Which CO in middle of pattern?

I’ve started my first sweater today :shock: and I’ve gotten to the point where it says

“at the end of the increase row, cast on xx sts, join the work into a round…etc.”

What I don’t know is what CO to use. I always use long tail (or provisional) CO and obviously neither of those will work here. Do I use knit on or cable or what? :??

I would use the knitting-on method. You could also use the backward loop, but the stitches may tend to be kinda loose.

Okay, thanks! That’s what I figured, but I frogging is not in my plans… :rollseyes: (yeah right) so I thought I’d see what you all though. :wink:
