Knitting Help - Slow Motion German Twisted Cast-On

- For very visual learners, an addition to my slow motion playlist. The German Twisted Cast-On is my go-to whenever I need a CO with extra stretch.
You can see my other slow-motion videos here:
• Slow-Motion Techniques
The needles I'm using in this video are Knitter's Pride Ginger. The yarn is Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky.
Because of the clarity of your videos, I have tried (and accomplished!) knitting techniques I never would have attempted. You are my go-to teacher for all things knitting. Your slow motion videos are greatly appreciated by this visual learner.
I am so very thankful that you did it so many times in a row specifically so we wouldn't have to rewind. It makes it very easy to practice without interruption and I haven't seen many other knitting tutorials that do this. Very clear instructions and easy to follow along. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the slo-mo!! I'd watched 5 different demonstrations, including your regular speed one, and just couldn't get it before this.
I have been knitting for 19 years. This is the third cast-on I know know now, thanks to you. I appreciate it.
Wowza! I already do this CO, but learned it another way, from a book. The book has this method,too,but I struggled to follow the instructions.. Gotta try this now; it should be faster!
For anyone who needs to see this yet slower (I did), click or tap on the gear icon at the lower right corner of the screen to enter TH-cam settings and you can change the playback speed. I also turned off the sound; the video alone is clear enough.
So great that the stitches go on and on and on to really get a feel for how-to. Thank you!
Yes, that’s a great feature in YT to speed up or slow down.
Your videos are so invaluable, thank you so much for the time that you put into creating them. It was you and the Knit and Crochet today show on PBS that taught me how to knit seven years back now, and I STILL refer to your back catalog of videos for help. They and you are terrific😊
I come back to this tutorial over and over again every time I cast on a new sock. Thank you so much for doing this and for repeating it so many times during the tutorial.
OMG! These slo-mo tutorials are perfect! Thank you for recording them for us!
LOVE THIS! I especially love that you are doing the last part “through the loop” instead of bending the thumb down, because I’ve been doing it this way for awhile and was hoping I wasn’t botching it. Also, I LOVE the slip knot instead because now I do not get two stitches to try and join in the round on my itty bitty “0” sock needle! THANK YOU! You are my go-to gal!!!!
So TRUE… it was the whole twisting of the thumb thing in other TH-cam tutorials that had me flabbergasted 😳
Exactly how I felt. I watched a few others and they were great but I couldn’t get the thumb drop part, this explanation made more sense to me, pull it under the bottom loop on the thumb. I can accomplish that by loosening up my index finger
I love this video so much. I've come back to it many times!
Great! The nice thing about knitting techniques is that they don't expire. :)
I'm left handed, so will have to watch in the mirror. Thanks. All your instruction vids are so clear.
I am left handed to but I seem reverse thing in my head. My only problem is I do the longtail and this backwards and magic cast on back wards so the purls face out side.
Me too but she’s my go too. I usually lay it flat and turn it so it’s facing the other direction. But I do love Staci’s videos
Thank you so much for these tutorials, +verypinkknits! I find myself coming back to your videos over and over for the clearest, most concise information. Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle some techniques that otherwise would make some patterns seem inaccessible to me. Bravo!
I do this cast-on on two needles, removing the second when I start knitting. I find this gives it a little extra stretch, and it looks really good.
That’s an amazing idea! Especially with socks and thicker lower calves, this is amazing!
Yes, slomo helps me because it’s rare to find examples with leftie knitters. Thank you❤
Thank you so much! I’m making a pattern for the first time in 6 years, and could not for the life of me remember how to do this cast on!
One of the best tutorials to a beautiful new cast on! Thanks!
Thank you SO much for your exceptionally clear (and slo-mo) video!! I chose this cast-on for a specific project, but I was lost until I watched your demonstration. I so appreciate your easy-to-follow instruction!
So glad I found this! I tried 2 or 3 videos before this and just could not get it.
You could tell that the knitters in the other videos could do this in their sleep and had trouble slowing it down enough to explain it.
I totally get that, I’ve even been there when teaching friends to crochet, but it’s really frustrating being the beginner wanting to say “woah! Woah! What did you just do there?!”
