Long Tail Cast On

[@pngo1818]

The best longtail cast on tutorial for absolute beginners on KZbin! Thank you for making it easy to follow along and I’ve appreciated the extra tips as well. All the best💜

The BEST cast on video anywhere! Thank-you for not rambling on about irrelevant drivel.... and THANK-YOU for using huge needles and yarn in colors that contrast with the background so it is easy to see EXACTLY what you are doing. Beautifully well planned and beautifully well executed tutorial! PS/in 2007 I bought a "I taught myself to knit" kit for $10.00 at Walmart and yes, I learned to knit beautiful items. I enjoy watching the tutorials to keep my knitting accurate especially since I haven't knitted in about 6 years due to osteoarthritis in my hands.(It's like learning to knit again... how to hold the yarn and keep the tension equal, etc) I'm a retired art teacher and some tutorials are aggravating to watch because of too much useless jabbering plus difficulty seeing the yarn and needles. Your video is perfect... even the lighting!

[@SpangJ]

Same here, I've gone through many cast on vids but finally I can do it myself because of this clear one. Thank you so much

[@alexandriagentry5220]

this was so helpful! i watched like five different videos before this and couldn’t figure it out and got it perfectly when you explained it ❤️❤️❤️

[@bhookedcrochet]

I'm so glad!

[@Sddvhjkkll]

I love how you keep the video short but you still go slowly enough for me to understand.

[@evaannavonbehne8605]

WOW! Easiest and clearest method I've seen. I got it immediately. I'm going to check out your other videos.

[@michelleholden6716]

Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't do this method until I watched your video. This is such a simple method and you explain it so well

[@wyldeness]

Thank you This Is the third tutorial on this that I've watched and the only one that made sense and that I could follow easily.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for the feedback 💕

[@cruzdominguez5114]

[@seenawu8492]

Thank you soooo much I was looking through so many other videos and just couldn’t get it right and have been frustrated for an entire afternoon thank you sooo much 🙏

[@debbiegoodman3364]

Finally! This makes sense, and I’m able to cast on! Thank you. Good video

[@sra3402]

If you update your videos, remember to mention that the 1st row is done along with the cast on stitches. So depending on the pattern, either a knitted or purled long tail cast on should be used.

[@angieg7257]

This video was sooooo helpful! I like not having to make a slipknot.

[@h.s4617]

Thank you so,so,so, much I really appreciate it this tutorial.

[@renoia3067]

me, sobbing: what edit: ok, I watched the video 3 or 4 times and I think I've got it. Thank you

[@TheTgdixon]

You made it so easy! Thanks!

[@sheemakhan459]

Does it matter whether we put the short tail side on the index finger and the running yarn on the thumb side...im asking because i did this by switching the order...and i noticed that if i put the running yarn end on index finger .the running yarn and the short yarn side are in the right position for knit stitch..im a beginner..trying to do this first stitch ..so maybe im wrong ...but can someone tell me the correct way

[@gorielombard5563]

I have just learned this method but the promlem I have is the tread both are together so how do i no which is the front or back

[@annkruml]

thank you for sharing this video. I'm fairly new to knitting. I was shown then I was young how to. my question is there are so many cast on techniques do the have different reasons why they're would be recommended for the pattern? or maybe it's there a difference or can you cast on any way you want?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Some cast on methods are required for certain projects or stitches (for example, if you need a stretchy edge). Others are used for decorative purposes. I tend to use the long tail cast on for just about everything. I think preference plays a pretty big role too :)

[@annkruml]

OK thank you

[@foreverook]

Does the slip knot from the beginning "count" as a stitch? It doesn't seem to have the same weight as the other stitches

[@contactjoy4140]

No. The slip knit is skipped in the first row of knitting then woven in as an end.

[@taylormatthews7488]

So just keep casting on till you run out of yarn?

[@contactjoy4140]

You keep casting on until you have the number of stitches on your needle that your patten recommends.

[@taylormatthews7488]

@@contactjoy4140 idk what kind of stupid juice I was drinking 3 years ago but I appreciate you answering my question. At this time all i ever do is use long tail cast on :) and so far I'm a decent knitter...progress

[@karendewald4523]

I’d like to create an online knitting circle so we can create together but not have to be concerned about catching COVID-19. Please bring a friend and some virtual hot cocoa to share!🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gorielombard5563]

Normal cast on the tread is on the left this way the tread is one the right side, 😔

[@suttonwinona]

What to do with excess tail if over estimated?

[@contactjoy4140]

Cut it off when you are finished and use the scrap yarn as stitch holder.
