Hi Jamie – the other way of doing the long-tail cast-on is the “slingshot” method…we just shot a video on that technique last week, so it will be up soon.

To measure how much tail to leave for this cast on, simply wrap the yarn around the needle once for every CO stitch you need. One wrap of the yarn around the needle is enough to complete one CO stitch.

When I learned how to do a long tail cast on it was holding the yarn in the none needle hand like a V – but this works too. I just wondered how to gauge how much yarn to leave for the tail when making blankets and larger pieces.

Thanks

Love the videos!!
