This is my go to cast on. I find it a bit stretchier than long tail, which just is too tight for me. Also very durable for edges that get a lot of wear, like mittens and top down socks.
Thank you for mentioning this, because I've never liked the flimsy messy look of my mitten cast on. I'll try this one on my next pair of mittens!
I TOTALLY agree!
The CO method gives you the first knitted row automatically.
It looks apparently to be purl on both sides but MAKE NO MISTAKE, there is a difference 😉, so make a few swatches with the first row after CO. Start e.g. with a knit and then CO another swatch with first row after being a purl. Then you'll get a pretty good idea on how brilliant this cast on is.
Thank you, I will practice this cast on. I think its really nice .
😊
good to know-- thanks!
What I like about the German twisted Cast on is the fact that it is quite stretchy.
I am also a German native living in USA. Mother taught me this as a five year old and called it "alter Norwegischen Anschlag"
This is my favorite cast on for socks. It's a little more stretchy than the regular long tail cast on, but still tidy and stable.
I called this one the old Norwegian cast on. Here is how I remember. Under 2 not 1 like the long
Tail, then “dive” between the 2. Grab right side yarn same as long tail. Twist hand a bit to pull thru loop on the left.
For whatever reason the word dive for that extra step helped me a lot. Great cast on…stretchy and sturdy.
Carlos invented his own version. 😆
I REALLY appreciate watching someone else learning right along with me. I like the camaraderie and the honesty of it. Sometimes things are a struggle to learn and that's totally Ok. It's real life.
That is true!
Well said. It is comforting and comfortable taking risks with Arne and Carlos!
I use this cast on all the time, but I’m having a flashback watching Carlos. I spent a lot of time trying to get it the first time. Once you do, it’s like a dance with your fingers.
Hi my favourite guys. You two cracked me up!! 😂. That tutorial was a hot mess!…in the most charming, quirky, funny and wonderful way. This time Carlos’ sweater gets the compliment. He looks great in red! Keep up your perfect imperfection. ♥️
The part where Carlos has to redo it, was super helpful, though it was challenging for Arne's patience.
Ahhh just tried this out for the first time on my cardigan which called for 159 cast on stitches-
I redid it 5 times - I ran out yarn the last couple of times- I have it down now with plenty of practice! And I agree it makes a very nice edge.
Aka the Old Norwegian Cast On, this has become my must do cast on for socks! More stretchy than long-tail & decorative too!❤️❤️
I use for all cuff down socks too, as well as for gloves. Try knitting the first round before you start the ribbing in round two. It’s almost like a slim I-cord and looks really pretty.
For us, you are anything but chaotic! You chill us out beautifully!
My father Knut Jul Svendsen always told me that We learn something new all the time 💙🙏🏼🥰🇳🇴🌹
Well said!
Your hairdos are so perfectly balanced 🥰
I use the German Twisted Cast On for a stretchier bind on.
I think the German twisted will be a good solution to a conundrum I perceive the regular long tail CO (LTCO)…LTCO makes the stitches present themselves as purls when you start row 1 of the project. German twisted means that you are able to begin your project with the knit row facing you. Thanks for reminding me about this CO!
I can’t, can’t even, I am still giggling. 😂. Going to watch it again now!
I learned this cast on from my norwegian cousin in norway. It is very good for socks!
Oh yes, this is like a knitted cast on, looking at the stitches on the needle. Thank you!
This is my go to caston for everything. Love how stretchy and nice it is.
OMG CARLOS THAT LOOKS SO HARD..I DO NOT KNIT..YA DID A GREAT JOB CARLOS..YOU HUNG IN THERE..THATS A VIRGO FOR YOU🤪 JILL from New York
My grandmother taught me this cast on in 1967. She told me it was more elastic. She also said you knit the first row along with the cast on. This is my preferred cast on, but when knitting things like the eyes of your knitted dolls it adds too much volume in the pupil which effects the look of the eyes. So now always use the regular long tail for your patterns.
Hello from another Canadian. This is my go to cast on. I use it consistently as it is now in my muscle memory. Tough to learn I recall but it’s there now. BTW. all your videos make me 😊. Best gift ever
Easy ,,peasy,,thx for sharing,and teaching this old dog a new trick.😁 the pink made it a bit hard to see the stitches..
Thanks for teaching the German Twisted cast-on. Another new skill for me.
It reminds me teaching 4 of my friends to knit last year. It was a desaster.😂 one of my friend got angry and called herself idiot.
I was so frustrated and told her : It's okay,no worry! All you need to do is practice. No one was born to know doing long tail cast on! Please don't call yourself idiot! It took me a year to learn to knit and I didn't think myself as an idiot. Just relax and have fun playing the yarn!
After all I let her did the finishing such as cast off to make her feel a bit accomplished of this project. Then she finally had a smile on her face!
LoL
You sound like a great teacher!
Hi guys. These tutorials are great. Thanks so much. Think I might keep to my long tail cast on though. What was so good was seeing Carlos try. Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday guys.
I am german, but I never saw this cast-on before.I have to practise, but I think, I will use it.Thank you!🙂
So fun to see different techiques. I cant imagine anyone giving you a thumbs down.
