- This is my absolute favorite cast on! I use it for everything from hats to brioche :) It gives a nice flexible edge, and after you practice it a few times, it becomes just as rhythmic as your regular long tail cast on!
I finally got it with this video. Thank you. "Through the window." Genius.
When you say those words every time for each CO stitch...HELPS A GREAT DEAL! I then say tgem and can remember how to do tgis CO! Perfect! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!! It was the 3rd one I tried, but your tutorial actually clicked with me. I think it also helps how calm you sound... you are wonderful!! Thanks again!! ❤❤
I came to watch and learn (and practise) ready for the spring 2024 hat KAL. Thanks for this clear and helpful tutorial. I am now ready to go - or will be when my yarn arrives!
I watched MANY videos on this cast on and yours is the ONLY one that I got the first attempt. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I was so frustrated trying to learn this cast on until I found your video!! Oh I appreciate your help so very much!!
Thank you!!!! I watched so many other videos and I couldn’t get it until your explanation. I love your voice too - it kept me calm when I was frustrated!
!!!Got It!!! I've watched several videos and this one made the difference!!
I get it now! I had my aha moment when you said "bring it through this little window". ❤ Thank you!
Thank you! I watched a different video first where she untwisted the thumb before pulling through and I absolutely couldn't follow what she was doing. You explained this so well and I really appreciated the alternative method being shown too. Perfect tutorial!
Oh geez! I finally got it after watching five or six other tutorials! So clear and simple! Thanks!!!
This video was the best one I've seen on the cast on. Thank you!!!!!
my favorite tutorial for the twisted German cast-on - thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I watched other videos and just couldn't understand how to make this cast on work. Your explanation was clear and easy to follow. Thank you for making this available.
Thank you so much. You have the best GTCO video I’ve tried. Definitely my go to refresher. ❤
OH MY GOD FINALLY! I thought I would never get it! that window was driving me up the wall!! finally can start making my walking cowl! THANK YOU
Your.broke that technique down in easy do-able steps. Thank you. I will be trying that cast on in a future project. You are such a good teacher.
Thank you for your videos.
Another fantastic tutorial!! Thank you Andrea for being amazing. Finishing the pockets on the weekender crew. ❤️❤️❤️
Omfg!! The thumb trick is what I was missing. I had tried following other slow-motion tutorials and just couldn't get it, but the thumb trick works for me. Thank you!!
Same for me! Slow motion didn’t work for me. This method does for sure.
Oh wow, you explain this so simply! I got it first time with you, after watching other videos over and over and still not getting it. Thank you so much!
Thanks Andrea for such a clear demonstration.
WONDERFUL tutorial. Andrea is the reason I can knit. Thank you!!!
Honestly, the is the best cast-on ever. Thanks so much for this great tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was having such a hard time grasping this from other videos & watched yours & it CLICKED!! Thank you!! :)
the best demmo I have seen for this type of cast on . Thanks so much 🙏😁
This is the best of 5 or so vids. Thanks so much.
This video is by far the clearest explanation I can find - and the thumb trick makes it doable for me. So very happy I saved this video last year because I needed it again
I haven't used this cast-on in a number of years, but when I was teaching, I would push my students to learn to find that tiny opening at the end, then drop everything, snug it up and repeat. But you opened up the possibility here that there's no shame in opening up the thumb so you can see that space better. And I found that if I open up that thumb, creating a bit more space, then continue with a smooth movement dropping everything and resetting your hands and yarn for the next cast-on stitch . . . well, this is such an elegant move. Thank you. And I have a feeling that, at age 66, it's easier for me to see where to move my needle. I found this video via the link in your new Traveler hat. Jared at Brooklyn Tweed emailed the announcement this morning.
I’m so happy you found it helpful! Thank you!
Oh my, I just tried this method and it looks so nice. Did just a practice and it is easier than I thought. Might be your video, you are a great teacher. Getting ready to try your Nightshift hat. Thank you.
Thanks Andrea! Yours is the clearest tutorial that I have seen. It seems like your last step simplifies what some do as two steps by going through the little window.😉💕
Thanks! Yours was the video that finally made this work for me!
Yay! I've been knitting for 65 years, Andrea, and this just about made my heart pop! So happy to have learned it ~ Thank you, thank you!
So happy it was helpful!!
Haha. I mastered the Italian cast off and thought this would be too hard to ever get. Got it...thank you!
❤ this simple to follow video! Thank you!
Just found this tutorial on the Twisted German cast-on. Extremely helpful!! Thank you.
This was the 3rd video I watched and THIS was the one that clicked! Thank you so much!
This is the third or fourth video I watched on how to do the German cast-on and I FINALLY got it! Thank you for the clear and simple instructions!
Same here❤❤
Same!
Thank you. Once I loosened up I could see the triangle easily. I am a tight knitter and couldn’t see it at first!❤
I also found that after my second dip into the left thumb, that if I pulled down a bit, it opened up the triangle before I went to the right thumb yarn.
Thanks for such a useful demonstration. I found the repetition, clear instructions, different ways to do a German cast on were all I needed. ❤
Thank you!!!! After watching numerous videos - yours finally made sense to me! Love this cast on method!!!! ❤️
Thank you! You made it so easy to follow, I have watch more videos and sadly none of them could make me grasp, what I was supposed to do. 😅
So THANK you! ❤
You’re such a good teacher. I watched some other videos and could not figure out how German Twisted was different than Long Tail. Lol
Only video of TG CO where you can really see everything that's happening 👏
Easy to follow along tutorial. Your video directions are just as clear as your written patterns.
