Hey everyone! I recently tried this cast on out and I like it, almost more then the long tail, almost, haha. It's the German twist cast on. It is very similar to the long tail cast on and pretty easy to get the hang of. Hope you guys try this one out.
Thanks for coming back and watching!

Items Used:
Clover Bamboo straight needle size 9 (5.5mm)
Vanna's Choice Yarn in Barley


Instructions:
Pull a length of yarn, depending on how many you're casting on.
Create a slip knot.
In left hand, with short tail around thumb, long tail around index finger and remaining tails in palm of hand, pull down with needle to form a 'V' shape. Similar to the long tail cast on.

With needle, go under both yarns around thumb, swing back through thumb yarns, around index yarn, pull through loop, drop off thumb and tighten on needle.

Repeat till desired amount.
