Knitting Tips: Knitted cast-on for underarms on a top-down sweater

Learn this method once and you'll want to use it every time! Using a knitted cast-on for the underarm stitches in a top-down sweater is as easy as knitting a stitch and way more stable than the usually-recommended backward loop cast-on. The stitches maintain their tension so you can knit them easily when you come back around to them (unlike *cough* backward loop) and picking up those stitches when it's time to knit the arms is a breeze. This video shows every step of how to cast on the underarm stitches using the knitted cast-on.
