This is so clear. Especially the last bit which i couldn’t follow on other tutorials. Many thanks.
Best video I’ve found on the Old Norwegian Cast On. It’s the one I always come back to as a refresher.
She makes it so clear and easy to understand explaining where the ball of yarn should be. Also this is the first video on this i was able to see and understand the very last step with bending the thumb and where to put the needle.
I totally forgot how to cast on. So thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. The pace is great (nice and slow!) and the camera focus is where it needs to be. I especially like the way you pause after each motion so that the viewer has a chance to process what they just saw.
I'm relatively new (again) to all this. Thank goodness we have UA-cam nowadays. If this is better for a softer, stretchier edge, I will definitely want to learn it. I'll be visiting this demonstration, often. Thanks for posting.
Yes. New knitters have it so much easier than I did back in the mid-1960’s when I was a new knitter. I learned by reading well written patterns & the instructions in the back of knitting magazines. So much easier to just use UA-cam b
Thank you for the tutorial!
Old Norwegian is a good all-purpose cast on. It is similar to Long Tail, but with the added benefit of being more stretchy. I like to use it for edges where a little more give is needed - sleeve cuffs and pullover edges, hats and mittens, even top-down socks (though there are more stretchy ones for that).
great job explaining!! i kept messing up..Your tutorial is so clear and easy to follow..thank you
Great tutorial! I love this cast on but need to remind myself how to do it every time.
Great tutorial and very clear explanation. I think the video was very good and I could see exactly the process for this cast on. Thanks!
Simplest explanation yet. I got it! Thank you.
Thanks for this. I love this cast on but I always forget how to do it. Your video was great and easy to follow.
Great explanation! You pause at exactly the right spots to let my brain catch up.
Looks to be the same as the twisted German cast on.
That’s because it is.
Looked at a lot of video and yours really clicked for me. Learned something new today. Tks for video
Perfect refresher. Thanks. My favorite cast on, but I can never quite remember how to do it!
This is the best of the videos explaining this that i have used! Thank you.
This is a fantastic tutorial. I appreciate you so much for this!
Clear, succinct videos are always appreciated. Thank you!
thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial ! now I've learnt a new stretchy cast on ! thank you !
Great tutorial. I watched several videos on this casting method and yours was gave the best, clear and complete instructions from beginning to end! Thank you!!
love this tutorial - simple & well demonstrated without extra fluff 💚😁
Thank you for such a clear explanation! I have to look this up anytime I haven't done it for a while, and this is by far the clearest and simplest one I've seen.I really like it, and used to use it for just about everything that didn't need a lot of stretch-I think I'll try that again!
What would you use for something that needed a lot of stretch?
Your tutorial made this so easy, thank you!!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I kept having problems with my sock cuffs being too tight because of my casting on, and this has been the perfect solution!
Thank you!
Thank you very much! I tried to learn this from a book first but you were so much more helpful!
So helpful and clear. Thank you
This is how my mom taught me ❤️
Thanks for this video. It was so well explained !
that's great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! And thank you for answering the question as to what this is good for, because I was going to ask, too. Very clear video. Thank you.
Terrific tutorial! Thank you so much
So simple, thanks!
hi! great video, very well explained, but can I ask what to do when the tail gets too short to work that method? i didn't realise itd shorten as it went on
Wow, thank you.
Very useful video. think I can do it now, finally!
Thank you! That was so helpful!
I never start a cast-on with a knot s i dont want a knot in my finished project. A twist will work just fine to begin and leaves no unnecessary bump or disfiguration.
It’s so fun once you know how! Thank you for your clear tutorial ! : - )
Thank you for the video!
Thank you!!! Is there a formula for how much of a long tail to leave yourself? I've just started this & didn't get very far before I realized I was out of tail thread. Is one inch per stitch about right? Or am I going to have to re-do for a cast on than the
Hi! I have two questions...How do you measure how much yarn you will need for the tail on your slip knot? Also what is a good way to weave in that tail once you are done casting on?
The easiest is to use the outside tail and the inside tail. Use both to make your slip knot. And start the cast on. This way you don’t have to measure and possibly start over. A designer showed me that trick. 😉
I always wrap the yarn around the needle the same # of times as the # of cast on stitches, and then I use the duplicate stitch to weave it in on the inside when finished. I've seen the method of using both ends of the yarn, and I think it's a good way, I just always forget and do it the other way.
@@bessli2845 Hi! I don't understand what you mean by the outside tail and the inside tail. Would you please explain that? Thank you!
Question…at the beginning of cast on when you did the first cast on I see 2 on the needle …is that consider 2 stitches then?
Can you show what this looks like vs any other cast on? What is the benefit? Is it stretchy? I want to try but need to know when it is best served. Thanks for posting
Excellent tutorial!! So clear and easy to follow! Thanks for making this video:)

OLD NORWEGIAN CAST ON INSTRUCTIONS - try it, it's easy, a nice cast on for socks, stretchy.
Thanks :-)
This looks a lot like the twisted german cast on
It is also called German Twisted Cast On.
This is how my German mother taught me to cast on, the only difference was that it was made over two needles (for the tension, I think)...
THANK YOU LV IT
How much yarn do you measure out for the thumb loop?
I use this all the time, I thought it was a German twisted cast on🤷🏾♀️
Seems like a somewhat awkward way of casting on, but the result looks exactly the same as the one I have always used, which I think is the same as my mom was taught by my grandmother (born in the 1880's) before she eventually taught my sisters and I, here in Norway... I might be wrong, but it seems like the same... Don't have time to find yarn/needles to check/compare right now, will try to remember to do so later though... :)
