- A video knitting lesson showing you how to cast on using the Old Norwegian method. This technique is great if you want a stretchier edge than you get with other cast-on methods.

thank you, your's was the third video I watched and by far the clearest, just the right speed and close up viewing. I really appreciate your time with sharing this.
A Knyghtmere thanks 🙂 glad it was helpful
Thank you! It was that little twist of the thumb that did it for me.
This is my experience exactly! Been knitting for more than 50 years, but didn't know this cast-on. The first two videos...still no clue. Thanks!!
Thank you so much. You are the only person who has been able to explain this clearly enough.
Aw thanks :D Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations! Yours is the video where I finally got this one!!!😂😊🙏😋
Yay!
That was incredible. I watched several others and was just confused. Your calm encouraging voice and perfect speed made it so easy and clear! THANK YOU!
Thanks so much :) Glad it helped you.
At first I thought this was way too hard. But I watched it 3 times and found I was able to anticipate her next step! So I tried it and no biggie!! Even the thumb turning was easy.
Yay!
This helped me so much, thank you! I’ve literally gone through 4 other Norwegian/German cast on videos and not gotten it (even a slow-mo one) but yours was perfect!
What really helped I think is not only you explained every step, but you also indicated where we were going, then went back into the position before, then did it.
This was an awesome teaching video!
Aw thank you :D I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you - slow, comprehensive and clear video. And as you say - perfect for socks which is what I have been looking for. Too many of the socks I've knitted are a bit tight to get on!
Aw I'm glad you liked it :D Happy knitting!
definitely the best one I've watched so far. Thank you!
Aw thank you :)
Thanks for posting this. The close shot of the yarn really helps show how to make the last part work. I *think* I've got it now.
Excellent :) Thanks for watching!
I love you! This is the first video (after watching several) where I was actually able to understand how to do this. Much appreciation and love for your time and effort. :)
Haha thanks! I'm glad it helped you :)
Best explanation of the twisted cast on...ever
Aw thanks very much!
Very clear and direct. Thank you.
Thanks for clear demonstration and reminder that the tail goes to the front and strand from ball of yarn stays to the back.
Glad you liked it :)
Wow, I've watched eight or nine different videos and I finally got it watching yours! Thank you!
Yay! Glad it helped :)
Very good instruction. Your attention on what to do with your thumb for the final step was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful :D
By far the BEST tutorial on this tricky twisty cast-on!
Thank you thank you!!!!!
Aw thank you!
I'm making socks for the first time and this video is a godsend, thank you!!!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the demonstration. It was so clear and easy to follow...mastered it! 😁
Great! Thanks for watching :)
This is the best instruction I've found for the German twisted cast-on! So clear, and I can SEE what you're doing.
Thanks very much :D
Very helpful because it was filmed close up and I could see the needle at all times!!
Finally! I do not know how to knit. As a life long crocheter, knitting is very awkward for me. I have been reading and watching tutorials all day, and finally with yours I got it! Thank you
Brilliant! Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped :)
Old video but I have to comment, one of the best technique teaching methods I've seen! With loopy cast-on and knotting techniques it always look a bit like nonsense, so it takes a good camera focus, clean movements and very clear explanation on them as to not discourage people new to it. Just following this for a few stitches will help your brain make sense of it and you eventually develop a rhythm for the steps!
Aw thanks very much, I'm glad it helped you!
The best casting on vid by far. Great Job. Very clear instructions. I learned a lot from you. Thank you for posting.
Thanks very much :)
I am a new knitter, and went through many vids until I found yours; you have a wonderful, wonderful way of teaching, please keep making videos to teach us.
Aww thank you :D
Wonderful tutorial! After numerous videos, yours was the winner, in my opinion! Teach on!!!
Aw thanks very much! :)
Thanks everybody :) Glad you found this video helpful
I spent ages trying to get my head around this method using another video but it just wasn’t sticking. That twist of the thumb you do seemed to make it so much simpler & I’ve finally cracked it. Thank you so much!!!
Glad it helped! :D
Thank you, yours is the most comprehensive video, you’re a great teacher. I learned it in a few minutes. So glad I found your video 😊
Aw thank you very much :) I'm glad the video helped you
Your video was the only one I've watched that explained that both the tail and the other strand of yarn have to be held with 3 fingers. Once I started doing that, the loop I was getting in between stitches disappeared! Very important detail...thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :D
Your video was the easiest to understand for this method!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank-you!
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far, for this type of cast on. Your teaching skills are very clear and precise. Would you ever do a tutorial on sock knitting. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you. Keep safe and be lucky 💞💞💞
Aw thanks! :) One day I hope to cover sock knitting but it'll be quite a while off yet I'm afraid.
Thanks so much for this! The only one I could understand, and you have a lovely calm voice too. Really helpful when I’m swearing at all the loops on my needle! Much appreciated xx
Haha thank you!
I watched several videos, the speed was nice and slow to start. Excellent explanation for me!
Great to hear! Thanks :D
u are amazing !!!! love you! best teacher ever!
Aw thank you!
Excellent instructions, nice and slow! 👍
Thank you.. after a few failed attempts..you're very good at explaining..after a couple of tries I could do it really well..thanks a lot
Aw thanks :) I'm glad you found it helpful
Yes! I got it no problem! By far best video yet!
Thanks :)
You’re brilliant. Thank you! I was getting completely infuriated trying to learn from other videos. I’m working on a test knit for a friend, and she recommended this cast on.
