Learn the Basics of Fair Isle Knitting

[@vivienneclarke2421]

Of all the videos I've watched on fairisle knitting,your the only one who showed how to catch a float~! I didn't even know that was a thing so THANK YOU~!! You're also the only one who explained how important it is to have the yarn on the correct side of the needle when knitting magic loop(once you turn the needles before starting a new row!).... Little things like that make ALL the difference in the world for someone just learning to knit. I'm so glad you're back making videos~!!🧶🥢💛

Thank you I've been timid to do fair isle. But looks so easy

[@id9114]

Thank you!! Attempting my first colorwork project

[@flowerlass]

I love your videos. I have been knitting beginning and easy patterns for too long. Your videos are so encouraging that I am going to try some new techniques! Thanks!

[@rachelcunningham2498]

Thank you I was nervous to try colorwork but watching you do it gives me more confidence to try it!

[@cosmicpathways2027]

Great video...I have just started experimenting with Fair Isle knitting

[@helenjharris7608]

Charlotte very helpful. I did fair isle once before and my floats were very tight. Thank you I will try it with you tips. You craft room is coming along nicely. Be Blessed.

[@leeross1469]

Thank you for explaining everything so clearly!! You are a great teacher.

[@daynaholgate7264]

Thank you!!! I will try these tips with my knitted Houndstooth beanie Xxx

[@komisobaba]

You are so good. How simple you make it look.. Thank your for your time.

[@maureenjones7532]

Just bought this pattern . Hoping i can do it :-) Going on holiday to Shetland taking it with me .

[@onesweetlife2469]

That toggle idea with the Pom Pom is absolutely amazing!! So clever!

[@kryshathayer4442]

I'm just finishing up my first hat, knitting nemesis #1! #2 is colorwork and I'd love to combine the two. I love this pattern and it definitely looks doable for a knitting knoobie. Thank you for this video and your pattern!

[@theastewart6721]

Excellent video Charlotte! Your floats look awesome. So neat! I am currently working on a Fair Isle hat for one of my granddaughters. I use both hands. I knit Continental but since I learned English originally I use both hands to hold the yarn. It sure comes in handy and keeps my English technique fresh if I need it. Thanks for sharing all of your tips! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[@TheNervousKnitter]

Thank you Thea! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well... ❤

[@stewartdodsworth]

Thank you just starting my first colourwork shawl!

[@tonipalavis6361]

Wonderful video, easy to follow! I have always been intimidated with Fair Isle work...but after your video I am definitely going to try it. Thank you soooo much

[@sherriendres4657]

Very helpful. Like when you do close ups - very useful.

[@chrisJ754]

That was great. Do you have a video tutorial of how to knit in the round?

[@susanknower7527]

Perfect timing, I was about to start the first colorwork row of a cowl. Great info!

[@lorrainehall6724]

You took the fear out of fair Isle x

[@patriciapamponette7774]

Your hat pattern is awesome. I enjoyed the video.

[@sultanahaque8831]

After watching your video fair isle hat is not scary to me anymore.thanks😊😊😊 I am starting my first hat all ready half way😂

[@marycooper7955]

Thank you SO much for the clear & simple instructions. I am working on my first fair isle pattern. Needed to know how many stitches to float. You answered. Also I have terrible tangling. You addressed that too. It was getting very frustrating. And how to fix tight stitches. Hopefully, I can salvage the hat to giveaway. If not, I have definitely learned how to do it better next time. Thank you. I did subscribe.

[@kathytincler2446]

Thank you....this was so helpful. I haven't yet tried fair isle but I'm slowly getting up my nerve. What I also need to know is how to keep 2 balls from getting tangled & constantly switching them around....that would make me nuts! Thanx for sharing :D

[@francesmckinlay4493]

Excellent tutorial thank you so much

[@ellev8969]

Great tutorial! This really simplified the techniques!

[@mayolson2]

I am so glad I found your videos. Your method makes knitting simple Everything is clear

You are amazing instructor.. You have a new subscriber ..You deserves it 👌❤❤

[@janicetronick5880]

Thank you and very helpful.