This, I think, is a great work around for that issue. I’m definitely going to be coming back to these videos
Oh my goodness! I had watched several other videos and just COULD NOT get this cast on. Your rhythmic "Under-over-up etc." instruction had me casting on stitches within seconds! Thank you for a great tutorial, VeryPink Knits!
What a gift this video is - my brain (and my fingers) finally understand this cast on! Thank you!
Brilliant! I love the clarity of your voice, the close-up video, the slow-mo - it's all wonderful, thanks for this, so very helpful!
It helped me. I only had to rewind once. The main thing is to not give up. If it isn't working keep trying until you find the one thing you are doing incorrectly and change that. Sometimes it's just one tweak and the whole thing comes together!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! If this was a VHS tape it would have snapped because I had to stop, back it up, and watch it again so many times. Love your videos and your honesty when you mess up. Ooops!
This was perfectly executed. The repeated stitches and the audio cues were so helpful!
Thanks for this! It took a few watches to get it, but now, it really is like a dance! Couldn't have done it without the slo-mo!
Slow motion helps greatly for learning a new technique.
Oh my. My head hurts. A little bit harder?!? That's a fact. It figures that the only fingerless glove pattern that I liked that was easy had this crazy mess as a cast on. Thank you very much for the slow motion. If you could have made it even slower, I would not have complained. Hoping my knitting expert neighbor knows how to do this, so I can pick her brain.
I have finally got my head around this method. Awesome method. Thank you 😊
This has become my go-to cast on for hats. Thank you for such a clear tutorial!
Clear, concise and wonderful. Thank you. I look forward to using this on my next pair of socks.
It is nearly eleven at night and I have just mastered the cast on 🤭🙈👏👏yay😁
Yay! I finally got it! I've been trying to figure out this CO and was getting very frustrated. Watching your slo-mo video was just what I needed. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! My long tail cast on was a wee bit too tight and this one saved my bacon!
Thank you thank you thank you! Whenever I pick a pattern and it specifies a cast-on that I either have never done or haven’t done in a while, I know I can count on your videos to explain them better than the pattern writer (or my book of cast ones & bind offs.)
This broke my brain being back to front for me but once I got my head around it was extremely helpful, thank you!
Thank you for this video! This is now my favorite cast on, and someday I'll be able to do it without a refresher, but until then, your video is so clear and helpful and has saved me hours of frustration!
I love your tutorials. Thank you so much for the slow motion ones. I go to your tutorials always. You demonstrate techniques clearly. Thanks again.
Thank you! Thank you! Really helpful. It took a little while of concentration and had few goes and dummy runs and then it just clicked and I couldn't stop! Amazing. So pleased.
Thank you, again and again thank you. I always come back to this video for my German twisted rib cast on. It is so helpful ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video! I was stuck trying to learn from photos in a book and was getting frustrated, this video really helped!
Thank you so much for providing slow-mo videos! I find the German Twisted cast-on to be fun-a dance!
Great tutorial - love the SloMo. I have to CO 308 sts for a project. I think this technique will be firmly embedded in my memory.
Awesome video. Clean uncluttered background, not too much confusing unnecessary talking, clear, concise, you just gained a subscriber! Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks so much
As always, the BEST visuals and explanations. Thank you so much, you’ve saved my hat making 😊
Thank you for the directional words corresponding with solw motion. You pin pointed my error and can repair with practice. Wahoo!
You are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you so much for the slow motion video, I have been trying to learn this cast on and finally understand it. It reminds me of motions used in Cat’s Cradle: A twisty ‘reach-in’ to grab a strand, and then back out the way you came in!
oh my goodness i was watching another video and i was getting so frustrated and ive been knitting several years!! i got this with a couple rewatches of your video thank u so much!!!
This was very helpful! I was very intimidated at first and after following your video, you are totally right! It was like a dance. Thank you!
Okay, took a few tries but now I have a beautiful stretchy cast on. Thanks!
So funny…. You know what I sing when doing this? “Back to the middle and around again…”. It works. 🤷🏻♀️ Thank you for your videos always.