Aw thanks so much! Glad the video helped :)
Thanks for the very clear explanation!
You are welcome!
Thank you very much for showing slowly it is appreciated
You're welcome :)
Best explanation ever!
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much!! This was wayyy easier to follow and understand than the Very Pink Knits slo-mo one!
Glad it was helpful! :D
Yours was the second video that I watched and very clear!
I'm glad it helped you :)
Still helpful and very well done. Thank you!
Thanks :D
Thank you for your video! Clear, short, and sweet. I prefer using a slip knot for the first stitch with this CO like you show. Other videos use a twisted loop. The problem is that the loop isn't a true stitch and it looks really weird at the end of the first row. 😜
Thank you :) Yes there are variations for a lot of techniques...it's down to personal preference really!
Very very helpful! Thanks so much!
Thank you. I found this an excellent tutorial, especially showing that last stage, which I was finding tricky using other videos:)
Aww I'm so glad it helped you!
Wow, thanks to you, my cast on stitches are looking good!
*Thumbs up* Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this excellent video. As a beginner knitter yours has be the only one I have been able to watch and actually carry out I'm so happy now for my first pair of socks hahaha.
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks :)
Thank you so much. This is the fifth video I watched and I just couldn't master what I was supposed to do with my thumb. I now know thanks to you :-)
So glad it helped you 🙂Thanks for commenting
Excellent video~ thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you - a very well done video. I had learned this once. . . but haven't knitted in a couple of years so needed to learn this one again. The pace was perfect for doing it along with you! How to do in came back quickly -- I'm on my way!
Thanks very much for your comment...and good luck with your knitting 🙂
Thank you so much! I finally got it!
Great! :D
I too watched other videos but it was yours that helped me to finally get it right. Thank you! :)
Glad it helped you :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you. Very clear.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow.. the long tail cast on has worked great for my socks for years think I'll stick with it. This is too many moves to get a single stitch. The video is good but I can't see this as any better.
They say the more moves and twists with the yarn, the stretchier the cast-on will be.
I know this is a super old comment, but once you learn it it’s super fast. I can cast on without thinking about it & I’m not sure I could do a normal long tail now without looking it up 😂
excellent video. well timed and explained to follow and repeat along. THANK YOU !
Thanks very much :)
Brilliant. Thank you
Glad you liked it! :)
Thank you! This was the video that final taught me this technique!! Frustration over 😊😊😊
Great! Glad it helped you :)
Thank you for doing this video! I’m trying to learn to knit socks and I’ve never heard of this cast on method and although the book I have is good, your video and explanation were far superior!! 😊....Tara
Aw thanks!
Love your video🙏
Thanks!
Such a helpful video! Thank you :)
Thanks :D
Thank you💕
You’re welcome 😊
Very clear
Thank you :)
Conosco un metodo molto più semplice con lo stesso effetto. Incredibile che si TH-cam non ci sono video.
Thanks! I finally got it now! :)
Yay! Glad to hear it 🙂
Oh, never seen this one, Im a norwegian. Looks a bit more difficult, and alot around up and down. Show us how it looks when u r done with a few round plz?
Thank you
You're welcome :)
I thing it's going to be my favourit cast on :-)
I do this method but without the crazy thumb gyrations
Thank you!!!
Thank you! This is great! I actually have an easier time with bending my thumb down! LOL! Perfect pace for me too!
Excellent! Glad it helped :)
how do you continue knitting after the row is done?
You can do any stitch for row one after the cast on row. Just take your second needle and start knitting/purling with the yarn now running between the stitches and the ball of yarn :)
I have videos on how to knit/purl if you're stuck.
I have done it over and over and it puts 3 stitches on my needle
Hi! I think you must be catching an extra strand of yarn somewhere, but I can't be more specific without seeing what you're doing, sorry.
This is my third tutorial on the Old Norwegian Cast On: I end up with multiple loops instead of one loop cast on each time. Please HELP!
Hi! It's difficult to know without seeing you try it, but it sounds like you are accidentally taking the needle under and/or over too many strands of yarn. Maybe slow down the speed of the video and make sure you're not catching any extra yarn strands on your needle. Sorry I can't be of more help. Thanks for watching :)
I'm not an experienced knitter so my question might seem silly. Are these instructions for left handed knitters or right handed? I'm right handed. Should I be holding the loops in my right hand? Or follow the video as is?
Follow the video as is....I'm right-handed too :)
❤❤❤
I’m new to knitting so pardon the silly question but that initial slip stitch on the needle, does it count as your 1st stitch once you start knitting? I ask because you referred to the second as the “first cast on stitch” so it made me wonder if some of my stitch count issues have been caused by including the initial sip stitch…
Hi! No such thing as a silly question - yes that slip stitch is the first stitch :)
@@RokoleeDIY thank you 😊
How about the purl stitch? This is the knit stitch only, I believe
I wouldn't really categorise it as knit or purl, you can do any stitch after this cast on. Thanks for watching :)
how do you make it not too tight?
Try and space the stitches out on your needle if you're making them too tight. You'll get it with practice :)
For the last step, instead of bending the thumb down, I like to find the 'X' and go through it. [it's the same thing really.] Thanks!
As long as you get the right result, it's all good!
Very clear. Thank you.
Thanks :)
😊 thank you so much
No problem :D
Thank you!
Thank you!
