Length of the yarn tail is 3 times the length of the cast on edge
Fold the yarn and double the strand.
- Put yarn tail on your left thumb, and working yarn on your left index finger.
- Take the needle and put it on a top of the yarn. (Basically, you need to do the long tail cast on, with a small trick).
- Insert the needle into the loop on your thumb
- Pick the working yarn from your index finger and pull it through the loop on your thumb
- Pull tem tight (Now you have 2 cast on stitches on your needle)
- Trick: insert the thumb into the loop from right to left and repeat previous steps
- Repeat altering the way you insert the thumb into the loop for each new stitch
