Another wonderful and well-explained video. You are my first go-to person for learning a new technique! Many Thanks

Great demonstration, makes sense and easy to understand when comparing to ordinary long tail cast on. thank you!

Thank you for making this CO simple as it is very lovely. I do like its decorative detail. It is really important to show how counting rows - as you have so that our fabric is understood why the measurment may be off down the road. The C.O. wouldn't typically be taken into consideration. You show here how important that can be especially when measuring for a garment. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much! I was struggling to learn this cast on method. After watching and listening to your tutorial, finally , the key was turned in my head and I now have 134 sts successfully on my needles!

I watched probably 10 videos on this cast-on and couldn't get it until I watched this one. Thank you!!!

Thanks for knitting this slowly🥰

😮 all this time with KZfaq in my life and you’re the first person to tell me about playback speeds 🤦🏽‍♀️. Thank you and I appreciate all you do

Excellent demonstration. I watched a few videos before watching yours and yours was the best !

Excellent, Suzanne, highly informative.

Excellent tutorial! Many thanks for the trouble you take to make such great videos!

I am a self-taught knitter. I have watched a lot of KZfaq videos, but most of them are about "how to make something". Your videos take my knitting to the next level, because you teach me about "how to make them something better"! I wish I found your videos earlier. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for the tutorial AND for telling me about the speed of playback. Never knew that was available

Love the tutorial!!! You are AMAZING!! May your tribe increase!!!

I really appreciate this thorough explanation. Thx so much.

FINALLY a tutorial that is easy to watch and learn from. Thank-you so much.

Best video for German Twisted cast on. This is how my mother taught me. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with sue. Excellent demo

You do such an amazing job of teaching - all the details and explanations! I can't thank you enough,

Thank you for this great video! I was really struggling with this cast on. But your directions on how to hold the yarn made all the difference for me.

Thank you, you are the 4th youtube I used to try to learn this cast on and the first that I could follow. THANK YOU

Great explanation and demonstration, , and 2 colors provides great visual. Thanks!

Your explanations are so thoughtful. No wonder your talent is so honored by 79 thousand+ Followers. Happy New Year, 2021

This is the cast-on my mum taught me (many, many years ago) - thank you for finally giving it a name! She was a lever (aka Irish cottage style) knitter, and so am I (obviously). We hold the working yarn in our right hand, with a long straight needle firmly stuck under the right arm. So we do this cast-on with the tail through the fingers and around the thumb of the left hand, and sling the working yarn over the needle with the right hand. I also do the first cast-on stitch in that way - no slipknots ever. Your method works great for circular needles and short dpn's though (which I cannot stuck under my arm) - I shall definitely try it out!

Excellent, Excellent demonstration. I have seen no other this easy to understand what is happening. Thank you!

so well explained. Thank you so much.

Having the yarn in 2 different colors was really helpful

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I wasn't getting it all until I watched your video!

Great video. Just took up knitting again after many years and I've been trying to figure out why my German cast on stitches were so weird looking. Now I know. And I've been watching you tube videos forever and never knew you could adjust the speed. Thanks for the great tip

Great instructions thank you I love the additional info and why

Thanks I was struggling with this cast on. This is the first-time I got it right.

This was really, really informative and helpful. Thank you so much

Suzanne - Thanks for demystifying this cast on LTCO vs GTCO. More importantly the correct way to cast on as well as what we should do to count the subsequent rows. I will look for your Icelandic Bind off. I will join the Ravelry group as well as a KAL. I have knitted for a very long time and to think I'm just getting this very important concept. Mae

Excellent video and now I shall try it for a cowl that has to go over someone's dreadlocks. I have been knitting since I was 7 and am of German decent and never heard of tis German twisted cast on. Thank you.

I learn sooooooo much from you! Thank you

Holy Crap. Cast On Theory 101. Love it! Such wonderful additional info on a stitch I’ve used but didn’t know diddly about. Thank you so much Suzanne.

