Wow thats the easiest way I’ve seen to do that cast on. You guys have all kinds of tricks and good ideas.
Very helpful. Thanks! Almost 70K subscribers! WooHoo! You are the best.
Thank you Terry!
It’s always a pleasure to watch you knit and chat, thank you for teaching!
I remember watching a video tutorial for this kind of cast on by a wonderful Austrian lady years back, which then helped me immensely. What a wonderful international knitting world this is.
Have a great week!
Thank you for watching and have a wonderful week!
Brilliant tutorial! Tusen takk! And I love Arne’s jumper!
You two give the best tutorials.
❤️
Just brilliant. This might become my go to sock method. Thank you 😊
Arne and Carlos I just remember it is Norway’s National Day today congratulations 🇳🇴🇳🇴
Thank you!
Invaluable information. Thank you. A&C make the best, very professional tutorials (a nod to the camera man!). I always come here first.
Carolan Weibel glad you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for the lovely feedback, we will make sure to let Erik, our camera know that you enjoy his work!
I enjoy seeing you two every Sunday. Thanks for your constant inspiration and uniquely personal videos.
Deborah Murfin thanks for watching!
Oh Arne we have a surprise to look forward to! You might want to let Carlos know :-).
You guys are the best!
Watching Arne cast on was absolutely mesmerizing. Great tutorial!
Thank you for watching!
I know! I was thinking I could meditate to it!!!
That is the clearest explanation I have ever seen. Thanks so much!
Lisa Bryce thanks for your comment.
You make it look so easy. Thanks so much. Will definitely use this. ❤
See? Arne can move slowly. Love you guys.
Mandi e thanks for your comment, we aim to please.
Wow! Great technique.
Thank you!
Wow! Excellent tutorial for a pretty efficient looking cast on. Thanks for slowing down Arne!
Gladys Love you are very welcome!
The way this video was shot- with a great close-up view, and with Arne going slow-- was so easy to learn from! Thank you!
Great tutorial. Have not tried the toe up yet. After I finish the socks I’m knitting for a friend, I will. I have saved this tutorial so I can practice. Carlos, you seem so surprised with Anne’s results, haha. Enjoy my Sundays with you three. Thank you.🧶🧶🇨🇦
Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial, thank you both!
Good week!
Thank you for watching and we are glad you liked it!
Good Sunday Arne&Carlos! I started my first doll yesterday, I'm up to her ankle now.
Will start her second leg with your closed toe cast on. Thanks and hugs to Freja!
Good luck with your doll and thank you for watching!
Hello
Love your tutorials. I like you to mention Freya too. She sure looks determined to stay put!!
Thank you for watching!
You always amaze me with all of your knowledge! You two are just so sweet!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you, my friend uses this cast on when she does socks and she's tried to show me but you made it clearer for me. It's Mother's Day here in Canada and you two are such a lovely way for me to spend part of it ! Have a wonderful week !
Glad we could help you! Good luck with the cast on and enjoy mothers day!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I think this time the camera work was the best ever as sometimes the techniques are not so easily seen. Thank you for showing this technique more slowly and with the bigger needles. Much appreciated. Kind regards from Australia
We will let our DPO know!
Thank you Arne and Carlos. I enjoyed the tutorial for closed toe cast on. I have come a long way since the end of last year when I two mini stroke and I am learning to concentrate on my knitting. My crocheting is growing by leaps and bounds and my sewing is being picked up. With your sock tutorials I know I will be able to do it. Thank you so much.
Wonderful explanation! Love those PRYM needles. Love you guys,too!
Thank you!
The magic is how Arne handles the five needles on this tiny circumference with such ease! 😊 You’ve inspired me to try it myself! Thank you for the great video.
You are welcome and have fun!
I've been knitting since age 6 (71 now). Love Arne & Carlos. I determine how much yarn I need by wrapping 10 times loosely around the needle then multiply by number of stitches needed. Then I add about 6 extra inches. Works pretty well.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this easy to follow along tutorial...the technique you have shared is so simple that I wanna do a happy dance, I have been struggling trying to find an answer to the first needle having twisted stitches, and this has solved my condumdrum...thank you. Best to you, be well.
We are super happy that you feel this way, happy knitting!
