This variation of the long tail cast on creates a great foundation for a rib pattern. Essentially you are alternating between the long tail cast on and a reverse long tail cast on. The result is a rib pattern that allows for a more stretchy edge that is still durable.<\/p>\n<p>Useful for: anything with ribbing, particularly cuffs on socks or sweaters.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Take a length of yarn from your ball of yarn.<\/p>\n<p>Tip &ndash;  For the long tail measure about one inch per stitch. How many stitches will be dependent on your pattern<\/p>\n<p>Warning! &ndash; If you do not measure enough yarn to begin with you may run out will have to start over.You can always cut off extra yarn when you finish casting on.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Make a slip knot and insert the needle into the loop. Tighten slip knot onto needle.<\/p>\n<p>Warning!- When casting on a lot of stitches the yarn has a tendency to untwist. Make sure the long tail is closest to you so you can easily retwist the yarn as you go.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: With your bottom three fingers grab both pieces of yarn and hold them in your palm.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Take your index finger and thumb and push them through the two pieces of yarn.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Shift your thumb and forefinger backwards to pull the yarn tight. This should create what looks like a slingshot or &ldquo;V&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: Take the tip of your needle and pick up the bottom piece of yarn closest to your body.<\/p>\n<p>Step 7: Swing the needle around and under the yarn wrapped around your index finger.<\/p>\n<p>Step 8: Pull the needle through the loop of yarn on your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>Step 9: Release the yarn around the thumb.<\/p>\n<p>Step 10: Pull the yarn tight on the needle, but not so tight that you are unable to move the stitch easily along the needle. Reposition your fingers back in the &ldquo;V&rdquo; formation.<\/p>\n<p>Step 11: Bring the tip of your needle under the last strand of yarn on your index finger<\/p>\n<p>Step 12: Bring the needle over the second strand on your thumb, around, and under.<\/p>\n<p>Step 13: Pull the needle through the loop on your index finger.<\/p>\n<p>Step 14: Release the yarn on your index finger.<\/p>\n<p>Step 15: Pull the yarn tight onto the needle, making sure it can easily move along the needle. Reposition your fingers in the &ldquo;V&rdquo; formation.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat steps 6-15 until you have cast on the desired number of stitches.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-191\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On.jpg\" alt=\"Example of the 1x1 Rib Cast On\" title=\"1x1-Rib-Cast-On\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" class=\"size-full wp-image-191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On.jpg 900w, https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/newstitchaday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/1x1-Rib-Cast-On.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of the 1x1 Rib Cast On<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1&#215;1 rib cast on is a way of starting a knitting project with ribbing.