[@doorengray1]

Would you please do a step by step video on Fair Isle knitting flat....A lot of us knit well with straight needles

[@nicolaking2704]

Great video Charlotte, thanks so much. I am going to have a go at my first fair isle hat and will use your pattern!

[@ChookandRooster]

Totally love fair isle style, trying to wrap my head around it being a beginner. Your video makes it look so simplistic, however with a longer float, longer than 5 stitches, do you still twist the yarn or do you break it off and re tie it ?

[@Yuffie13]

Thank you for this tutorial :) Another person's tutorial I watched was continental, so it was nice to find one for people who knit English. (One thing that puzzles me... what do you do with the ends? I know my machine-knit, store-bought fair isle sweater has knotted ends, but I've heard some people leave them loose if they're using really grippy wool.)

[@deedeebeads]

Lovely explanation so easy and thank you so much

[@francaperotti5934]

Hi Charlotte havent seen you on yt in ages. Thanks for this video im going to give it a go see how for i get before i have a break down.

[@anishaislam7130]

Hey! I love how you did this tutorial for English-style knitters :) I was wondering if I can still use this method when doing magic loop in the round. I want to make a stranded hat, but I only have 32" needles.

[@Suzicherie7777]

Very clear explanation! Thanks!

[@mybanditboxer]

Thank you. I always love your videos!

[@MikMaqPeek]

Loved how you explained the color changes!

[@susanhaney3667]

I'm not so nervous to try Fair Isle...you made it look so easy.

[@penelopeabbott6749]

How do I float my white yarn up several rows to start again?

[@maryfron3813]

If a pattern has one salvage stitch, is it just knitted once a row? If the salvage is on the purl side, I’m confused. Thanks.

[@coralthompson753]

Hi just purchase your Fair Isle knitting hat. I do not have the Fair isle chart. Does it comes with it please. ???

[@nancywillick5737]

Hey Hi Charlotte, was wondering what happened to your "ugly cardigan"? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@conniewatson4667]

I Like The Way You Do It,. Thank You ,.. It's well explain for me,... Thumbs Up,.. 👍😁☺️😊💕💖Happy Knitting,....

[@r44inspector44]

You make it look SO easy! TY! 💓

[@r44inspector44]

Speaking of Chiaogoo needles, have you tried the bamboo interchangables? I do have a set just like yours (LOVE THEM!) and I've been eyeballing the bamboo set.

[@karenallen7104]

Hi, love your videos - the one on magic loop saved my sanity after two days of struggling! I do have two questions a) where can I find this pattern on ravelry and you mention a bell icon if you want updates - I can't find it Thank you for your help, Karen

[@millieo.5325]

Nice! I love to crochet & my son asked me for a project which I know would look much better knit, so I've been looking at videos, and I like your explanation of things. Hopefully, I'll be able to get his project done by next year once I finish all of my crochet WIPS...😉 Thank you...😊

[@SuziQZ]

You do that perfectly 😊

[@coastalsweetheart]

thumbs up! my question though is, if the stitch is too loose, how do you tighten it up? I have a project where my floats are too loose, and its making my stitches slouchy.

[@TheNervousKnitter]

You could give it a tug from behind your work... So pulling the stitch to the back... ❤

[@lindamcneely]

I purchased you pattern from raverly and did not get the chart but in reading the pattern it says that there is a chart. can you help?

[@bitterkandy80]

Great video as always. Do you ever want to make a video on how to line your hat or knit a hat with ear flaps? Just some ideas.

[@kathybast4560]

Great video. Helpful tips.

[@michelleknits4u385]

What equipment are you using to shoot video?

[@Pluviophile218]

If you are a Continental knitter, you can use that method along with flicking and carry one color on the left hand and one on the right. This works really fast. Also, using 2 circulars makes it more efficient. Enjoy.

[@lindamcneely]

thanks for the video just ordered two of your hats.

[@brusterzpunky]

Very nice!!!

[@anneshirleyduncan]

Tysm ❤️

[@coralthompson753]

Hi ignore my last comment received your pattern with thanks

[@superspicyspinalfluid6190]

when i tried doing fair isle, the floats that i caught ended up showing

[@shannonmartin2279]

I think your hat is too small, I used to have that problem too. :)
