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

Pros: stretchy
Cons: requires a longer tail than the long tail cast on, calculating out the proper length of tail prior to beginning is imperative
