A short video demonstrating how to cast on your next knitting project using the longtail cast on technique by designer Patricia Cantos. This cast on is the fastest knitting cast on once you get the hang of it and once you are done, your first row is already knitted.

This video breaks down the process in steps and uses slow motion video to capture each movement. Longtail cast on is also known as Y, Sling shot, continental and two strand cast on and is ideal for projects needing a meduim amount of stretch on the cast on edges.
