SEAMLESS UNDERARMS WITHOUT HOLES. Top Down sweater knitting. (Part 1 of 3).

In this video I’ll share with you how to knit seamless underarms in a top down sweater without holes or gaps and without any extra stitches to cover up those holes. I included all my tips and tricks to make knitting easy and fun.

I analyzed my past knits, tweaked this method, and already used it in several of my sweaters. I think it's the best cast on method for the underarm stitches. And the gaps/holes are closed securely and neatly.

The algorithm of this method is easily repeatable with predictable results. So you’ll be able to always make very neat looking and also seamless underarms.

It turned out to be a very long step-by-step tutorial, so I divided it into three episodes. This video is Part 1 of 3.
I hope you'll find it helpful.
