Read more about how to do the knitted cast-on at the KnitFreedom blog: https://www.knitfreedom.com/blog/knitted-cast-on/
The knitted cast-on requires just one strand of yarn, making it perfect for adding stitches to your cast-on when you run out of tail, or adding more than 2 or 3 stitches to the width of your project in any given row.
In the knitted cast on technique, you simply knit a stitch and then pass it back to your left-hand needle.
This is similar to a cable cast-on, where you insert your needle between the first and second stitches to form the stitch.
I think this way is much easier, and if you twist the stitch as you place it on the left-hand needle, you are already set up to cast on the next stitch.
