With the Knitted Knockers tutorial coming out next week, I want to release this slo-mo video to cover the trickiest part of the project.

If you’d like to get ready for the Knitted Knockers tutorial, here is more info.
The free pattern we’re using
List of approved yarns
You can use magic loop or flexible double-points for Knitted Knockers, but I’ll be demonstrating on DPNs.

The needles I’m using are Knitter’s Pride Ginger double-pointed needles.
The yarn is Paintbox Yarns Chunky.
The scarf on the mannequin is Bay’s Edge (not my design). Here is my Ravelry project page with details on the yarn, etc.

In this video I demonstrate the knitted CO, a standard cast-on.

The other “mother” cast-ons:
Long-Tail CO
Cable CO

The hat and cowl on the mannequin is called Moorings by Vanessa Ewing. It is the current “perk” for Brioche Tier patrons of the audio podcast. You can listen to the VeryPink Knits Podcast in your favorite podcast app, or here on my website.

In this video, I demonstrate the Backwards-Loop CO in slow motion. This is not a sturdy CO, like one you would use to start a new project, but it is handy for adding a few stitches.

Sturdier cast-ons, good for starting a project –
Long-Tail CO
Knitted CO

The shawl on the mannequin is Lilli Pilli, link to my Ravelry project page.

The sweater I’m wearing is store-bought, not hand knit. 🙂

You can see my other slow-motion videos here.
Here is another way to work the long-tail CO.
Knitted CO

The shawl on the mannequin is Autumn Crunch by Vanessa Ewing, a pattern exclusively for Brioche Tier patrons of the VeryPink Knits Podcast (an audio production). More information here.

The needles I used are Knitter’s Pride bamboo DPNs, and the yarn is Paintbox Yarns Chunky.