That's my go-to. I use it for most everything - other than hat brims - where I use italian Cast-On because I love that roll-over look
Many thanks. Finally got the technique. Thanks for simplifying the method.
I have to agree with you, this is way much more fun than any other cast on I know!!
Thanks for this video. You are such an amazing teacher 👍 I’ve just cast on the first pocket (=swatch) for the Weekender Crew ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful video.. I have watched several videos and your is the BEST!🙂
Thank you so much, your tutorial is sooo clear! From France with love (and sparking eyes)
Great video. This is the third time I tried this but it was my first successful attempt. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and your easy to follow instructions. Hooray I got it ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I watched several others and this is the first one that really did it for me. I love your explanations as you make careful slow movements. I got it! Yay!
oh my gosh after watching like 10 videos on this subject i finally got the hang of it ! thank you so much !
I absolutely love this version of the twisted German cast on!!!! Thank you so much for the amazing tutorials!!!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you! This is the best tutorial I have found for this cast on!❤️❤️❤️
Wow! So much better tutorial than Very Pink Knits. Thank you!
Thank you so much....I’ve been working on this for a few days now and your instructions finally made sense and I GOT IT!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your easy to follow instruction.
Thanks, Andrea for a new way to cast on! Your instructions are very clear and I was easily able to learn a new technique!
Thank you so much for for your helpful tutorial. I have spent the morning looking at german twisted cast on tutorials until my mind was numb. Then I can to yours and bingo. Now I have the cast on down and am ready to start the Bybee scarf by Brooklyn Tweed which starts with a longtain and german twist cast on combo. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your video! Especially the thumb trick!
Thanks! I'll have to watch this a couple of times. I hate this cast on and have to re-learn it every time. I like that your video clearly explains it without a lot of expository chatter.
You made this so easy. Your video is fabulous. Thank you.
I used to do this style of cast all the time, and then put my knitting needles away for a few years and I couldn’t remember how to do this. This is the best video I found-clear directions and not a lot of needless chatter. Thank you!!
YASSSS thanks to you I picked this up in one watch! I love how you explained it, perfect instructions. Thank you!!
Thank you! So clear, slow, I could actually see and follow!
I watched another video demonstrating the German twisted CO and I was completely lost! Stumbled across this video and got the CO down immediately. This demonstration is so easy to follow. BTW, working on your weekender sweater, can't wait until it's finished!
This is my go to cast on as well and can move along quickly with the thumb twist trick! Thanks for the nice clear video!
As mentioned by a previous viewer, watching your video, wonderful slow pace, visuals and verbal instructions, FINALLY, I GOT IT! Well done and TY GREATLY!
Thank you for showing this without the weird thumb flick! That part was confusing me to no end.
Thank you for this - it was excellent! Going to be doing your lovely Traveler hat pattern!
You are so welcome!
Thank you! This is so very helpful! I love the long-tail cast on, and this is similar but a little stretchier. I think this will become my go-to cast on from now on!
Thank you! Your instructions are crystal clear. I did a few stitches to learn, then immediately cast-on for a wide-brim cap for the mister. 😊 This is my forever hat and sock cast-on now. Looks so neat. You rock, Andrea!
Thank you for the lovely clear tutorial! I'm trying to use new ways of casting on to improve my knitting, and had chosen this from a knitting book (where it was called the 'twisted double cast on') but just could not work out from the instructions in the book what to do after picking up the loop from my index finger, so was getting more loops round the needle every time! Following your instructions, I got it right first time.
Thank you for such a clear view!
Thank you! You made this easy to follow & create the stitch!! 💕
Andrea, thank you for doing a great video! This is a method I'll use from now on just because it makes such a pretty edge. Also, the way to measure the yarn you'll need is spot on! I always end up with the perfect length. Not too short that I have to restart, and not too long that I end up wasting any yarn. So thank you! 💕
Addendum: I just cast on 258 stitches for a sweater using the Twisted German Cast On method, and using your method for measuring the long tail. This measuring method is genius for the Twisted German Cast On! I had 6" left. It's truly genius!!!
Andrea, you demonstrated this perfectly for me. I think this cast on is so clean looking.
Appreciate all your contributions to the knitting community. Thanks!
Pamela Shoemaker I heartily agree
Omg I got it! Thank you for a great tutorial❤
Great lesson and very good background/timing/variations
Thank you for this clear video and also, for promoting so much different techniques in your patterns. It is one of my knitting goals to always keep learning and get out of my comfort zone regarding techniques, and you really encourage that!
Best video on this method!
great demo, easy to see and understand. love your patterns too!!
THANK YOU so much for this! I’m knitting my first cuff down socks. :-)
Thank you for this video! You are fantastic teacher!
You do great tutorials! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I got it 🤗So well explained Thank you
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just could not get it…. Finally!
This is wonderful. I’m wondering if there’s a matching bind off. That would be a fabulous pair. Thank you for sharing your lovely expertise.
Now it makes sense! That thumb twist!!
Thank you! It’s fun to try new cast ons & bind offs and know what they are good for.
Thank you! Love learning new cast-ons.
Great instructions 👍 Thank you!!
Fantastic lesson thanks denise appreciate it
Great, clear instructions! Thank you.
You are the best Andrea! I love the tubular cast on and your brioche hat instructional vid is Awesome! I am currently knitting the Nightshift shawl...so much fun to knit! Your designs really rock! 😊😊😊
Thank you Andrea for such a nice clear vidio😄
Finally! I git it. Thank you. XXX
This was SO helpful! I have watched many vids and could never see the last step. Your little “triangle window” worked perfectly!👏🎉
