Sometimes reading instructions about knitting makes sense. And other times you just need to see it. Here’s a collection of some of my favorite video tutorials.
Magic Knot Hands down the simplest way to join a new yarn. No ends to weave in. Did you hear me? NO ENDS TO WEAVE IN. |
Emily Ocker’s Cast On If you’re starting a circular object from the center, this method is a clever way to cast on. Think shawls, hats and specialty garments. |
|
Very Stretchy Cast On I suspect this has another name, but I love this simple to execute cast on! The video shows ribbing that stretches out as far as the ribbing. You gotta try this one. |
Long tail Purlwise Cast On If you’re casting on ribbing and love the long tail cast on, this one is a simple extension on the traditional long tail. I just used this last week and loved it – and really needed a video to get it right. |

Lifted Increase (Right -Leaning) One of my favorite invisible increases. I use a lifted increase more than any other. |
Lifted Increase (Left-Leaning) If you want symmetrical increases, you’ll need this one too. |
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing Jody. Happy Friday.
Thanks for sharing those videos. They say you learn something new every day. I never heard of the magic knot before and I’ve been knitting for around 40 years!! No more weaving in yarn joins for me
Excellent videos. I haven’t tried the left and right increases that way, but they look brilliant. I will be trying them on my next project. I love Jane Richmond’s Magic knot. It works like a charm.
Great videos Jody! Thanks a bunch for sharing
Thanks for sharing the videos Jody! The magic knot is incredible! I’ll have to test it someday
