Long Tail Cast On Without Estimating Tail Length // Knitting Tips & TechniquesJulie Weisenberger from Cocoknits shares her technique for casting on a large number of stitches using the long tail cast on method.
Long tail CO provides a neat edge to your work. But how often have you CO 200 of 220 and run out of yarn, ripped, CO again only to have 3 yards of extra tail at the end?
When a pattern requires you to CO 100+ sts how do you estimate how long a tail to leave? The answer: donât.
Instead, use two tails of yarn, either from two separate balls of yarn or a tail from the inside and a tail from the outside of a center-pull ball.
See the step-by-step instructions on the Cocoknits website: https://cocoknits.com/tips-and-tutorials/techniques/no-more-estimating-tail-length-for-a-long-tail-co/2023-05-01 18:48:00 -

Tunisian Crochet Without A ChainCrochet cast-on. This cast-on uses a crochet hook to make the cast-on stitches. This is suitable for either Tunisian Crochet or for knitting. (The reason why the title says Tunisian Crochet Without A Chain is because a standard Tunisian Crochet cast-on uses a chain and then pull-up-a-loop for each chain.)2022-02-10 17:19:00

The Cable Cast On :: Knitting Cast On #3 :: Right HandedThe Cable Cast On is a technique used to draw your cast on edge in closer. It is a similar method to the Basic Knitted Cast On and creates the same type of effect. It is not used for cable knitting, but is great for keeping rib patterns from flaring at the edge.

Tubular Cast OnThe tubular cast on creates an edgeless edge to K1P1 fabric, with the stitches from one side of the fabric wrapping uninterrupted around to the other side. This video demonstrates using the crochet cast on as a start to the tubular cast on. You can use waste yarn or the long tail of the project yarn to begin. You can work over an even number of sts or an odd number, and you can work flat or in the round. A more complex cast-on than most, but a very worthwhile effect.2019-02-04 10:44:00

Bulgarian / Latvian / Estonian Cast OnYes, this cast on goes by many names (as most of them do). This is the single-strand version, and it creates a nice, elastic edge that's a bit more decorative than a typical Long Tail Cast On.
It's good for beginning top-down socks, shawls, mittens... It's springy and stretchy and pretty and versatile.2019-01-30 08:17:00
