A step-by-step tutorial for the Turkish cast-on - the probably easiest way to start your toe-up socks without a visible transition - no grafting is required. Read the full tutorial here: nimble-needles.com/stitches/h...
My yarn: bit.ly/354ESkw
My needles: amzn.to/3TT7hRG
*Note: As an Amazon and Etsy I earn from qualifying purchases.
The Turkish cast-on is so simple it literally is nothing else but wrapping the yarn around two needles counter-clockwise and then knitting across. It works best with circular needles and the magic loop technique. The results will be the same compared to the Magic Cast-on once you've knitted across the first needle. So it boils down to preferences and your individual tension & style.

Not at all silly to record it. I appreciate it as I have never cast on like this and it helps me to understand how I need to do it. Thankyou.

@cbitkover 2 месяца назад

Like many others I am very greatful to you for recording this as I have struggled to remember Judys Magic Cast On. This creates the very same effect but oh so much easier. Thank you!❤

@uteweigand6703 14 дней назад

The best explanation on this method. THANK YOU:)

@alexandriasimms4842 Год назад

Norman, I honestly feel you are one of the greatest knitting teachers on RU-vid. Suzanne Bryan and Roxanne Richardson being the other two I heavily rely upon. Thank you so much for your easy to follow lessons and words of encouragement. I'm taking another's pludge into more complex techniques and really hope to improve. Thank you!

@theastewart6721 Год назад

I totally agree! These 3 are my favorites!! Their teaching is stellar!🤗🤗

@theastewart6721 Год назад

Hi Norman. Great video! This is a very cool technique! Thank you for your clear and concise instruction! Have a wonderful week!😊🤗

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

you too, Thea!

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

I feel honored that you mention me among such august names

@theastewart6721 Год назад

That’s very kind of you to say Norman. It is the absolute truth. I’ve been following and learning so much from Roxanne and Suzanne for so long and then you came along. You, like them, teach techniques in such an uncomplicated way. It truly is a gift. ❤️

@pennypark9070 21 день назад

Thank you so much Norman. That’s so useful. I’m hooked on your toe-up-sock tutorial. That is an epic RU-vid episode. I don’t think I’ll ever do cuff-down-socks again. 🧶🧶🧶

Just tried this method out last night. I love it! It's SO EASY! Thank you for teaching us how to do this. :)

@arkpark1899 8 месяцев назад

@ivancia110 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I was struggling for more than an hour with this cast on until I watched your video - and voila! Two minutes and done!

@evelynwald9132 Месяц назад

What I always love about your videos is how you explain the technique and compare it to other types of stitches, in this case to Judy’s magic cast on. You help us become better at “reading” our stitches. Thank you!

@megumim6795 Год назад

omg! it's much simpler than judy's magic cast on! And I also don't have to care about the length of tail! Great tip! Thank you!

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

yeah, that definitely is a bonus if you have to cast-on more stitches!!

@valeriebellecats8939 Год назад

Thank you. Your tutorials are always so clear and each step is so well explained. I love that you give the reason behind different steps and methods as well.

I'd like to try out this cast on when I work on toe up socks as a knitting project.😊

@flo9 Год назад

Nice, clear tutorial as always. I often watch your videos just to vaguely know what people are talking about so it doesn't become an awful hurdle later on. Having to look up yet another cast on method just so I can try a bottom-up sock can definitely feed my procrastination. Now, I already know how easy it is and where to find the explanation.

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

heh. yah, i sometimes do the same - my brain acts a bit like a magpie :P

@ireneserafino9733 9 месяцев назад

@EvieO1950 Год назад

You make that look so easy. Thanks!!

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

welll....it really IS easy. I personally belive it's the easiest cast-on of them all :)

@catnapper3923 Год назад

I love your tutorials. I can’t understand why I didn’t “like-and-comment” 8 months ago and I apologize. Thank you thank you.

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

very happy to hear that. That's what this second channel is all about.

I am all into an easy way to do something, thank you.

@spicychashu Месяц назад

I seriously went "huh????? what?????" when you just started knitting the loops, and was in awe when it turned into stitches like HUH

@nimbleneedlestwo Месяц назад

a stitch is actually just a loop. think about it for a second :)

@larachurchill 2 месяца назад

Fantastic explanation, thanks so much. Having never done this before I feel best equipped. Not a silly video at all, but highly informative. And you answered the only question I had- What is the difference between this and Judy’s magic cast on. Your work is so appreciated Norman!

