A two color cast-on based on the long tail cast on method . Useful for double knitting or casting on in pattern. The opposite color of course shows on each side of the work; a downfall for this cast on.

great video. I’m just learning to knit with two colors and I could not figure out how to cast on when dealing with both colors. thanks!
Thank you!!! -from a beginner.
If your project says 20 then do a total of 20. If you are making a double knit item (2 sides knit at the same time) following a pattern not intended for double knit, then you would cast on 20 for each side.
My guess is you just want a total of 20 though as your pattern states.
thanks . If i need cast on 20 stitches , both side needs 20 stitches or just 20 for all ?
thank u very much
I do thank you so much for this video!
I am now interested in the method of Estonia,
kihnu vits. Your video is very helpful! Thank you.
I’ve only used this as a cast on for double knitting. It is just as stretchy as a regular long-tail cast on if that is your concern.
thanks for posting this! I just have one question, though, is it ok to use this style in doing a brioche stitch in the round?..thanks again
Oh my gosh. You have made my double-knit worries disappear. Thank you!! This was super easy to understand. (:
Great Job showing how this is done! Thank you!
No, this method will be a closed cast on. I would think for what you want you would have to cast on with each color individually then manually alternate them on one needle.
Quick question: Does this leave an open bottom to the knitting? In other words, will the two pieces be separate when the’re finished (assuming you don’t twist the first and last stitches of a row and you find a suitable way of binding off)?
I am familiar with double knitting but have only used a two-color long-tail cast on by holding both strands of yarn as one. I am looking for something that will leave me with two distinct pieces of knitting when finished.
Thank you so much.
Nice job. Easy to see and well explained. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. Clear, detailed, and slow. Excellent tutorial.
Wonderful! I’ve always wanted to know how to do that. So easy! Thanks so much.
