Great demonstration, makes sense and easy to understand when comparing to ordinary long tail cast on. thank you!
You are so welcome, Nonoame, I'm glad it was helpful! 😊
Another wonderful and well-explained video. You are my first go-to person for learning a new technique! Many Thanks
Thank you, Harriet, I love being the "go-to-person"! ❤️
I watched probably 10 videos on this cast-on and couldn't get it until I watched this one. Thank you!!!
You are welcome.
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.
You are very welcome Trudy Schwartz-Burrill! Happy knitting.
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!
Wonderful!
Thanks so much for the tutorial AND for telling me about the speed of playback. Never knew that was available
Thanks, I don't know why I haven't thought of mentioning the time thing before. Happy Knitting. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already and spread my videos far and wide.
You do such an amazing job of teaching - all the details and explanations! I can't thank you enough,
Thanks for knitting this slowly🥰
You're very welcome, Badgman50! 😊
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.
That's wonderful, Amanda! Sometimes it's the little tweaks that make the big differences. 😉
Excellent, Excellent demonstration. I have seen no other this easy to understand what is happening. Thank you!
Great explanation and demonstration, , and 2 colors provides great visual. Thanks!
Thank you. It does help to see what is happening with the two colors. I am all about engineering with yarn, so anything that helps to define what is happening helps me a lot. Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and spread my videos far and wide. Happy knitting.
I am a self-taught knitter. I have watched a lot of TH-cam 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!
Wow, thank you!
I really appreciate this thorough explanation. Thx so much.
😮 all this time with TH-cam in my life and you’re the first person to tell me about playback speeds 🤦🏽♀️. Thank you and I appreciate all you do
You are very welcome Rebekah Matthews. Thank you and Happy knitting.
FINALLY a tutorial that is easy to watch and learn from. Thank-you so much.
You are very welcome, Maria, thanks for watching! 😊
Excellent demonstration. I watched a few videos before watching yours and yours was the best !
Glad it was helpful! Happy Holidays.
Best video for German Twisted cast on. This is how my mother taught me. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Holidays.
Thanks I was struggling with this cast on. This is the first-time I got it right.
Wonderful Anita Wessels! Happy Knitting.
Excellent tutorial! Many thanks for the trouble you take to make such great videos!
Thanks. I have another one in mind for you that I think you will like, maybe tomorrow or the next day.
Excellent, Suzanne, highly informative.
Thank you! Happy Knitting. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already and spread my videos far and wide.
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!
Thanks so much for sharing your sweet Mum story, and thanks for watching, Ria! ❤️
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
You are so welcome! 🧶
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I wasn't getting it all until I watched your video!
Glad it helped!
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 Joyce Ward! Happy knitting.
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.
Go for it!
Love the tutorial!!! You are AMAZING!! May your tribe increase!!!
You are so kind. I love this.
Your explanations are so thoughtful. No wonder your talent is so honored by 79 thousand+ Followers. Happy New Year, 2021
Thank you. Happy Holidays.
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
You're very welcome, Mae! Thanks so much for watching and for the great feedback!! 😊
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
Glad I could help! I have lots of videos to assist you, Harriet, I hope you subscribe!
I love this cast on. Thank you❤️🇨🇴
Me too!
Great instructions thank you I love the additional info and why
Glad it was helpful!
Agree with sue. Excellent demo
Thank you.
This was really, really informative and helpful. Thank you so much
You are so welcome, Bronwyn! ❤️
Having the yarn in 2 different colors was really helpful
Thank you Tracy Fornera! Happy knitting.

Thank you so much ❤
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 absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing!
I learn sooooooo much from you! Thank you
I'm so glad! Happy Holidays.
so well explained. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate you still embrace tradition and keeping your ethnicity alive. Thanks for you! God Bless!
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.
You are very welcome. I hope you have become a subscriber of my TH-cam channel and share my videos with your social media friends (and in person friends too). Happy knitting.
Thank you so much you are a genius this is the best video ❤
Very good...using this method more frequently
Thank you.
Thank you! ❤ Self taught knitter.

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.
It is just personal preference. Before you go further, you might want to make a little swatch and try the regular LTCO and the German Twisted CO and see which you prefer with your stitch pattern.
@@SuzanneBryan thank you, I’ve just been doing that. Great minds think alike. I love your straight forward tutorials, full of all the information required. :)
Thanks again ...🌹
And to you too.
Thank you 🌸
Thank you Dora Gibson! Happy knitting.

Thank you!
You're so welcome, Dee!
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!
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.
Usually, when using just one color, I don't use a slip knot at all. Here is a video showing that technque - th-cam.com/video/ek4FJ8xTWeQ/w-d-xo.html
For teaching purposes, I have used two colors of yarn for the cast on. That is why there is a knot. It is not a slip knot though, it is just a knot to connect the two colors of yarn into one strand.
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.
If you used this cast on for an in the round project, the right side of the cast on would be on the right side of the work, same as using a standard long tail cast on. I use it quite a bit for socks, starting ribbing, sweaters bottoms, cuffs, etc. Anywhere that you would use a standard long tail cast on you can also use this cast on. Thank you and happy knitting.
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan so you would purl the first row after the cast on row and then continue with knit rows ?
Thank you in advance
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?
Finally I understand!
Wonderful!
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
You can use this cast on for ribbing by mirroring what you are doing. For example if you have k2p2 ribbing, cast on 2 in the regular fashion, then cast on 2 purlwise, etc. You will have to examine what you are doing for the k cast on and how you are using the thumb strand. Then replicate that in a mirrored fashion on the finger strand for the purls. I do have videos on doing this for Long Tail Cast on, but not for this cast on.. Hope this helps. Happy knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan thank you it does help it is what Ive tried to do. Stitches seem properly oriented so maybe Ive got it. Perhaps you will demonstrate in some future vid. Learned the purl version of longtail from your vids, I was doing it wrong. I'm a sr citizdn so a little slow on the intake computerwise but will try to jojn in on your next ITAG. (Can spell, cannot type) Again, thank you
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.
This is a great comment. In German Twisted Cast On, both sides look very similar, unlike the standard long tail cast on which has two very different sids. So working in pattern is not as noticeable for the German Twisted CO. Try it on a swatch. You would just mirror the motions.
I'm knitting in the round and the CO stitch is twisted is this right? Do i pick up the back loop?
I found my problem. When picking up my thead I was going under instead of over. Thanks for a great video
Happy to hear that you've remedied your problem, Brenda! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Thank you for share your expertise! :)
You are very welcome Paty M.! Happy knitting.
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 ❤🌷🥰❤.
Yes, I will add that to my video todo list. Thank you for the suggestion.
I done the cast on so many times and I get 2 sts each time. I’m supposed to get 1 right?
Hi Anna. Are you referring to the first cast on stitch? Because yes, the first stitch is technically 2 stitches.
I have my first st which is the slip knot, then I start doing the twisted German co. When I get done with each one I have 2 extra instead of 1. Does that make sense?
Try it again. Slow the video down and work it with the video.
Hi Anna, I'm wondering if after you have picked up the finger yarn you may be going under the two strands of the thumb loop instead of through (between) the two strands. Hope this helps.
Love that you teach me about youTube as well as how to knit.
You are so welcome!
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!
Let me work on it. Adding to my todo list.
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?
Great question. If you are measuring for length of a fabric, yes, you will measure from the first white row. But if you are measuring the "piece" for length, you measure from the cast on edge. Happy knitting.
thanks!
salut
Thank you OlObuffalo! Happy knitting.
