Long Tail Cast On

This cast-on is my go-to cast-on for a lot of projects.

Material

To work this cast-on, you will need your ball of yarn and a set of needle.

Step 1

Wrap the yarn 10 times around your needle point. Measure the length of yarn necessary to do these 10 rounds, this will give you the amount of yarn you need to cast on 10 sts.

Multiply this length by the multiple of 10 sts you want to cast-on. (For example, you want to cast-on 30 sts, you multiply the length by 3). Measures this length on your strand of yarn then add 20 cm.