Great thanks for showing this one. My next project uses this cast on for a summer top.
Thank you for showing us this method of cast on !
I use this cast on all the time now. I like the edge it gives.
I don't know why my comment was removed. I wrote that this is my go-to cast-on because it's stretchier. I learned it years ago as the "OLD NORWEGIAN CAST-ON." There are several TH-cam videos that teach it as the "Old Norwegian or German Twisted Cast-on."
th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=old+norwegian+cast+on+knitting
I agree Carol.
Hi Carol, we haven’t removed any comments, thank you for watching!
Thanks Arne and Carlos..I do this cast on alot.
I use this method for cuff down socks and whenever I want a very sturdy (and I think somewhat stretchier) cast-on. Thanks for the refresher!
I think I will stay with my way of casting on too Carlos ! Thank you for sharing 💕🇨🇦
This seems like a cast on that you really have to pay attention to what you are doing. But as Arne said, you can really get into a rhythm with it.
I’ve never used this cast-on before, but I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for demonstrating and teaching step by step. It is so helpful having Carlos try it, too, as we are learning together! 🤗 thank you!
I'm going to try this cast on to see what that edge looks like, I haven't seen it before. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow! Very very complicated for me! I do Uk 🇬🇧 style finger and needle! I can understand the reason it makes the stitch very secure! I’ve yarn same colour and same style and colour of Carlos jumper! Thank you as always! Happy knitting 🧶 xx 🧶🥰🧶
I love your jumper Arne, thanks again for a very informative video xx
This is my favorite cast on. I use it for every cast on.
This looks tricky, but I'm going to give it a try! Thanks!
Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I love you two!! I agree, Carlos, it seems a bit 'extra'.. If I understood when it would be useful, maybe I would consider using it. I think a Provisional Cast On would be wonderful tutorial, too! Happy Sunday!!
Use for socks, mittens, hats & baby sweaters!
👍🏻 what Karen said😊
@@ARNECARLOS thank you both!! 💜🧶
I am german and have been knitting since I was 8 years old but never did this " german cast on" before!Thank you for showing it!Lesson learned 😆
Neither have I, nor my mum, who has knitted for even longer. I will try it though.
😂
I always look forward to your Sunday tutorials, and of course, the Wedensday Sit & Knit podcasts!
Thank you Kathie
Very interesting! It much easier to watch Arne do it than trying to follow pictures in a book. Thank you!
I love this cast on and use it all the time! I find myself thinking of it like doing a dance and hum along to myself while I am doing it!
Great to learn this cast on, have been looking something like it for socks and sweaters. Thank you! And thank you for all your wonderful cultural videos, they are an invaluable cultural gateway for my niece and her professor husband - they will be moving from Germany to Bergen in May, just in time for the national holiday.
My favourite cast on!
I can’t imagine when I might use this cast on but it was fun to watch you both! Tak and be well, Sally 🌹
You are welcome
I love this cast on! It seems stretchier for cuff down socks, which is where I mostly use it. Plus it looks pretty! Oh--and I have to look up how to do it every time, but it's worth it!
Don't know that I will be able to do that but I will try. Thank you Carlos for trying it as well. It shows that even someone as experienced as you are with knitting takes a little while to adjust to a new stitch that you hadn't encountered before.
Have to try, this cast on. Learn a lot from both of u.. TY
That is the attraction of this cast on, it is definitely stretchier than the standard long tail cast on, and it is my go to for baby sweaters especially for top down as baby heads are so much bigger than you expect!
Lovely!!!! Not chaotic, it’s ok! 😃😍😘
I love the German twisted cast on and use it a lot. It's very flexible and I like the edge that it makes.
I do it the same way Arne does it. It's beautiful for hats.
Cynthia
I really like that this cast on. I also like the long tail but this offers a bit more stability. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are welcome!
Greetings from Turkey. I love your videos and tutorials . Thanks so much for teaching and also spreading positive energy and good vibes .
You are welcome!
This has become my go-to CO method since I learned it about 4 months or so. I prefer it over general long tail CO. I have become faster now that I’m more used to it. I like to use it for socks and sweaters because I feel it’s neater looking for the rib. Now I’m learning the I-cord CO… my goodness! Don’t want slick needles learning this one! I’m preparing to make a poncho and one edge has this I-cord along one edge.
Cheryl
I use this for all my projects where I want a bit more of a stretch..... Love this CO.
Thank you. You made it look very easy so I will try it on my next pair of socks as it meant to be stretchy.
I will try this for my socks! Looks like fun😀. Thank you
Like Arlene Tepper, I think this is a good CO for socks (cuff down). I use a variety of COs depending on what I’m knitting. German Twisted/old Norwegian is a fun one.
Looks like you guys got some more snow! It's been warm here - upper 50's and 60's Fahrenheit. I'll have to watch your video a few times in order to learn this cast-on. Looks good!
Thanks for such a fun tutorial! German Twisted Cast-on is my favorite cast-on. It's more stretchy than a standard long-tail so it's particularly good for Brioche and Ribbing. 💕
hi guys i am more of a crocher so i can knit but it is good to have more ways to cast on to now i am doing embrodery this week but enjoyed today now look forward to wed see you then thanks for today
Thank you Arne and Carlos. This is a new technique I wil use many times.
