I have made a few top down sweaters and in the pattern I use, you cast on 4 or 8 stitches onto the right tip on the needle. You can’t use cable cast on can you? The only time I have used cable cast-on it casts onto the left tip, correct? The only other cast on I know how to do looks messy to me and the stitches are so hard to knit on the next row…
