Jogless Single Row Bullseye Stripe (Not Helix Knitting!)

[@EstherBrandon-hx8ux]

Patty , I am writing to share my gratitude. Single row stripes are challenging ! and I was particularly challenged . I tried different ways to get a smooth jogless row on a capelet I am making. I am an experienced knitter and was frustrated and feeling a bit hopeless. Then I found your video. Your instructions are so well detailed and your language is so clear. You remind us so precisely which yarn goes where, which direction to point your needle, to go into the front or back of the stitch, all these critical details you go through step-step with uncluttered, such clear words. You are a gifted teacher who teaches with passion and joy. Thank you, Esther

Masterful technique. Actually, it's brilliant. You r indeed a Guru of problem solving in knitting. Thank you!

[@Ulyssa12]

Every time you snug up the two headed monster stitch, I can't help but yell "It's so PRETTY!!". I've been mussing around with these single stripes to get them jogless and it hasn't been so pretty lol.

I can't even begin to describe how brilliant this is! I've been having an absolute nightmare trying to work out how to achieve this and here you are with the perfect technique - thank you so much!

[@drejoicepr]

I did a practice exercise and I went step by step with you and the result was excellent, phenomenal, great, , ... what I have been looking for so much..... thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with this audience and if I could I would give it a million likes . God bless you!!!!!

[@thankdogwemadeit]

Thank you for this tutorial! This is absolutely brilliant! I have been searching for a method of doing one row jogless stripes and have never been able to figure out a way of doing it seamlessly. This technique is amazing!

[@pacrossett]

Patty! I wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up instead of just one! Thank you so much for this help. I am doing a striped sweater as we speak and now it will be decent…many thanks.

[@jodydcrawford5470]

That is amazing! I have just had a horrible time trying to disguise jogs and although I managed them 85% of the way, I ended up with some weird looking stitches! I wish I had seen this technique beforehand, but I know I’ll be coming back to it in future. Thanks Patty.

Patty, this works perfectly!!! Thank you so much for it!! However, I am still getting a small jog in the single row where it crosses the "end of row" point. Do you have any suggestion for that? Thank you!!!

[@juliehertel21]

This is brilliant! Thank you Patty. I am finishing up a 2nd sick, but already planning one-row stripe socks next. Always wanted to do that, but couldn't make a jogless join with one row before. Fabulous tutorial!

[@bobclark98122]

Query for you, Patty. I decided to cast on a Flax sweater [Tin Can Knits] and am going to put in the single row of colors. However, there are the purls in the shoulder where the new color comes in. Would this jog-less join with purls as well?

[@moniquerobinson9379]

[@IslandLady76]

[@francesb250]

@Patty. I couldn’t get this to work out for me. The join on the new color part was great. But I got a jog between where I slipped the stitches back, with old and new colors. Should I have done something differently? Thanks.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

Sounds like you didn't do a jogless 2 or more row join when you returned to the main color, as it says in the notes: This can be used when you can't use helix knitting, like a single row stripe in the middle of a solid color, or several single row stripes when you don't come back to that color. Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: • Jogless Join: 2 row stripe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4aZfpZ_Z69no9k

[@pdijulia]

Thanks@@PattyLyonsKnitting

[@dmh4399]

This is life changing!

[@FroukjeHenstra]

I’m sorry if this is a silly question. But if I am doing a pattern that is: Main colour 1 x rows A colour 2 B colour 3 C colour 2 D colour 4 E colour 2 Back to main colour 1 Would I treat rows ABD as a one colour stripe/bullseye, and rows CE and back to main colour as a two/multi-row stripe because I don’t have a tail?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

Is each color 1 row? If so, I would do it as helix knitting. If the pattern is one row: 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, then each strip is a ball of yarn. So you would have three balls of 2, one ball of 1, one balls of 3, and one ball of 4. That is a 6 row stripe pattern that repeats. Check out the link above for helix knitting. If you are coming to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC, I'm teaching it there: www.vogueknittinglive.com/nyc2025/begin

[@pamelakaiser3674]

Hi Patty, I’m currently knitting the “27 color snood”, and your one row jogless color stripe tutorial has made a big difference in these stripes. But I have a question. I’m knitting a stripe of one color, then a second stripe of a second color, then I go back to a number of rows of the main color. I’ve found that I need to follow the one row color change on that first row back to the main color as well as for the two accent color rows. Does that sound correct to you? Thank you so very much for all you’ve shared though the years.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

I'm not sure what you mean by the one row color change. To make a single round stripe, follow this video, to make a second single round strip, slip to a different place on your round (away from the start of the last single round stripe) and repeat these directions. THEN when you're ready to return to your main color, knit one round of that and then (as it says in the notes above), on your second round of the main color, you have to follow the rules for a 2 or more row stripe. As it says in the notes above: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: • Jogless Join: 2 row stripe (there's a link to that video above in the notes)

[@andreamiller6200]

Wowie wow wow - I just discovered this today 6/12/22 and feel like a whole new stripe world has opened up! Just wondering if this great technique has a role to play in any stranded knitting jog avoidance or in any intarsia knitting. Bookmarking this video. Game changing!

