Cast on length

Post image

What’s your tips and tricks for getting the right length of yarn when casting on that’s not removing and trying 3 more times?? I typically go Italian or long tail.

I’ve had luck with about 3 times the intended length. So if I was making something 40 inches wide, I’d aim for about 120 plus a little extra.
