Long Tail Cast On Video

Category : Fiber Arts, Patterns

Here is our video on how to do a long tail cast on. For those that might need a little help with casting on for the swatch or stole, this video is for you.

Please excuse the ocean background, we did not get a chance to do a separate audio recording so we didn’t have a way to reduce the background ocean noise. Be sure to check out the video on chart reading for all those who have not yet taken the plunge and used a knitting chart to complete your pattern.

To view the video just click below. Happy Knitting!

Nice video DK. The explanation is very clear and the huge needles make it very easy to see what you are doing. I will be sharing this video with a friend who is trying to learn the long tail cast on. Your explanation is much better than mine.

Very nice and slow, thank you. And the brown yarn is easy to see against the light background. I like the Bonus!OceanSound, too.

Your knit along is going great, your videos are inspiring to say the least with the ocean background, and your pattern is very intriguing and challenging. Thank you.

Is this the link directed to on SOSiii hint #1? I do not see the detail for ‘Long tail cast over two needle method’ prescribed. Am I missing a link?

Looking forward to starting :)

Okay…nmpq! After taking an actual break at work I saw the next paragraph in the hint.

Love the sound of the ocean!!!! Thanks!
You went nice and slow and made this look very easy. . . . .now to try it!
