Would it be possible to see the backside of the project once you’ve caught the float on the next round? Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely give this a try.

Strangely, before the days of KZbin, my instinct had me pick the bar up on my right needle and doing the same. I always wondered if there was a ‘correct’ way to do this but it seems it’s more or less the same. Great video 😊

Thank you so much! This is similar to doing a M1 stitch and then knitting it together with the next stitch, except you're picking up the M1 stitch from the float instead of from a bar. Maybe it could be called a Make 1 Float. I am now using this method exclusively to catch (or trap) floats in my stranded colorwork projects and find it to be the easiest way yet. It's very helpful to know that a long float is created on one row, but that it is not caught until the next row. You can plan ahead with less pressure. I also find that my stranded colorwork is easier with fewer mistakes if I write out a repeat instead of just referring to the chart. For example: [ 2W, 2B, 3W, 2B,1W ] means to knit 2 whites, 2 blues, 3 whites, 2 blues, and 1 white, for the repeat.

The is a great method! I think it may use more yarn but then again, maybe not! At any rate, it would totally do away with my usual "fun" twisting the float color with the color I'm knitting with clockwise, and then twisting them counter-clockwise the next time I capture a float so I don't end up with two completely twisted-up yarn balls! To say nothing of all the time that takes, vs just knitting along uninterrupted on the initial row, and then quickly scooping up the float and knitting with the live stitch on the needle. I'm about to start a colorwork hat and I will try it!

When I’m knitting with 3 or more colors per row, I usually knit 2 passes down the row, with the first pass being with the color having the longest stranding. Then on the second pass I catch the long floats just like you do, using the next 2-3 colors of the following pass. 3-4 colors per row made MUCH easier!

Hi there! So you just knit according to your pattern. When you come to a round with long floats, you leave them as is in that round. Then, in the next round, you catch them as you knit (as shown in the video). Hope this helps! xoxo Courtney

The row count essentially doesn't matter. Btw. Thank you. You may have saved my sanity! I will try your technique for sure. Thank you 🖤🖤🐈‍⬛️

Thank you! So you would leave the long floats across those 10 stitches as is in the round you’re working those floats and then as you work the next round you would pick up and knit those floats as shown in the tutorial. 😊
@shaynaformity1384
@shaynaformity1384 Жыл бұрын
You could catch the float with the 5th stitch of each 10-stitch group, which would leave one 4-st float and one 5-st float. However, I would catch the float with the 4th and 7th stitches because I'm prone to snagging my floats when I wear anything that's colorwork! Doing the 4th and 7th leaves you with a 3-st float, followed by a 2-st float, then another 3-st float. I hope that makes sense!
@marjoriemillner9961
@marjoriemillner9961 Жыл бұрын
Forgive me if you already know this, but I also think the usual floatcatching rule would apply: don't catch the float on the same stitch each time around, or you will get a "ladder" with the float color showing through. So if you have several rows with long floats in the same place, change up where you catch the float so they don't all line up vertically. This may mean catching on the 5th stitch one time around, then the 4th (or maybe both the 4th and 7th if you wish,) then on the 6th, etc, keeping it random.
