Jogless Cast On in the Round // Technique Tuesday

This video demonstrates how to cast on in the round using the long tail cast on (LTCO) so that the jog is minimized, and the tail is woven in to maintain the continuity of the edge. Four common methods to minimizing the jog are demonstrated briefly, with my favorite three-trick technique demonstrated in detail.