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

Not for fair isle. There's a different trick I use for that. I'll be demoing that in the Knit Stars & class!!

[@KnittingTemptations]

As I kept reading the comments, I found the answer to my question. Sorry for the bother!

[@elbee532]

Thank you for this awesome trick! Do I have to do anything different if I'm using bullseye stripe in ribbing? thanks again

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

No. You would work the single rounds stripe in rib. But if you are doing an entire project of single row stripes, use Helix knitting. This is just for inserting one or two single rounds.

[@janisleblanc906]

I want to try this on the sweater I’m knitting. But I have a question: do I have to cut the yarn after every single stripe? It looks like I always need a tail to do this. That will be a lot of ends to sew in 😊

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

This is a specific trick for inserting one or two stripes in a solid background. If your sweater is all single row stripes you would use Helix knitting. If it's many multi row stripes, then see my video on 2 row stripe.

[@hemaravikumar1478]

This is brilliant! Do you have anything similar for garter stitch single ridge stripes?

Hi Patty, thank you so much for this super helpful video! One question though: I am planning on knitting socks where (let's say) 1 row cc alternates with 3 rows mc. Do I have to cut the cc thread every time I change to mc? Or did I get that wrong? That would mean a lot of weaving in 😢 ...

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

This is for a single row stripe inside a solid color. For a stripe series like that I would use Helix. That’s another video. That would use 4 balls of yarn.

[@JimKnopf-42]

Hi Patty, I'm so sorry for not having thanked you for your quick reaction. Helix is what I had been fearing ... have to rethink the design 😂 Anyway - thank you for your super instructive videos!

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

@@JimKnopf-42 There is nothing to fear with Helix. It's super simple. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4GvqKl-m7OClbs

[@elainebos]

I did a trial swatch of this technique and the one row stripe looks really good at the joined stitch of the contrasting stripe.. However at the actual beginning of round, I still see a jog. I slipped 5 stitches of MC before starting the contrast one row stripe. What I am doing wrong?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

As I said in the notes to the video: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4aZfpZ_Z69no9k

[@elainebos]

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Oh, I”m sorry -I missed where you said to do do the jogless join when returning to the main color. I didn’t see that in the video.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

@@elainebos This is a video for a single row bullseye stripe, but remember, if you are returning to your original color, that is also a two or more row stripe. So you'll need to follow instructions for a two or more row stripe

[@KnittingTemptations]

Thanks!

[@satsumamoon]

Thanks so much. These are called bullseye stripes. It might help me , and others find it or distinguish it in future if you could pit it in the title. It was a minefield searching through so many other vids to find this one .

[@donnafisk2006]

[@judib1809]

This looks like a great technique! A Question for you....when you say you are "knitting a stitch Eastern"....do you just mean knitting a stitch through the back loop (ie tbl)??? Or did I hear you your words incorrectly? Thanks so much!

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

No, take another look at the video and pay attention to the direction I'm wrapping my yarn. All knitters put the needle in the hole (to not twist the stitch), but a Western knitter wraps the yarn UNDER the needle and an Eastern knitter wraps the yarn OVER.

[@judib1809]

@@PattyLyonsKnittingThanks for your prompt reply. So just to clarify, what you are referring to as Western - is more commonly known as English knitting style? And what you refer to as Eastern is generally known as Continental knitting style? I hope I have this correct. I have never before heard of the terms Western & Eastern for knitting styles. There are so many different styles of knitting all over the world, it's very intriguing.

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

@@judib1809 No not at all. English knitting means holding the yarn in your right hand. Continental knitting is holding the yarn in your left hand. These are knitting styles, nothing to do with knitting METHODS, how the stitch is constructed. This is a very important thing to understand in your knitting so you can control it, For more information on this you can learn more in Improve Your Knitting Video class - pattylyons.com/product/improve-your-knitting/ To learn more about how to CHANGE the direction you wrap your yarn or where you put your needle to do stitches differently, check out Patty's Knitting Bag of Tricks - pattylyons.com/product/knitting-bag-of-tricks/

[@hemaravikumar1478]

Would this technique work for fairisle?

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

Do you mean if you have one single round of a stripe in a different color in the middle of a fair isle pattern? It would work to join any single round of a color. This video is for a very specific thing - to create a SINGLE round stripe within a body of a solid color. If you are looking for other jogless techniques (stranded knitting, multi row stripes, multiple single row stripes /Helix) there are different videos. It's always best to look at the why of a technique - what is the issue and what is it solving?

PS from Candace Cohen: to clarify, I mean where the single row in the new color crosses the "end of row" point of the previous color as you are knitting your way to the beginning of the single row round. I hope that's clearer. Thank you again!

[@PattyLyonsKnitting]

If the new color is your main color and you are returning to it, then that is a MULTI row stripe issue. Like it says above: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4aZfpZ_Z69no9k
