The final step in making a stitch for the long-tail cast on method is simply to slide the loop of your left thumb and pull the thread so that the loop holds onto the needle, again making sure not to do so too tightly.
To continue making stitches, loop the yarn that is attached to the ball back around your thumb and repeat as many times as needed for your project.
The great thing about the long-tail cast on is that once you get the hang of it you can complete the stitches very quickly.
