Bernice, that is the knit cast on.
Ramona, that sounds like the Long Tail Cast on.

Hi,

I start with a simple slip knot, and use it as my first stitch.  Then I knit and put the new stitch onto the left needle.  Then you use that to knit the next stitch and slip that onto the left needle.  You do that until you have all of your stitches knitted onto the left needle.

Bernice and the sweet Octane.

I didn't learn to do them. One lady said she knits the first row as she casts on and starts with the end so you don't have to guess how much yarn you will need for the cast on end. If somebody knows that method, I would like to learn it. Part of learning is knowing what questions to ask. Isn't it?
