German Twisted Cast-On
((Also known as Old Norwegian Cast-On))
Worked in a similar way as Long-Tail Cast-On, but trickier and using a longer tail. This inserts an extra twist into the thumb loop, and there is more drag and difficulty when snugging up each stitch.
Try to avoid over-tightening in your attempt at making this even. When done at a good tension, this can gave a nice springy edge. Some sock knitters love this CO.
This cast on method has a very elastic and neat edge. It makes a great cast on technique for socks.
