The Old Norwegian Cast On is similar to the common long-tail cast on method but involves a few extra steps. Those who are familiar with the German Twisted Cast On might recognize itas the same cast on method with a (literal) small twist. We recommend being intimately familiar with the longtail cast on before attempting this method. Making this cast on in an even gauge creates a stretchy edge that resists curling, which is great for knitting socks, hat brims, and other fitted knit items. However, this cast on method also uses more yarn, so make sure you have a very long tail before you begin! With this tutorial, you'll learn easily how to cast on for knitting with an insanely handy method.
