Turkish cast-on knitted in Portuguese style for making toe-up socks

Step-by-step instructions on how to make the Turkish cast-on for making toe-up socks starting from the toes. The difference lies in the style, which in this case is the Portuguese style.

Este é o meu método preferido para montagem, ele é simples e fácil de executar além disso a meia fica totalmente sem costuras. Já fiz meias usando o método Magic cast-on da Judy Becker which can be found on their website, but Turkish cast-on I do it more naturally.

Step by step:

Place the needles parallel and start by making a slipknot on the needle that is positioned above
Then wrap the yarn around the two needles. The number of turns is the number of stitches each needle should have.
Then turn the needles vertically so that the tips are facing your right and the needle that was on top is on the bottom.
Now you can pull the needle that is below.
Move the yarn over the needle down so it is between the upper needle and the handle of the lower needle.
The yarn should be between the two needles.
Knit all stitches on the upper needle as normal. You don't need to overdo the tension.
It looks like this after making the stitches on one of the needles.
Turn the needles vertically again. In the same way it was done before.
And pull the needle from below.
That slipknot that was made at the beginning is now at the end of the upper needle. Pull it out of the needle and undo it.
Then bring the end of the yarn back and hold it with your left hand along with the needle.
Then just knit normally the stitches on this needle.
And that's it, we have a complete turn and it's closed and very beautiful.
Now just keep doing the increases until you get the width of the foot.
