Join Without Twisting: a foolproof method

Avoid mishaps of twisting your stitches while joining for circular knitting.

This method is especially useful when there are lots and lots of stitches involved and/or using finer yarns where you can’t easily see or feel the stitches (e.g. laceweight yarn). It also helps to easily count groups of stitches for pattern multiples, and to confirm number of stitches cast on.
