German Twisted Cast On Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This tutorial shows how to work the German Twisted Cast On. The German Twisted Cast On creates a neat, flexible edge perfect for whenever you want plenty of stretch in your knitting. It is similar to the long-tail cast-on, but it includes an extra twist that gives it greater elasticity. I love it for sweater necklines, and it is perfect for other areas where you want a lot of give - such as the beginning of socks, mittens, or bottom-up sweaters. The German Twisted Cast On is also called the Old Norwegian Cast On

For me as well, the best demonstration I've found on UA-cam where I could see every nuance of the method.
Thank you!… this is the best and cleanest explanation of this technique that I have ever seen!
That is a wonderful compliment! Thank you!
This is the best demo I’ve ever seen. Thank you‼️‼️
Very clear instructions. Thank you so much for making this.
Your tutorial is excellent! I struggled until I saw your suggestion about bending your left thumb. So easy and fun!
Thank you so much for this detailed, slow-enough demo! Incredibly helpful! Trying it out now!
This is the best tutorial I have seen for the German Cast On. I was having trouble with that 4th step. Thank you so much Jessica
COOL!!! I Like How You Show This!! Some People Are Way To Fast!! I Usually Do A Long Tail Cast On.... When Casting On ,.. But This Tutorial Is Much Better... I Thank You ... Just Beautiful Indeed.... Thumbs Up 👍 Best One Ever... Happy Knitting..☺️👍💜💞❤️👏😊
I've been stalling on casting on for a little summer top because it called for this technique and I hadn't figured it out. After watching your instructions, I'm on my way. Thanks!!
Hurray! I'm so glad you are on your way with your summer top project!
Love that you explain it slowly and clearly several times over while showing the hand movements. I have tried to follow video before of this method but have never been able to get it right due to not being able to see the last step of bringing needle back between. Thank you so much. I came across your videos because I just downloaded the Blizzard sweater.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. You show very clearly what needs to be done, so I'm really looking forward to try it myself and cast on blizzard. It will be my first sweater ever and I'm very excited, but I have to try and get gauge first. 😉
You are awesome! You have helped me more in one time through your video that repeated times through others. You made it so easy!😅😊🎉❤
Thank you! I watched a few other videos of this technique, but this was the only one I could follow. Voila! Success!
Perfectly filmed thank you! I didn't even need it for my current project, but was completely mesmerized by your technique and vid 😁
Thank you!
Thank you, Jessica. I’ve tried learning this with several videos, and yours was the only one that made sense to me. 💖🙂
The best demo, thank you!
Jessica thankyou for the tutorial I can do it took me a while but I was determined as I want to do the stretchy cast on for my jumper and it works loving my yoke sweater only just started but I’m loving everything about it x
this is the best example out there!
Thankyou so much! This video was done perfectly. I just got your Lumi pattern and will use this for that.
Thank you for this perfectly explained tutorial. I am left handed but knit right handed English, so I always feel a bit displaced when I attempt these things. There is going to be a new baby in the family and baby/children necklines always make me smile, my son was squeeeeezed into some really rather tight neck openings oh so many moons ago. I am not really looking forward to using this....but I most certainly will. Thanks.
Babies have such large heads and necklines don't always have enough stretch! It sounds like the new baby is going to get lots of wonderful sweaters.
Thank you for showing me the German Cast On, its not too hard if you persevere and I did.
Nice! Very clear instruction ❤️
Thank you!
My very favorite cast on
In German it's called DOPPELTER KREUZANSCHLAG. There is also the EINFACHER KREUZANSCHLAG it's not to be confused with, as it's not as stretchy.
We also have several traditional techniques for ending our knitting, depending on usage.
So clear. Thank you.
Thank you! Casting on blizzard!
I love your explanations! Would you please post how to do this as a cast off? (ie: for a headband). THANK YOU!
Great instructions very cler. What yarn are you using?
I can’t wait to knit Blizzard
It will be here before you know it!
I really like this cast on but how do you work the back? Thank you
Thanks for this - it;s really clear. I have noticed, however, that the stitches are mounted backwards after this cast on (or how I do it?). Is it then just a matter of choice whether one knits the first row/round with twisted stitches or not? Thanks!
Or is that the point of this cast on? Just suddenly thought I might be missing the essential point (haha). Anyway, I really appreciate the elbow metric - it works really well.
I’ve never done the German long tail cast on. Is is stretchier than the regular long tail cast on? Great teaching!
It is much stretchier than the regular long tail cast on.
@@JessicaMcDonaldKnits thank you! I think I’ve got it now!
Would this be a good cast on for top down socks?
Yes! It would be perfect for top down socks. I also really like it for mitten cuffs.
vielen dank
You’re welcome!
I am watching this in 2024, a few days away from 2025. A question, are your books available in Europe too?