Thanks again for a great tutorial. Keep on putting toe ups off because the heel makes me panic.
Anrne I still have knitting continental style knitting envy, maybe if I practice one hour a day I might master it when I am 70, that gives me two years?
I so like the fact that you don't hold your finger in the air and I can do it your way very slowly.
So glad you also match the yarn of the two socks, my daughter thinks I am strange, love matching socks.
Look forward to next week.
Anita Swart thanks for your comment.we always match our socks!
Anita Swart you can do it! Just relax and go slowly and get a “rhythm” going. Your hands will get used to the movements. I don’t hold my finger in the air either, I there is a simple way to minimize hand movements, with the right needle “scooping” the yarn and bringing it through the loop.
@@Carol-Bell
Thank you so much, it is just that I have been knitting the English way for 64 years and it is automatic.
But I try and teach myself something new each year.
Perhaps just knit dish cloths and not worry about my uneven tension.
What is your favourite knitting?
Thanks again
Anita Swart yes I encourage you to do that, just try continental and go slowly and rhythmically, and yes do washcloths. The tension will even itself out pretty soon, if you practice every day.
My grandmother taught me knitting when I was a little girl but I did nothing with it until about 8 years ago when I was 60, after seeing my students wearing cute hats. I love hats but have a small head so decided to learn to make hats. But my dream is to make myself a sweater, so I have started making baby sweaters for friends, for practice. Now I’ve pretty much fallen in love with it. Last night I casted on for my 4th baby sweater. I just now discovered Arne & Carlos in my search for more on socks (another goal, to learn to make good socks for myself). I like how scientific they are about knitting😊 What do you like to knit?
Happy Sunday as your both rays of sunshine that brightens up many lives. Love your sweater Arne. Found today's episode so interesting. I don't like the kitchener stitch and this is a fantastic substitute. Freja didn't sound to happy 😊 it was lovely seeing all three of you today. Have a great week look after yourselves see you next Sunday with much love xx
Christine Linn thanks for your comment. We wish you a great week ahead to you too!
Oh yessss! I vote we name it "Judy's " magic cast on!!! Had to wait two days to see this,so glad there is a new toe cast on. Trying this on my spiral socks on my weekend off, such a great video you two.
Thank you! Glad you saw it in the end
Great information and easy to understand!!
Always enjoyable!!!
You are welcome Sara! Thank you for watching.
I have knitted two potholders...total...and saw your easy sock pattern...I'm half way through my first pair of socks!!!! As a crocheter, I really like the continental style and your purl stitch is very comfortable for me....Thank you for a wonderful pattern and easy to follow videos....
Anita Timothy thanks for your comment. We are happy to know that you enjoy the Norwegian way of purling!
Thank you, thank you. I have been trying to get tjis technic to work for years. For the first time i think i wont put it on the try again list.
Good luck!
Enjoying you and all:)
I just noticed that Arne and I sit the same when knitting! Cute!
That is funny!
Hi A&C this is an awesome tutorial. I have always wanted to learn this but haven’t set time for it. I knit from top down socks. Arne you are a very good teacher it is so clear when you show how to knit. Thank you and Freja is really so funny. Love you 🥰
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! So neat and tidy and you make it look so easy 😊🌿
Chris B It’s actually quite easy. Try it!
"pointy finger" absolutely love these guys!!
💖
Thank you so much for this tutorial! This just changed my world with socks, mittens, bird tails, beanies, etc.... Huge Tusen Tak! ❤️ Best Sunday Funday Mum's Day gift!
Ha Ha when Freja was growling, we thought it was a big jet coming over our house. Sounded just like it! 🤣 Love you Freja!! 🐶
Thank you for watching and we are glad you liked it!
@@ARNECARLOS I'm working on the spiral sock (with my Prym needles that I love) but I had already got the toe done before this video, but I'm going to definitely use this technique on the next. Woo Hoo! Thank you thank you thank you!
Good luck with your socks!
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you. So far, so good. This is a really fun pattern. They're going to be SO cozy! 😍
That is fantastic!
Thank you for watching!
I plan to practice, practice, practice this technique! Thank you for sharing. ~StitchedbyMimi
Practice makes perfect, just keep on!
