Hi, this is a very fast tutorial on how I made this seam right here on this cozy and what I was trying to do is to avoid my cast on to look this stringy and I'd rather want it to have the cast off part as my entrance to put your phone or your cigarettes or whatever you want to hold on this cozy so I decided that I was not going to cast on and need all the way up and then have a seam which would have been probably very thick and bulky and I rather wanted to have something more even like this so I think I have invented this technique I don't know that anybody has done it before it's not that difficult and I think many people that knows how to knit in the round who have probably come up with this idea before but I couldn't find it on YouTube so I decided to make this video. This was the end up seam that I have in the inside of the garment of the piece of fabric but I literally cast on on the seam and then start working a little with my cast off right here so it looks pretty much like this this was the cast on and I started it on that side and then I put it on the needles and twist it around to create the seam so let's see if I can show you how I did that you're gonna be needing in the round and you're gonna need either a magic loop or a your double-sided needles these are small so you can see this video and I'm using black and white hope that helps you now for doing these kind of cast on you're gonna need to put two needles together because you're gonna be doing a technique that is called knit in the back and knit in the front and you need really a lot of material needs one of the needs one of the stitches to be able to do that so I'm gonna start with casting on a few I don't think I need to show you the whole piece so you're going to wear with me and I'm only gonna cast 10 stitches so I have two right here three four five and I'm counting on the fact that you're in a hard cast on and you're in all the techniques so I'm gonna try to do it very fast so you have to watch a whole long video I have seven eight nine and ten now I cast on ten but my my project requires 20 so you always have to cast on half of what you need I'm going to now detach one of the needles turn around my work and use my tail move the tail to the side and my active yarn to the top and I'm going to cast one sorry need one in the front and I'm gonna leave my stitch right there on the other needle and then I'm gonna cast I mean sorry need one in the back right so out of one of them I'm gonna have two I'm gonna do the same two every single one I'm sorry about that okay so need in the front and need in the back make in the front oops and I'm going to make it back I have made it three of them but I have a render four sorry six meal stitches in the front and in the back and in the front and in the back and I'm gonna do that with all of them around trying to create that seam and these will be the beginning of my work not the end so I have one more here and when I finish I just have 20 of my new needle and then I have the last one made in the front and in the back oops sorry and the back you are this increases you're not going to decrease this is gonna be your full amount of stitches for your project I'm sorry about that okay now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna separate them into two sorry different needles I'm gonna put one stitch in the front and I got to make sure that the yarn is coming from the one I put in the front I'm gonna put one in a different one the first one in the front the second one in the back first one in the front and the second one in the back and I do that for every single one of them into different needles see I have moved five of them and I continue that one in the front I want in the back one in the front and one in the back separate the two that I need it on the same original cast on stage I'm gonna separate those two back in front that way my last one to move on to the new needle and I should have done on each side see now when I told you that you needed to keep the thread coming on the front of your work is because what we're gonna do now is we're going to we're knitting bottom up we're going to clip our work and this is gonna be the last needed stitch so I'm gonna now need in the round this is a leave on comfortable the first couple of rounds you can put it in a magic look now or you can put it on more double pointed needles for the sake of this video I'm gonna leave it like it is and because I'm not gonna finish this project I'm going to just show you where I do I'm knitting the first side remember that I turn it around and when I finish on this side I'm gonna move to the next side to the other needle so I'm gonna have to give it a talk right here at the end to keep them close together just remember this is in the round it is a little bit separate right now so I'm going to move the tail to the other side and we're going to continue on the other side right there right there I'm gonna do it around and your tail is going to start tucking itself in on the inside of your arm and later you can hide it in your work you can cut it or your preferred way of dealing with that so I told you this was going to be a leave on comfortable on the first round then it gets really easier so I need both sides need on this side and I'm going to keep on doing that and I also told you I can add more needles to avoid this gap right now I'm just gonna toggle it and tighten it a little bit so you can see how this takes shape in that pretty much it I started a seam on the cast on side with a knitting in the back and it did in the front increase and that's that's all there is to it so now you can have this very nice even thin seam and the real one is going to look like just a line of pearls right in the back that's it thank you for watching
