what I needed! Thank you for always getting right to the point! I also appreciate you explaining why this method might be called for. That was helpful.

Thank you for your tutorial podcasts. I’m a newbie knitter and when I get stuck on a stitch you are the first place I look for help. Keep up the great job.

Thank you for this video. I do have a pattern that calls for this cast on. I knew you would probably have it. You are one of my Go To's for any knitting I have questions about.

Like many others have said, if I’m looking for a video to learn a knitting technique, if your name shows up, you are my go-to. I also recommend your videos often to other knitters. Thank you for your help!

Stacy, Thank you for your videos. You are the best knitting teacher and I’ve improved so much with your help.

Cable cast on is my usual - I use it for everything. My mother taught it to me when I was 6, and I didn't know there was another until I was 66. It can be flexible and stretchy if you don't pull it tight, and I find it nice and fast, too

Thank you, Staci! I keep hoping to find one of your videos when I Google a particular knitting technique, because I know they're always good, well-explained, and succinct, without lots of unnecessary fluff. I record video tutorials (not on knitting, sadly) for work and your videos are exactly what a good video should be.

Thank you!! I'm knitting a sweater calling for this and was relieved to find you perfect tutorial!!

Thank you for keeping your video short, concise and to the point!!

I was reading through instructions on a project I intend to start soon, and I was so confused about what they wanted me to do, lol! Not confused any more; this was very helpful, thank you, Staci.

Thank you for your great instructions. Brief and exact so we can get on with our knitting!

Great video from my favorite knitting tutorials guide! Thank you!!

Thank you for your videos. Since I knit with the yarn in my left hand it's much easier for me to do this cast-on with a crochet hook. Just an idea for other "continental" style knitters. Your video taught me to twist the stitch before putting it on the needle... will try that next time! Thank you!

Thank you for all your videos! So clear. I send many people to Verypink now!

Thank you for this video! I'm starting a new project which called for this type of casting on, and I always know just where to start looking when I jave questions with any thing new. Thanks again!

I like that you explain why it's used!

Thank you! I am beginning a Project that says this cast on isn't essential; but since this kind of cast on was mentioned, I figured it must be preferred. I KNEW that you would know!

Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much Staci.

I love your short to the point videos Thanks.

You are my go to for so many things, you explain things so well, thankyou!

Thank you for this video. I recently had to learn the cable cast on and this was very helpful.

Thanks so much for this. I needed to learn this cast on for a pic of edge and this was very clear and simple.

I love your tutorials 🥰

I just want to offer a tip: when I do this cast on, I put the right hand needle in place then tighten the yarn. That way you don't have to force the tip into place.

I really love this channel

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. As usual a great tutorial. 🧶🩷

I find the cast on to be just as fast as the other two-needle cast ones I do, once I got into the rhythm of it. Thanks for the clear video :)

I commonly do not tighten the stitch until I have inserted the needle between the two stitches. This makes the cast on a tad looser but also faster.

Thank you! I,love your videos, they are so helpful & your hands are so pretty!

Thank u !! Great Video. I like that your videos get right to it. Plus you always give the "why's"... I know i said it before but as a newbie i like to know the whys. I was glancing through an edgings/finishing book and saw a Picket edge & the pattern called for a Cable cast on. I only know the long tail cast on lol..i wanna use it for everything lol. I cant wait to try the cable cast on..im gonna knit a swatch of the picket edge now.. i get to try something new..yeahh

Thank you! I can’t believe this video is 12 yrs old! I need this stitch for a sock pattern and I knew you’d have the solution.

Thank you. I need to learn this.

Absolutely love your videos! I’m learning how to knit by watching KZfaq videos and you’re my favorite one. I do think your videos could be a little closer to your hands. But either way thank you!

So simple, thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you

As always, I love your videos. I am fixing to start an mkal and need to know cable cast on and short rows. I watched both your videos and don’t feel overwhelmed.

If you put the needle through before you tighten you save a step and it goes faster

Thank you. I had no idea and the pattern directions were no help.

What is that yarn you are using? I love the colors!!!

Very nice, thanks! Would you also show us what it looks like on a piece that you've knitted?

Is there a cable bind off or what do you suggest?

Is the slip-stitch counted as a stitch?

@Glassfox9 I don't have any good photos of it available right now, but if you go to knitty dot com and search for "cable cast on", they have a photo tutorial with nice shots of how it looks on a knitted piece. :) Sorry - KZfaq won't let me give you a direct link here.

Loved this video, any recommendations on how to bind off to replicate the look of the cast on? my pattern just says to bind off knitwise with 1 size larger needles.. thank you in advance!

is the tail on the right or left side of a cable cast on

Which side of a wrap would you pick up (front or back) if the pearl side is the RS right side of a sweater?

Just ran across a pattern that uses this. I watched a couple of videos about it, I do have a question though. Does it matter which way you put the loop you draw up on to the left hand needle? The other video did it opposite than you.

I've seen another tutorial for the cable cast on that doesn't twist the stitches, i.e. when they transfer the new stitch from the right needle to the left, they do it from the other side without turning the needle as much. Are both of these valid ways to do cable cast on?

Question: if the pattern says to cast on 3 St, will you have 3 or 4 loops on your hook, when you're done? If you have 4, what do you do with the extra loop? Thanks 😊 Raw beginner knitter here😅

The background is so bright and the camera too far. Not good!

Thank you!
