❤️ Beginners Guide To The Long Tail Cast On

[@carolbulmer8253]

Thank you so much! I like the English style of long tail the best!

[@kerrybiery6360]

That yarn really looks nice with your nail polish!!

[@Goolelala123]

You are Awesome I watched like 50 videos and finally you teach me 💕💕 you are the best teacher 💕💕

[@sabrinagammon5649]

Thank you ❤

[@carolinehansen7714]

This just changed my life for the better!! I am so happy to have this new skill!

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Good luck with the knitting!

[@elizabethtew3834]

Thank you for the second cast on as I am also a right hand knitter and I find this one so easy 😊

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Me too!

[@soniahenderson6416]

Love the 2nd method. Much much easier..thank you🤓

[@sharoncombs58]

Your video is an outstanding one for beginners! Thank you for posting!!!

[@joannemorris4451]

I've been struggling to learn "method 1". Then I see your "method 2"--it is the way my mother taught me many years ago! Much easier than the first one. Thanks!

[@liznicholls7781]

Thanks for sharing your cast on methods. Extremely clear instructions.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

liz Nicholls Many thanks!

[@libbyworkman3459]

I like you’re using the large yarn and large needle. They make it very easy to see and imitate exactly what you are doing.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Thank you, good to hear it’s helpful to you.

[@meganjenkins139]

Thank you. I have watched countless videos for casting on and I just could not get comfortable. I am a long-time crocheter trying to knit so my hands aren't wanting to move the way they should. Many videos people move way too fast because the motions are so fluid for them. Your method is taught at the perfect pace with very clear explanations. This will be the method I now use!

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@julietngq481]

I have learnt to do both methods and use them both to cast on stitches find this tutorial helpful especially for beginners

[@barbaragray1468]

Had a lesson on this i just couldn't understand how to do it, your no 2 method is really good you are an excellent teacher thankyou so much

[@marytramp5678]

Omg! the Continental way was so confusing when it came to using needles ( for some reason I can do it just fine when I'm arm knitting, just can't convert to needles..) but your preferred way was so easy to understand! was so simple and easy not any more difficult than knitting off of my thumb. And your voice is so soothing not grating like a lot of others that do tutorials!

[@amonaelder9178]

I can now do the long tail cast on. It has only tKen me sixty seven years. Thank you so very much.

[@marianneknapp4846]

You explain things Very well Thank you I've got it now I used mitted cast on but many pattern prefer this Happy Knitting 🌷💕

[@deblucero4685]

Thank you so much for this video. I have watched others and they go too fast for me. Your continental method is so easily explained and you go slow enough for even this old dog.

[@MiniDebz]

after, like, watching three other tutorials of this concept I finally get it with you. thanks, love!

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

MiniDebz That is quite a compliment ♥️ Thank you!

Thank you for posting this video. When I learned to knit the long tail was the first cast on I learned. (The slingshot continental method) I’ve always wanted to learn the other method & you made it very easy to learn. So thank you!🤗

[@annamariedaddarie472]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I’ve always been at a loss as to how to explain this cast on. Now I tell people to check out your video.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Anna Marie D'Addarie It’s so nice to hear that you are recommending my video on this cast on ♥️ Thank you ♥️

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Anna Marie D'Addarie I have a quick re cap version of this cast on video that may come in handy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_VZaOroLppaZo

[@gillianr2159]

Thanks so much for method two it is so much easier for me

[@patriciafiasconaro3089]

Thank you! I took a beginner’s knitting class this past weekend & after 2 hours not getting it (& wanting to rip my hair out) I wanted to give up. I watched your demonstration once & picked it up right away- yay, there’s hope for me yet🙂

[@dani19541]

thank you, the best tutorial on this topic.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

dani19541 Many thanks!

[@rachaelpeterson1767]

I like the 1st way with the left hand tension. My right hand is arthritic and hard to do the second one.

[@suemcarthur105]

thank you for your time, much appreciated

[@louisegray8294]

Thankyou your tutorial was simple for an absolute beginner

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Louise Gray So glad you found my tutorial helped you as a beginner. That’s really good to hear. Many thanks!

