Knitting Tutorial: Old Norwegian Cast On

For years, the long tail cast on has been my go-to method for casting on stitches, and then I met the old Norwegian cast on. It's a stretchier variation of the long tail method. It's a good all purpose cast on, but works especially well for sock, mitten and glove cuffs.

Recommended Pattern

As I said before, this cast on works great for sock cuffs and I used it for the "Azalea Socks" pattern that is now available in my shop.

Thank you to Skacel for providing the Zitron Trekking XXL Yarn shown in this tutorial.