Perfect timing. I am ready to start another pair of socks.
Good luck with your sock knitting!
And 24 more to go.
Thank you, thank you, thank you both! I have always wanted to try toe up socks. I love you guys! Next project is spiral socks....excited about it.
Good luck with knitting your spiral socks Betty! What colours do you think you will use?
I like the seam it gives but that definitely looks like it'd take a lot of practice to get the tension correct for me anyways. Thank you guys again for another wonderful tutorial, maybe I'll try this cast one with the sock yarn I'm getting from you guys!
It's not difficult, you should definitely give it a try when you get your yarn!
Great, clear, video.
Glad to be of help.
Hi...you have demonstrated the Magic cast on......the Turkish cast on is quite different. Thank you!
I find this cast on very useful, many things can be started this way. I feels like magic the first time. Thank you for your many videos.❤️👍😘
Julie Meanor thanks for your comments!
I am a avid sock knitter and I came up with my version of closed toe cast on, and it was a tiny bit awkward! This method is pure magic! I will be using this from now on! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching Suzan
Arne you made the cast on look so easy...might try it. Have a great evening.
Yes, please try it!
There are so many ways to do it right :-) When I first read about socks started at the toe, it was in a Dutch book on handcrafts from Yugoslavia (the country not existing anymore now). Probably late 1970s. This sock was started with a very small square (6-8 stitches) in rows knit and purl, and then putting the stitches of the four sides on four needles. And then a beautiful sock was knitted in 2 colours with traditional patterns ( I still have to search, if now they are Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, or what)
Thank you Inge, it is always interesting to read your comments.
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you
I have tried this many times but always have a huge gap when finished. Arne makes it look so effortless.than you gentlemen for another great lesson.😸🙌🙋
Thank you Kitty Kat for watching!
I'm not really that interested in knitting socks, but I always enjoy your videos, regardless of the subject matter. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you for your comment!
I got an AHA moment and I loved it. Thank you guys!
Thank you for watching!
Turkish cast on is where you wrap the yarn around both needles for each cast-on stitch. This is a "figure eight" cast on because the yarn goes in between the needles and crosses over in the center like a number "8".
Thank you Arne and Carlos for all your tutorials; will you also teach us your cast off/bind off technique? I can’t get it to be stretchy enough.
Bing C yesca sure. We can do a video on that Sometime in the future.
I'm going to try this for my next pair of socks. I don't like sewing up holes!
Good luck!
@@ARNECARLOS Update! I have completed one sock using this cast on, and am working on the second one. I really like this cast on.
Great way to cast on. I learned from Judy but we used circs where we can slide the 2nd ndl to its cable. More room to knit. I think I would still co on circs, and move to doubles if I wanted to use them. Great video!
Thank you Naomi!
I like that you are wearing matching colors. I have done this cast on, had I not I would not have a clue what you did, I think you went too quickly because as I remember it was a lot easier for me to do than to follow your instruct. But normally you guys are the best teachers out there, and very enjoyable.
Hi Barbara, thank you for your comment! If it is too fast it is always possible to use the slow motion function.
@@ARNECARLOS thnx i think i just needed more words for the winding back and forth start but that is a v good reminder, i do run things slow and fast when I remember ... ur gr8.
Ok... Got the advent sock wool on order..and now I have a better idea how to do this mystical cast on! 😂😂😂
❤️❤️
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen!!
MissyMagoo87 glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect timing. I was just getting ready to cast-on your Spiral Sock and use Judy’s Magic Cast On and Lifted Increases, Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Annie, you knit like watching knitting on helicopter blades. Wonderful technique. I was just using the Judy's Magic Cast-on today. Always good to know more than one way to get things done. I actually don't mind Kitchner stitch. I did a series of Christmas hats and it was done on the bias and had a long kitchner seam. Now I can do Kitchner in my sleep, I think.
It is always useful to know more than one method!
Cool way to do a toe.😊
Thank you!
This is the video I wanted to see. I've been casting on for a closed toe to circular needles and every time I tried that technique on DPs, it failed. This will work and it's less fussy than the other technique.
Thank you so much! I have been struggling with this and you made it so clear and simple. Very grateful for your attention to the little things...
