I believe you made this the easiest I've seen anyone make it before. TY much appreciated.

[@donna519]

Thank you. Your instructions are always clear and very easy to follow. Lovely speaking voice and great closeup camera work. So appreciative of the hard work and dedication you put forth to help knitters and crocheters. Speaking for myself, traveling to a yarn shop is at least an hour away and expensive to sit with an instructor, so I rely on KZbin videos to help me learn. So again, my sincere thanks. Have a wonderful day ❤

Nice cast on, but how do you join the beginning edge without it looking uneven?

[@MarlyBird]

Use the tail to connect it seamlessly.