@lukekopesz9635 Год назад

That is awesome! I'm going to use it for things I don't even need to 😃

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

haha...better start shopping yarn you don't need to begin with either *smirk*

@bgummeson Год назад

I love the Turkish cast-on. I also use it as a provisional cast-on for a garter tab cast-on. It’s so easy to pick up those last three stitches after picking up along the garter bumps.

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

yeah, it's great for that. I did mention it in my recent shawl video on my main youtube channel.

@bgummeson Год назад

@@nimbleneedlestwo I’ll have to rewatch that! I miss things if I’m knitting while watching!

@hollyo4140 Год назад

That's awesome Norman! Seems so much more straightforward than JMCO. I will try this next time for toe up socks. Thanks!

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

well...the result will be the same in the end. Guess it depends on preferences :)

@DGaryMoore Год назад

I love both Judy's magic cast on and the Turkish cast on. However, I use them for different things. It I need to use one of them for a provisional cast on, I prefer to use the Turkish Cast on, but for toe-up socks I prefer Judy's magic cast on (which gives me a little tighter result with my knitting style). Thanks for these tutorials, I find them really helpful.

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

yeah, both are great choices for provisional cast-ons!

@eleanorthompson7864 3 месяца назад

This is wonderful, thank you! I would like you to show this technique again but with maybe just 12 stitches in all and carry on with it to demonstrate how to knit the toe of a ‘toe-up’ sock please!? ❤

@nimbleneedlestwo 3 месяца назад

I do have a toe up sock tutorial on my main channel :) i don't have any intention to record another toe-up sock tutorial at the moment

@@nimbleneedlestwo oh great! i will subscribe and have a look for it, Thank you, Eleanor

@Coccinelf Год назад

I'm almost offended I've been doing the magic cast on for 10 years when this has existed all this time. Thanks!

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

;-)..well now you know both. celebrate the fact that you are now officially wise and old(er) :P haha

@3rdand105 Год назад

I've seen some very poor demonstrations of this, to the point where I decided to stop looking into the matter. As usual, you explain things well, and I finally learned how to do this, thanks to you.

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

ah....those mud-grey grainy tutorials from the dawn of the internet in 360px resolution. who doesn't love them :P

@leslieberkower8163 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much. I think I must have a learning disability because I spent over an hour trying Judy’s magic CO & just couldn’t get it right. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@jackielulu1676 3 месяца назад

Ha ha! No, you are perfectly normal! It took me at least an hour and several do-overs before I got it. Let's see how long it takes me to "get" this one. Tiny needles always make things harder.

@dankahorvathova8244 2 месяца назад

Me too😂😂😂😂

@user-jv3lg5fg9f 6 месяцев назад

With this cast on method, do you continue knitting by sliding the needles through the stitches like you show here for the entire project? Thanks in advance!

@nimbleneedlestwo 6 месяцев назад

yes, you continue with the magic loop technique.

@nicib3820 Год назад

Ich benutzte das für den Anfang Top- Down. Ich schlage so 64 Maschen an, stricke einmal drüber und ziehe dann die untere Nadel raus

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

jo, das geht definitiv auch. (edit)

@nicolelafontaine1720 Год назад

👍

@yunitamowry3983 Год назад

Norman, is this Turkish cast on only good for toe up socks? What about a pouch?

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

you can use it for any other circular project :)

@astrongmama Год назад

This does not require the step of untwisting the stitches on one side like the magic loop. Am I seeing that correctly?

@nimbleneedlestwo Год назад

no it doesn't. tho, if you watch my video on the Magic Cast-on, it's quite easy to do that without resulting with twisted stitches as well.

@marylonfisher1300 6 месяцев назад

I'm attempting to learn how to knit. This is the only cast on I've been successful with building stitches onto. Am I able to use this with only socks or is this a form of casting on I can use universally? I have no sufficent former knowledge of knitting prior to a week or two ago. Self taught crochet 2021. Thanks for any help.

@nimbleneedlestwo 6 месяцев назад

you can also use it as a provisional cast-on. Naturally, you could also use it to knit..i dunno...a hat top down or so.

@jackielulu1676 3 месяца назад

This is the best instruction for Turkish cast on! Somehow, I ended up with 2 stitches extra on one needle, but I can deal with that...... thanks!