I love your slo-mo tutorials! This is exactly what I need!
You are the best teacher
Thank you Staci. It was very helpful. Off I go, to make TAAT socks for my mom! Have a great day.
Thank you so much - simply the best tutorial. The slow motion is fab!!!!
Thank you so much for creating this slow-mo video! I just found out about this cast-on method & wanted to try it to give some extra stretch for a larger-than-average hat for a customer. I was struggling with the written instructions and illustrations I had found online. This was so perfect, as I am a visual learner. Thank you again!!
Super helpful!! Watched it through AND rewound a few times but I finally got it!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!! I had not heard of this cast on method and needed to learn for a garment I'm getting ready to start. Your slow motion teaching is just what I needed!! Will check out more of your videos. Thanks again and have a nice weekend!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Best tutorial on this CO ever!
You really are the best teacher! Love your videos. I've become such a skilled knitter, thanks to you. :)
Thank you! Your video made this technique easy to master! I appreciate you.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much. I was lost on getting this down
Yay! It took a minute or two but I think I've got it! I'm keping your video up while I do the actual cast on for the hat I am making! Thanks!
❤thank you this was so helpful. Couldn’t have done it without you!!
Thank you, thank you for this slow mo version! I finally GOT IT!
Woo Hoo...... finally got it.....now I can start the next [1st] part of my/your pattern.
THANK YOU.....love your slo mo vids...... Big hugs......
You are a great teacher!!! Thanks for being my go-to!!!!
So clear, precise, and well-paced. I love feeling confident about how to do this beautiful cast on method. Much appreciated!
Thank You so much for this video and slow motion.......Your always easy to understand🥰
This video taught me this technique. Thank you! You gained a sub.
Your videos are just so amazing! Thank you!!!!!!So helpful and really made for the learner! Thank you!
really good best video to learn. not gonna lie. its not the easiest cast on but looks nice. its does take time and hurts my finger slightly so may have too take breaks if u need loads of stitches.
Great video! I really was struggling with this one from my book.
That's why I'm here! So much easier to see things done. Glad I could help. :)
Awesome tutorials, thank you. The slow motion is so helpful!
Great video!!! Thank you so much!
took me a few, but go it! I kept getting lost in the thumb twist at the end. thank you!
This is an amazing video thank youuuuu I finally managed to do this correctly ❤ now I just need to do it 500 more times jdskdjskdjsk
I like this cast on, looks very uniform & tidy. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Love your videos. You have helped me so many times over the course of many projects!
Thank you so much for this video, very easy to follow, I finally got it after a few repeats 👌
I love your videos. You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Such great timing! I needed a stretchy cast on for a new project this morning and BOOM! There it was! Thanks so much for the slow-mo detail and simple explanation.
That’s a little different to your regular speed method. You don’t ‘drop your thumb’ in this one. I guess it gives the same outcome. Anyway - I love your tutorials - always clear, easy to follow and love your music ❤. Thank you for sharing your expertise ❤❤
🙏🙏🥰🥰 Thank you so much!
Thanks so, so much! That was just AWESOME!!
Perfect timing. I just added this to my knitting journal as something to check out on your videos. Going to make this my go-to cast on. X
Super helpful, I think I finally got it!!
How beautiful! Thank you.
Fantastic video. Thank you 💜
Well done. Thanks 😊
Oh. My. Gosh! Girl, this is awesome. I really need to make on my needles and convert to the loom for everyone. Thanks for the visual. I was making some German short row socks on the loom to test the other day and the longtail on the loom, for that gauge, flared so bad! I hope I can do it justice. Have a great week ❤️ Kristen 🧶
amazing cast on! thank you
Brilliant tutorial as always! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! Your slow motion videos are a godsend!
This helped tremendously. Thank you
Thank you for this slow motion video of this head-on it really helped me learn how to do it.
Okay, I'm lost with this one! I'll try it, but I'm trying to learn to knit continental holding the yarn in the left hand! This is my new goal!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much
I had to watch it twice but I nailed it now, this was perfect. Thank you!
I love your videos! The best!
Thank you so much! Extremely helpful.
