Long tail cast on method for knitting WITHOUT yarn length estimation

This video demonstrates my favourite way to work the long tail cast on method and ensure you end up with the perfect tail length every time - no estimation of yarn required! It's a particularly useful method for casting on knitting projects that may require several hundred stitches, such as blankets and garments. The technique is demonstrated for both single skein and multi-skein projects.

Clearly explained demonstration. This is very useful for large projects. I don't like guesswork when it comes to long tail cast on. This method eliminates the worry of running out of yarn! Thank you!

This is wonderful. I love this method. I'm trying this method on my next sweater. I struggle with getting enough yarn length when I cast on... so this is truly a big help. And thank you for the wonderful explanation.

I followed this method to start off the chevron stripe baby blanket but I'm not sure if I did something weird, it looks normal when I've just cast on, but once I knit the first row as I knit each stitch the bar between the cast on stitch on the left needle and the knitted row 1 stitch on the right needle becomes quite loose. Sorry I don't know how to describe that any better.
