if your pattern calls for many colors, would you add them all at the same time when the first color is called for, or add them in as they are called for? For example if the pattern starts with two mc stitches and then calls for four c1 stitches-would you add the color 1 strand and then wait for the time when the pattern calls for c2, r would you just hold all your contrasting colors at the same time?

You can cut it and weave in the loose end - this is often what I choose to do myself. The fabric can be bulkier with two colors than with one, so sometimes people may prefer to continue to carry the yarn (even if it is not showing on the front) to have a similar feel to the fabric. But personally I'd cut and weave in the ends.
@danahmcauley80193 жыл бұрын
Thank you for this tutorial! How do you make sure the floats don't unravel??
@ChemKnitsTutorials3 жыл бұрын
Hi Danah, I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. Floats cannot unravel unless you unravel the knit stitches since they're all twisted together. If your tension is too loose, then you could end up with a sagging float, so this is one reason why if you have a long float (5+ stitches) it helps to twist the carried yarn around the working yarn. This anchors it into place and prevents a long piece of yarn just sitting there. I hope this helps!

@ChemKnitsTutorials4 жыл бұрын
Depending on where the deceases are located, I would end up making a few triangles in the hat - so if it is K2tog across then acording to the pattern I would K2tog in c1, then K2tog in c2, etc. If you're supposed to K2tog across the whole row, then I might just transition to a solid color for the top of the hat after that.) It is a little easier to try to keep up with the colorwork pattern if you are doing K4, K2tog or something like that. I hope this makes some sense.

Marco Daub Are you working flat or in the round? I don't have any videos on stripes right now. If you are switching colors ever 1 row (in the round) or two rows (flat or in the round) you can leave both yarns attached and make sure you're a little loose with the first stitch of a color change. If you are doing thicker stripes you might need to cut the yarn in between. If you give me some more specifics I can try to help explain more. Good luck!
@andreasdaub92197 жыл бұрын

Ah. In this case, I would leave your main color of yarn attached, and then join the contrasting color for the 2-3 rounds. I would cut the yarn after those rounds, and loosely pull the main color up so you can continue knitting. It should be loose enough to not pull the fabric tight AND tight enough so you won't get a super loose gap stitch. Alternatively, you could cut the yarn each time you change colors and then knot the yarn and weave in loose ends at the end. Good luck!

slipping stitches to alternate colours seems easier.

For this type of simple pattern, it could be. For some more complicated color work patterns, it is a lot less work to do the stranded method.

Bit difficult

Good video, but sometimes your knitting is so fast that the camera can’t focus before you’ve already moved on to the next stitch. If you ever remake this video, I’d suggest a better camera setup somehow, slow down a little and/or repeat a stitch, and PLEASE lose your vocal fry.

Great suggestions, thank you! when I try to do POV knitting the camera is in between my hands and head so it can get a bit awkward sometimes.

The most difficult part of stranded knitting is how to hold the yarns either in both hands or in one and this video does not explain it at all.