I watched 10 German Twisted Cast on videos---couldn't get it. Watched yours, got it. I find your videos are my go to. Your descriptions and information are excellent.

Thank you so much ❤

Thank you so much you are a genius this is the best video ❤

I love this cast on. Thank you❤️🇨🇴

I appreciate you still embrace tradition and keeping your ethnicity alive. Thanks for you! God Bless!

Thank you! ❤ Self taught knitter.

I did this along with you, thennnnnn, you showed exACTLY what I was doing... the wrong thing. Exactly. HA! Yup, I’m a ‘rocker’. I tightened them. I was laughing at that point.

I just started a long tail cast on wondering if I should change it as I’m knitting a cowl. This was so informative thank you.

Thank you!

Very good...using this method more frequently

Thank you for the video. I love your teaching style! I am wondering, why do you put the slip knot on top of the needle? Thanks.

Finally I understand!

So, as you say in your comparison, at least in your knitting, the long tail and the twisted german cast on came out about the same amount of stretchiness as the german twisted. I am assuming this may be in part because you take care to block your stitches so they have a uniform spacing and you don't tighten excessively as you demonstrated not to do. IF this is true, do you still recommend doing the german long tail for say ribbed hats, or top-down socks as many others suggest for added stretchiness? Thank you for this very helpful video. I like that you give warnings what not to do!

Unfortunately this is not everything I need to know about the German twisted cast on. I need to know how to do the purl stitch in it. I have done this several times before but I can't seem to work it out now and I can't find any videos online that are helping me. If you've made one that includes the purl so that the German twisted cast on is in rib, please let me know.

Thank you 🌸

Thanks again ...🌹

I just used this in the round for at hat and am kind of stumped on how to weave my ends in. I watched your binding off in the round video but the german twisted cast on is a bit different. Do you have any advice on how to best approach this?

How would you work this cast on for ribbing? I've played with this trying to simulate k1p1 in the standard longtail cast on and the results look ok but wondering if there is a "right" way. Also played with various ways of using more than one color. I did look thru your tutorials but could not find a tutorial addressing this question. I've been on a "mission" recently trying out all the cast ons and cast offs I can find, and keeping the swatches so I can just select the one I want for a particular project. I wouldn't call myself a designer, but I've been knitting for over 60 years and have happily adapted a few patterns that fit me physically and aesthetically and just try different techiques on the old trusty patterns which are now memorized. P.S. i despised seaming until I found your videos within the last year. I can seam or graft like a champion now thanks to you

Thanks so much. So, when would I use this? Seems if I want to knit in the round and start with knit row that I would not get the nicer of the two edges.

I'm knitting in the round and the CO stitch is twisted is this right? Do i pick up the back loop?

THAN YOU FOR TEACHING THIS OLD NORVAGİAN CAST ON, I WATCHED YOUR 2016 VIDEO AS WELL.I WANT TO ASK, SOME DO THIS COST ON BY USING 2 OR 3 STRADS OF YARN ON RIGHT HAND AND ONE ON LEFT AND DO THE CAST ON IN VERY DIFFEREN WAY, THE RESULT IS KIND OF VERY BULKY STITCH AT THE BOTTOM ON THE NEEDLE I LOVED THE LOOK OF IT COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW HOW CAN WE DO IT. THANK YOU LOVES FROM TURKEY ❤🌷🥰❤.

Love that you teach me about youTube as well as how to knit.

I done the cast on so many times and I get 2 sts each time. I’m supposed to get 1 right?

Thank you for share your expertise! :)

Many thanks! Excellente explanation, Suzanne! One question: this means that when we need to measure the inches of the length, we start measuring from the "first" white row , right?

Can you do a video on the “purl” version of this cast on? As in, for 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing? I learned it years ago but I can’t remember it, and now I can’t find it anywhere! All my bottom-up sweaters use this cast on (the 2x2 version of Old Norwegian) and I just love how they look... thank you!
