When you begin to knit you’ll need to learn to put your initial stitches on your needles. In knitting, this is called “casting on” stitches. When reading a pattern, the abbreviations CO, co, or c/o are used to mean cast on.

German Twisted Cast On

This cast on provides the perfect balance between stretch and structure. It is similar to the Long Tail Cast On but each stitch gets an extra twist, giving it that touch of added stretch that makes it so wonderful.

I have also heard this cast on referred to as the Old Norwegian Cast On.
