This video is a knitting masterclass on cast-ons. It will help you understand how they work and how you can manipulate them to achieve stretchier cast-on edges. By comparing it to the longtail cast-on as a benchmark, you can easily find the technique that's best for your next project.
The stretchiness of a cast-on will depend on your needle size and your tension but, of course, also on the technique. By combining two different techniques for one edge, you can explore virtually endless opportunities.
