Long Tail Cast On

The long tail cast on is the most common cast on, creating both a firm foundation and an elegantly braided finished edge.

Pros: quick and easy to master, it is a versatile cast-on useful for most projects

Cons: it is vital that the proper length of tail is calculated prior to beginning, there’s nothing worse than running out of yarn before all of the stitches have been cast on
