Holy cow. I was about to cry, I could not figure this out even after four different tutorials, but yours was the first one that said to twist your thumb down at the end and that helps so much! Thank you!!

OMG Thank you so so very much! I've watched numerous videos that demo this technique, but this is the only one that made sense. Now I can start working on that sweater.

Thank you for this video!! I have watched over 10 and couldn’t get it, your technique of pulling it down more worked for me because I could not see that little window hole! I appreciate this tutorial! ❤

This is a very good tutorial. I have watched other tutorials for the German Twisted Cast On and they were very confusing. You had a good camera angle and you moved slow enough that I was able to follow along until I could pick up the rhythm of the cast on. Thank you for sharing.

About to expand my horizons and start my first ever top down sock, have been a dedicated toe up knitter. The pattern calls for a German Twisted Cast on. Thanks for a great tutorial.

Your tutorial saved my day! I understand you and I learned the Kitchener stitch and finished a sock! Yippee! Now I will try a toe up sock. What is your favorite sock to knit? I’ve never kniTted anything but the gusset type top down sock.

As much as I replay your tutorial, over and over, the thumb motion is a mystery. The rest of it I loved. Thank you
@dontjudgemycuriosity27 күн бұрын
Use your thumb to untwist the yarn loop it's holding. In other words, don't focus on the thumb motion, focus on what the thumb is doing to the yarn during that motion. Not sure if that helps but it's how I think of the thumb motion to wrap my brain around it! :)

This is a gorgeous cast on for the cuff of a top-down sock. I was shown how to do this in pattern so that I can get the nice twisted stretch over my knits and over my purls when I do 2x2 ribbing.

I only have done 3 rows so far. I love the way it looks. Do you just do this in socks or can you do this cast on for any thing.
@elizabethpetersen8527 Жыл бұрын
Watching this was very interesting to me. I knit right-handed, but I've been casting on left-handed (I am left-handed...). No wonder I've generally not been satisfied with my cast-on row! I will try and do this cast-on as shown; should be a good brain exercise, at least! :-D

Thank you, Kay! I was looking at so many videos earlier this year for the German Twisted Cast On for your Round and Round Cowl. I found one out of many that actually got. I was excited to see your version, which is great! I better get back to the cowl :) Thank you for the tutorial :)

Thank you, Kay. I know I'll have to return and practice this cast on, at least a few times before I get it down. But, I know it'll be worth it. Now, I just have to figure out the proper number to cast on for my often swollen legs. Any suggestions for working a slouchier type cuff? 💜✌️🧶
