The wrap cast on is one of the few methods that you start without a slip knot on the needle.

All you have to do to get ready to cast on with this method is position the yarn so that the tail end is going off to the left and the ball end is on the right side of your needle.

You don't need a long tail for this method, but you should leave a few inches of tail end to weave in later.
