Tubular Cast-On in the Round

In this video, I demonstrate the 2×2 tubular cast-on, and how to join this CO in-the-round.

Instructions for working this cast-on:
1. Using a provisional cast-on and scrap yarn, cast-on HALF of the total number of stitches you need.
2. Starting at the slip knot end with a knit row, knit 4 rows of stockinette stitch (knit a row. purl a row).
3. Remove the provisional cast-on and slip those stitches on to another needle, line up those needles.
4. Knit 2 knit stitches from the front needle, 2 purls from the back needle, repeat those Ks and Ps across all of the stitches.
5. If you are joining in-the-round, this is the time to join in-the-round.

The cowl on the mannequin is Color My Cowl, free pattern and tutorial.
The bulky yarn I used for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.
The yellow alpaca yarn is Valley Yarns Sunderland in Beeswax.
The needles I use are Knitter’s Pride Ginger.
