Slow Motion Provisional Cast-On

Provisional cast-ons are a way to create a cast-on that can be removed later, leaving you with live stitches. This video just demonstrates working the provisional cast-on. The next steps after the cast-on should be explained in your pattern. (Like what to knit next, when to remove the provisional cast-on, etc.) If you are unclear about what to do next, please contact the pattern designer for clarity.

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.

The other videos in my slo-mo series can be found here.

The crochet hook I use is by Boye, the needle is a Knitter’s Pride Ginger double-pointed needle from a set.

Weaving Ends in Reverse Stockinette

In this video I demonstrate how to weave in the end on what is usually the front side of the the knitting…in reverse stockinette, the purl-side of the work is actually the “right” side.

You can see my other videos on weaving in ends here.

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Aran Chunky.

Slow Motion Correcting Color-Change Jog

In this video, I demonstrate how to correct the “stair-steppy” jog you get when knitting stripes in the round, demonstrated in slow-motion. For one-round stripes, see the link below for Helix Knitting.

The other videos in my slo-mo series can be found here.

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.
The needles I use are from interchangeable sets:
Knitter’s Pride Ginger 16″
Knitter’s Pride Zing 16″

If you are working one round stripes, the technique is different. For clean one-round stripes, you want to use the Helix Knitting technique.

The hat I use for demonstration is just something I made up for the video. Here are the quick instructions to make this baby hat, because I know someone will ask. 🙂
Fits 0-8 mo
Bulky yarn, size US 10 (6mm) needles.
CO 60, work 5 rounds 2×2
change color and knit 4 rounds
alternate color every 4 rounds until hat measures 5″ from cast-on edge (that was the ribbing plus 4 rounds of stripes or 16 rounds, for me). On the last round of this section, place a marker every 12 stitches.
Decreasing
Round 1: *k2tog, k to 2 stitches before marker, ssk, sm* repeat between markers to end of round.
Round 2: knit
Repeat these two rounds until 10 stitches remain, k2tog around, knit 1 round. Cut yarn and string through the remaining 5 stitches.