You are welcome!
Never understood that method before but now I do! Gonna use it. Thanks again. Lol ....Freya growling at camera person when they get to close...my yorkie Archie does the same when some gets too close to me. 😊
😀
Scrolling along.... Oh! The sock yarn guys!
10:27 I just now noticed the dog.😁
😀
Super easy to follow instructions. Thank you!! I’m a top down sock knitter who finally decided to try toe up. It wasn’t going well at all. I found this video after my third failed attempt at a bad cast on method. I started with this cast on instead. I’m off to a good start.
You are welcome!
Thank you for another great video!! I've picked up knitting only a couple of months ago, and the both of you have been so helpful!
Wow, we are glad you find our tutorials helpful. What is your current project?
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you for responding! I've been practising a couple of scarves with my dad's needles, but just this weekend I bought a pair of circular needles and plan on venturing into the world of hats. I've just started, but I'm enjoying it a lot!
I've been making socks like this for years! NIce job!
This is a great way of knitting socks!
Very nice tutorial, thank you both.
Thank you for watching!
I have to try that cast on. Wonky but I like it. As always I learned something new. Loved listening to Freja growl. I don't like to waste yarn so when using long tail cast on, I cast on ten stitches drop them measure the length of yarn used then times the number of stitches needed add another 12 inches and it always works out. 🏵
Janika Bertone thanks for the info!
You fellas are so amazing! I have Faith that i will one day make a beautiful pair of socks thanks to you!
Yes! Practice makes perfect
Thank you! Y’all have been a game-changer for me with knitting! I’m so grateful!
Thank you!
All your specialized sock videos are fun, enlightening and add to my “toolbox”. Thanks once again!
You are very welcome!
Thankyou I have enjoyed this tutorial. I’m only just exploring knitting socks so I’m thinking the closed toe will be how I will start. I have subscribed as I so enjoyed your chat
Thank you for subscribing Maggie!
Loved this tutorial and thank you for using the larger needles and thicker yarn so that you can see the process. I wish you had then shown what it looks like using the actual thinner sock yarn and needles, that’s when it gets more frustrating for me, because the stitches are so much smaller and I have more problems with keeping my stitches nice and even. Love you two and all the beautiful projects and techniques you share!
Hi Evelyn, thank you for your feedback. The method will be the same, just continue working on your tension❤️
Great tutorial, thank you both!
Thank you Grazyna!
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Big thanks..love your vids..xx
You are welcome!
Wow something else to learn Tusen takk to you both 🇳🇴🇺🇸😍
Vær så god!
ARNE & CARLOS 🧶🧶🧶Elske Deg💖
This is so clear thank you
You are welcome!
🌺🌸💐💐🌷🌸beautiful
Thank you!
Love the magic but so enjoy all
Susan Roche glad you enjoyed it!
Gracias por compartir. Feliz Navidad y feliz año nuevo. Desde México.
Thank you so much Arne! That was a good pace and easy to learn from you. I’ve tried cuff down socks only so far and really want to give this method a go. Although I need to finish the 2nd 1/2 of the 2nd sock so my husband can wear before I do. Is hard sometimes when you want to try a new method 😊
We are glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much for the magic . It was great idea to cast on .
Thank you for your comment!
Yay! Thank you for this video! I'm going to try the closed-toe cast on with my next pair of socks! Love you guys! Denise from Texas
You are welcome and good luck.
Adorei estás agulhas brancas um abraço
Tus manos son mágicas.. Te felicito de corazon😊
Thank you!
I must try a set of those needles!❤️
Do, they are becoming a favorite.
What are they called
Sock-it-to-you, Sock-it-to-you, Sock-it-to-you!💐
Funny!
Preciosos sus trabajos. Preciosos el paisaje y su casa. Por favor si pudieran explicar un sueter en español se lo agradecería mucho. Gracias desees España

Anne Brandly glad that Glad that you love them. So do we!
Супер са мъжете!
Cool 🌞🌞
Thank you for watching!
I do the same cast on, but at the beginning I only use 3 needkes (2 Needels where the loops on an 1 for knitting). The first rows are tricky, but but i don't like zu fight with to many needls.
Thank you for sharing!
