Wrapped Provisional Cast On for Sweater Underarm Sts

Learn how to do a wrapped provisional cast on around the same piece of waste yarn to create your underarm stitches when knitting a top-down sweater. Using this technique means all of your sleeve stitches will be neatly held on the same piece of waste yarn and there will be no need to "pick up" underarm stitches later.

Thanks, Ellen! I knew there had to be a way to get around having to pick up stitches under the arms! Great tutorial, as always.

Thank you for this video, I'm designing my first ever sweater and I've used this method for the first time. I'm very happy to have found it and will definitely be using it again. Your explanation is very clear and helpful 💕

This is my favorite method since I tried it after having seen your tutorial. I am very happy with the look of it and it is easy to work. The stretch is the same as the rest of the fabric. and indeed....the work can be worn inside out! Thank you!

I'm knitting a non-work, just for fun, sweater right now and used this method. It's my favorite.