You are welcome!
Thank you for sharing, also your sweaters look great!
Thank you Lisa!
I hear the phrase "Purl with a Twisted Cast On," and keep thinking of "The Girl with the Pearl Earring!" 😄 Famous book titles, converted to knitting!
Clever
I just learned this and it was called Old Norwegian cast-on. It's very stretchy and great for socks. Thanks for another great tutorial.
You are welcome
Like others this is my go to Cast on. It's stretchy. Get for any project you need stretch.Thanks for the video.
This may be a bridge too far for me😉. Thank you Arne and Carlos for the lesson❤️❤️
Will definitely try this cast on on my next pair of top down socks, thank you Arne and Carlos!, 🥰, Sharon.
You are welcome!
No bloopers! I don't know to be proud you got it in one, or disappointed, lol
😂😊
this looks like a nice cast on for top down socks, as I read from others that it is nice and stretchy. I use channel island cast on for socks at the moment for the same reason but that gives a sort of picot edge. I think I will try this German cast on for a change as it looks very neat.
I use this for casting on socks. I learned the trick to know if I did it correctly was to see the last step of putting the needle through a tiny triangle. Nice job as usual guys! 💕
Hey you two, I`m German but I`ve never heard of that cast on. Thank you.
You are welcome, we are not sure if it comes from Germany😉
Carlos, We Virgos ♍️ have brains that work in series, not in parallel- in electrical terms. I cannot multitask either 😊
I am with Carlos I will stay with the long tail cast on.🥰
Lol I thought I was gonna learn something new . But that's how I always casted on my stitches. great for socks and mittens .and hats well everything
Lovely video! Thank you xx
I just love you guys.
❤😊
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I used to think that this cast on was too difficult for me, but you have inspired me to try it. Thanks to your excellent instructions I have learned something new. I will be using it a lot from now on.
You should give it a go, it is a useful cast on
Love this cast on! It's great for cuffs and ribbings at the bottom of a sweater. It's great for hats. It's wonderful for kids' clothes because it is durable. It stretches and doesn't stretch out of shape.
❤️😊
I do a German twisted stitch cast on always because it is stable as well as stretchy.
This is a great cast on for socks. It's stretchy and gives a nice edge.
I too, use this cast on for mittens. Makes a stretchier cast on and it’s neater looking (for me) than the long tail. When it was taught to me it was called the Old Norwegian cast on.
😊
I use this cast on for all my knitting, unless another cast on is specified. It is a bit stretchier than the long-tail cast on and great for cuff-down socks. It is also called the Old Norwegian cast on.
Great video thank you
I will have to try and master this cast on. I am like a Carlos trying to learn it….
But I use many more colorful words😁
Looks pretty clear. Thx for slowing it down a bit, Arne. Going to try it on my next pair of socks and see how it compares.
You are welcome!
Arne & Carlos, you mentioned during your German Twisted Cast On Tutorial, that you felt that your delivery was a bit chaotic. It was the best tutorial you have ever done! You don’t need the ‘Slow Wheel’ on TH-cam for this tutorial. Arne, you were slow enough with the demonstration, used thick colorful yarn, and the camera angle was perfect. (Thank you Eric!) BUT! When Carlos tried to recreate the cast on, your language prompting him was JUST what someone who is learning this ‘Cast On’ technique would need to hear. AND the camera angle, again, was perfect. I will use this tutorial when ever a German Twisted Cast On is called for! Well done and thank you! 🥰
That is great to hear!
okay, just started to watch your channel and you two make me laugh. LOL
Thank you for subscribing Bertha!
Ok guys I got it …. It’s fun to learn new techniques…..
Thank you enjoy your day… see you on Wednesday….
From Ann Budd’s sock book, I learned the Old Norwegian cast on. Somebody told me it was the German twist. It’s similar to what you’re showing, but not the same. The one I do is sturdy and very stretchy. I use it for socks, hats, and gloves/mittens/mitts.
I see snow. Thanks for the tip.
You are welcome
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 I don’t think I like that one! Love you guys. Thank you for something new!
I use this cast on especially when I knit socks top down. It's stretchier than long tail. It's my favourite cast on. I've only known it called German cast on, not twisted german cast on
Thank you for all the tutorial videos you've been doing - I've learned a heap from them, and having an autoimmune condition that makes me a lot more prone to tendinitis learning to knit in the Norwegian way has meant that I could knit without injuring myself. I've been having a lot of fun, and I love the way in which you present your videos. :D
I'd love to see you do a series on cast offs. They're currently the main thing I'm struggling with (the edge ends up too tight), so I'd love to see some techniques done in the Norwegian style that can help keep the same/similar level of stretch in the edge as was in the rest of the knitted fabric.
We sre so glad to hear that! Se have this tutorial on the basics of knitting: th-cam.com/video/U8CEU-VRXJo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aRfnW74dPKP2Q53g. If your cast off is too tight, try to cast off with bigger needles
