Picking up stitches around armhole (using Magic Loop method)

In this video I demonstrate how to pick up stitches around an armhole, using my Azalea top as the example. I show you how to pick up at a ratio of 2 stitches for every 3 rows on a 32" circular, and then how you would work the armhole trim using the Magic Loop method.

I’ve looked everywhere for a video like this one, that includes the picking up of the stitches and knitting in the round. Thank you so much!

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your video. Found it very helpful. Which circular knitting needles do you recommend - fixed or interchangeable? Any specific brand you prefer?
