How to Knit Jogless Stripes in the Round (Stockinette Stitch)

This video demonstrates how to work jogless stripes, in the round, and when knitting stockinette. A "jog" is where there is a break in the horizontal line of a stripe, which occurs because the beginning of round stitch (in your new colour) and end of round stitch (in your old colour) sit directly next to each other. The method shown is my favourite way to avoid jogs - it is a very easy technique to work, and can be used for nearly any width of stripe!

I had seen many videos about jogless but you are the one that explains and demonstrates the best. Thank you ❤️

[@Darvit_Nu]

Absolutely! The other tutorials didn't seem to create such a smooth transition & this explanation is exactly what I needed. She's a very good teacher. 😊

[@selmarubio7951]

Wow, I’ve watched so many videos on working jog-less stripes in the round and this is the best and easiest I’ve seen. I think so many people make assumptions about what you do and do not know and use language that not everyone understands, but your explanation was so clear and concise. Thank you! I hope you have more instructional videos because I am new to knitting and am trying to learn something new every week whether I am working on that technique or not. Thanks so much for providing this. 😊❤️

[@TheSweaterCollective]

Thank you for your kind comment Selma!! I'm so glad the video was helpful and that you enjoyed it! I love making tutorial videos so there are lots more on my channel, and I'm always happy to add requests to my list for things you'd specifically like to see demonstrated too! :)

[@jillybird1567]

I cannot express how great this technique is. Thank you so much!

The Best Tutorial on Jogless stripes. Thank you for sharing this video! You explained it so perfectly.

[@tigerkeats6379]

Thank you - this is the best method by far!!

[@Darvit_Nu]

This is BRILLIANT! 😍 I'm knotting an upperclassmen Hogwarts house scarf & the jog made me so upset I frogged the whole project & turned to youtube looking for help... apparently I was looking for YOU! 😁❤ Thank you so much for such an easy tutorial to a wonderful colorwork technique. Left you a well deserved like & subscribed! 🫶🏻 I appreciate you so much.

[@loreenamaier420]

Loving your version

[@andreascott9577]

Awestome. Agreed. You explain very well.

[@donnalongnecker8165]

Great video, explains the details ! Thanks!!

[@convdsteen6812]

Great video and explanation! Thank you .

[@masuganut2082]

Wow!!! Perfect!!! I’ve never wanted to change colors cuz I didn’t want to have that jog! This is perfect!!! Thank you so much!! Perfect video!

[@christinalloyd4701]

This looks much simpler than the yarn-over method, will give it a try, Thanks!

[@TheSweaterCollective]

Hope you like it!

[@ahlemT97]

[@bugabooinsectfeeders3059]

Thank you!

[@kimberleygirl7533]

Really cool. Thanks for sharing!🇦🇺🫶

[@LivieLi-rr1rt]

❤❤❤❤thank you so much for the tutorial, this is exactly what I needed

[@jillybird1567]

Thank you so much! Can't wait to try this on my current hat project. If you are working narrow stripes(1/2" -3/4") do you have to cut & restart each color or can you keep the two colors attached like w/the one row alternating stripes?

[@pdobani]

Super good video.👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽😺😺

[@janeshipley6993]

very nicely explained - thanks! i’ll give it a go. there’s one thing that i don’t understand though. i’ve experimented with 4 or 5 different versions of making jogless stripes this week, and i’ve got that many more yet to try - i’m really serious about learning how to do it! but every single one looks terrible. i think it might be because i pull the join on my dpn’s too tight? i always end up with a prominent hole. help! (please😉)

[@TracyKNixon]

could this method be used in knitting magic loop? Thank you x

[@lauramenegatti1159]

Great! Thanks. Does it work for knitting Fair Isle too? For example: I end my round, start with a new colour. Knit 1 round and transfer last stitch and work it again. In the next round I work last stitch in the row below (k2tog). If I have to continue with the same colour in the following round, what can I do? Thanks so much.

[@liseduquette7560]

Could you please clarify how this method works with a stripe which is one-row only? Do perform the step of knitting two-together and then use this last stich to knit it again?

[@TheSweaterCollective]

Hi Jacques, fantastic question! I've actually come up with a slightly modified version of this technique for 1-round stripes, where you rotate the colour change spot. I think it has incredibly neat results and looks so much better than applying the steps exactly like in this video. It's something I'm more than happy to make a dedicated video on, so if you can stay tuned, I'll try to have that tutorial out later this week!

[@marleybee9930]

This is ingenious! Thank you for sharing this technique. I'm glad that I watched several videos on jogless stripes in the round before finding yours. This is my first time incorporating stripes into my knitting and I feel with this method I can now feel comfortable doing so. I wanted to ask if on the first row of introducing the new color do you do this or just when you have finished with the new color and ready to start the main color again?? Thanks!

[@TheSweaterCollective]

My pleasure Marley! You only need to use the technique once as you're changing colours, but you do need to use it every time you change colours to avoid any jogs. Once you've done the pick up and knit of the lower stitch, and worked the 2 stitches together with your new colour, you don't need to work the final stitch of the round again - just proceed to your next round as normal. However if you're working 1-round stripes you do need to keep performing a jogless technique every single round, but I recommend this method for 1-round stripes instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6elmHSrgN2ImdE

[@unifanes]

Does it works well also with one-row stripes?

[@christinaluo]

is it a pretty similar method for a k1p1 rib? just that when we pop the below row stitch up we p2tg instead correct?

[@masuganut2082]

Btw I just subscribed!!!! 😄😄❤️❤️

[@sophiehopkins602]

Can you do it in a blanket the same way?

[@seeCV]

great explanation. but i apply same technique at the beginning of the round when changing color not before the patterns says. here there is a 60' sec short kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX3KiX-sebaaras . Could you tell why do you prefer changing color last stitch before end row?

[@lsncred19]

Ok but that changes the stitch count

[@TheSweaterCollective]

Hi Lesia, there's no change of stitch count with this technique. Are you referring to the stitch that's picked up and placed on the needle? As demonstrated, you knit it together with the live stitch on your needle, and therefore the increase is immediately cancelled out by the decrease. Let me know if that makes sense!

[@selmarubio7951]

Also love that there is no change of stitch count or dropped stitches. That makes me feel weird too. Hahah!

[@haileybalmer9722]

I really want to learn this, and I'm going to have to learn it from someone who drank water recently and who doesn't fill silence by loudly licking the roof of their mouth. That's gross, why are you making those sounds?

[@annabellecloutier161]

wow are you ok?

[@janeshipley6993]

well, hailey, tell us how you really feel. really though, could you be a bit nicer next time you post somewhere? thanks.
