This is the best Thanks for sharing it 🙏🏻

you should patent the method :D

it's not the fastest cast on, but sure is the stretchiest

This is how I cast on, I didn’t know that this was a different way. Thank you for sharing. Now I know it is an oops! It is perfect. Thanks again.

Is this Jeny's Stretchy Slipknot Cast-On? It sure looks like it. Thank you.

It’s a very pretty cast on, but when you yank on that yarn I get worried!😂

This is exactly how I do it. I was just Rayville how to do a stretchy cat on and realized I was doing it incorrectly, however I do it just like this 😊

👍👍👍👍👍🕊️🌹

Hi I seem to be doing it right but my stitches seem to be twisting. I'm knitting with very fine wool.what am I doing wrong.??.?

Just saw a link to this tutorial in someone's Ravelry project notes. Very curious to try it! Thank you for posting.

Amasingly stretchy, thank you. Thank you. Didn't she do well to make a mistake and come up with this.

Nice! Just tried it and it’s really good. You should give it your mother’s name so we know what to call it! Thank you.

This is my favorite cast on, which I learned from you. Thank you! I have found this pulling down to be helpful. Also, when I hold the knot in place with my left hand, pulling it closed with my right, for some reason it slides easier, don't know why.

Wow! Thank you, your video has changed my knitting life. And I really love how calm and clear your instructions are. I will try to memorize this, but I'm sure I will be refreshing my memory by rewatching regularly at the start of my projects.

Thanks for sharing so generously! I'll def9give it a try, Nancy

THANK YOU! I love this cast on and use it on all of my ribbed cuffs/hats!

Is there some reason you’re popping that yarn in such a fashion, tugging on it like an old rope or fishing line? Also, if your yarn is sticking you are using the wrong type of needle, use metal.

OMG, why did I not find this video much earlier ? - thanks a lot - this made my knitting life perfect.

Love it! I'm starting to do cuff down socks and this is perfect

I’ve been using this cast on for years, especially for knitting socks. I’m back here after the _one time_ I decided to use another cast on, had to frog it back and start over 😂 it just wasn’t stretchy enough. Thanks for a great video 👏🏼

Couldn’t make it work 🙁

I am new to knitting. I’ve been crocheting for a while. So I was cruising through looking for different cast-on methods and was pretty much completely confused till I came to your video. Even I can see the benefit of this method. You or your mother should be credited with this whenever it’s mentioned. Thank you so much. 👍🏼🤍

This is a GAME CHANGER! Your mom is brilliant. Been knitting for over 50 years. I have always struggled with cast on's being too tight. If I do it looser it looks sloppy. I am selling handmade socks....this is awesome for top down socks. Thank you beyond measure!

when i do this why am i getting such large spaces between my cast on stitches?

Love this cast on. Use it all the time. Thank you!

Thank you very much

بالتوفيق والنجاح الدائم يارب العالمين 🌹🌹👍 يدوم التواصل بينا 😍👍🌹❤️

Love it!!!!! Thank you

Why did it take me this long to learn about this? WOW! Thank you

This is very helpful. I also like the way you make a slip knot!

I love this cast on!! I have used it for socks and booties and sweaters and hat. It is terrific because you don't have a long tail to have to guess and deal with. I don't know why anyone would use a long tail cast on for a stretchy edge. This is so much better and has such a pretty edge. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

The cast on of my glove, cowl, and sock knitting dreams! I've used this for so many different projects. Thank you!

Sticka elastisk resår

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I was looking for a cast on for top-down fingerless mitts and I think this will be perfect.

YOU are "a wonderful thing". . to share this with everyone. . thank you!!!

This is really efficient. Thank you very much for sharing x

Thanks for sharing, it’s been my favorite for a couple years!!!

This is just the cast on I needed for my project! Thanks much to you & your mom for sharing! Wishing you well & take care🤓

I love this cast-on and have used it for nine years thanks to this video. I use it 90% of the times I knit. Every time I come here now is to share it with others. Love it!

I don't know?.. this being done 10 years back.. Is it TRULY STRETCHY..? I Have the Worst time having too tight cast ons.. That I end up tearing all my yarn out.. And having to TRY AGAIN.. I Use the thumb and Pointer finger method. Using Circular Knitting needles.. I'm going to TRY THIS.. I WILL Come back..and let ya know!!😁

omg! thank you so much! i have been watching different cast on stitch videos trying to find the one my gramma taught me when i was little.i have been interested in getting back into knitting but its been like almost 30 yrs and i was sitting here with a ball of string and two pencils trying to remember how i used to cast on...i decided to watch some videos to refresh my memory and none were exactly it....the simple cast on was one i used as a kid but that wasnt the better one my gramma showed me....after watching several different methods and trying them to see..this was it almost....lol....the beginning was what made me remember..i just pass over the yarn to make the stitch a little different....when you twist the strand over the needle instead of coming under to grab the other part i do a yarn over the needle with my right hand like when you knit.the result is the same....

You said you wrote it up years ago...could you post the written recipe for this cast on method so I could keep it? I am a new knitter at age 77. Christine Spaulding Robie

Im usually very good at following along with these types of tutorials. However, I keep ending up with 2 cast ons with each one. I guess I don't get it.

Thank you so much , it had help me a lot in my design. From Dallas!

I would call it stretchy thumb cast-on to remind me how to do it. Thanks, so useful.

Thank you for this tutorial, I have been looking for a stretchy cast on that is easy and this is perfect and now will be my go to for stretchy cast on patterns.

You have such a soft voice but you tighten down your yarn like you mean business!

Wow, I am really struggling to get this despite being an advanced knitter. Having a tough time pulling each knot snug and also getting my tension right between each c/o stitch -- I suppose both will come with practice (if I can stick with it and not go back to my fave, twisted German. Does anyone have a different video or tute that might help me visualize this better?

I can't follow this, I've been trying for ages. I cast on two stitches instead of one every time... am I doing something obvious wrong?

my grandmother taught me this cast on 20 odd years ago. she always used it. she is 97 now
