I'm knitting-in-the-round a flip-top mitten (like the Broad Street
mittens at
http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall02/PATTbroadstreet.html
but not that pattern). After getting close to the fingers, you knit the
palm stitches onto store them on a string holder, then knit the back
stitches, then cast on new stitches for the palm side of the flap. How
do I cast those stitches on? Should I use the Single Cast-On or Cable
Cast-On, to use the terms from
http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/basic_techniques/index.php
or some other method? The next few palm rows are going to be K1, P1
ribbing, if that makes a difference.

Funny, I'm knitting a similar pair. Or at least will be if the swatch
felts properly.
I'd lean towards to cable cast on as you do want some elasticity to
that part.
