Long Tail Cast-On

Long Tail Cast-On

view video

This cast-on is the favorite of many knitters. It creates a discreet edge that looks good with stockinette stitch and is stretchy enough to accommodate ribbing. It's easier to knit from than the simpler Backward Loop cast-on, and it's easy to execute once you get the hang of it. Recommended for beginners, or anyone.