[@Mamado88]

Thankyou so much for being a great teacher! I watched so many videos on how to do it and was getting frustrated, first go watching you and I’ve cast on my first 152 stitches :D

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Amber Rose That’s fantastic, well done for persevering and a big thank you. Good luck with your project!

[@janehillsden9116]

Thank you so much for this-I was struggling to master method one which was on other videos so your video has been a godsend for me!

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

So glad to hear that my video has helped! I also have a handy minute guide on the Long Tail cast on for those wanting a quick recap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_VZaOroLppaZo

[@ali-404-unknown]

Can anyone tell me the link on how work with the long tail cast on and knit with it

[@ashleyfrances]

I finally managed to do this, video was easy to follow !

[@mallory1304]

The way your nails perfectly match the yarn though! So pretty! The tutorial is great, but the nails + yarn color match is just fantastic, I’ve never seen anyone do that in a knitting video before (whether it was intentional or not).♥️

[@christinahardgrove1938]

Your tutorial is amazing! Thank you sooo much! I am a lefty trying to teach a righty. This will help quite a bit!

[@rookiejamal9991]

Thank you so much for an amazing tutorial. I'm particularly happy with your preferred method as I battle with HD continental one.

[@shawnasampson4844]

Craziest thing my mom passed and I vaguely remembered her teaching me young the second style you taught (she always called it the lazy mans way lol) but I am quarter way through making scarf ahh and I didn't do the second part adding the yarn over the loop...I believe by looking that must knot the end?

[@heatherhaigh2155]

Thank you, I am so grateful for this tutorial

[@dionysiabacopulos7133]

great explanation

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Dionysia Bacopulos Thank you ♥️ when you are ready, I have a beautiful scarf with a Celtic cable pattern: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpOXZax9arStaJo

[@marybaker8273]

Like the slow, smooth visual. Liked both cast-ons.

[@shirleycorrie5678]

I too, can’t understand why you can’t reverse this, use a short tail and take from the ball for the stitches. My worry is I’ll have too little on my long tail, not too much. But I’ll say your description is excellent! I watched my mother in law use this method (with the diamond) for years. Recently decided to try my hand at knitting and wished I had taken more care learning her technique. You’ve aced it for me...Thanks!

[@nolaheslop8985]

Brilliantly clear, thank you.

[@ikozden9079]

When I cast on with one needle, the tension can be too tight and the edge or the first row is too narrow. However casting with 2 needles will make the first row too loose. Any suggestions?

[@libbyworkman3459]

@I Kozden. The usual advice is to use a larger size needle to cast on. That is what I do. This cast on has a really beautiful edge. I am planning to work on both ways to see which works better for me.

[@Catra7]

I'm a lefty and use your second method but instead of using my left thumb, I use the other needle to place the loop then knit it off. It seems easier to control the stitch tension as they're cast on.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Catra7 I might have to try that myself!

[@Catra7]

@@TheCastingOnCouchI tried using my thumb after watching your video but couldn't do it. Had to pick up the other needle! 😄

[@graceokoh8728]

Thank you sooo much!!

[@SendInYourSkeletons123]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

It’s so good to hear that this video has helped. If you need a really quick recap, I also have a MinKnit guide on The Longtail Cast On: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_VZaOroLppaZo

[@bizbizeorguler7234]

Hello dear friend. Your channel are awesome!! I subscribed to your channel and liked! Best regards from Istanbul

[@TheEarthCamper]

im understanding the concept but am depleting the length of my tail and not from the ball. is this normal? ive even gone against your word (dont be mad!) and switched the tail and the ball-end of the yarn to deplete from the ball end instead, but to no avail. a slight clarification will help :) cheers xx

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

If you have too much tail after casting on, trim the excess. Better to have too much tail than not enough!

[@TheEarthCamper]

The Casting On Couch totally got it! I’m knitting mittens with three needles currently :) thank you so much! I’ve always cast in another way having done scarves and hats with a seam for about 12 years in between crocheting, but this cast on just upped my game :) wahoo!

[@11sweetdixie]

Yes, you should be depleting the tail.

[@ranjeetakaur3219]

Nice way. Good tip.

[@TheCastingOnCouch]

Ranjeeta Kaur Many thanks!

[@lisaderry7247]

So much easier the 2nd way.

[@brendalux2462]

Thank you for repeating slowly so it has time to sink in. Great work
