TRY THE LONG TAIL CAST ON THUMB METHOD FOR BEGINNERS: https://sheepandstitch.com/library/long-tail-cast-on-for-beginners/

The longtail cast on is a great all-purpose cast on. It's stretchy, lays flat and looks pretty darn nice too! Because it's all-around awesome, make the longtail your default cast on. It won't fail you. But it can be a bit tricky to do at first. So, follow along and take it slow: clamp down, make a diamond shape, touch your thumb. (These terms only make sense after you watch the video!).
