Loom Knit Avoiding Dashes Changing Colors

[@1962tami]

Brilliant, Laurie! I love how you made that long swatch with different examples, really drives the point home with changing colors on a knit row to avoid those dashes. That blanket is beautiful! I love how you put that teal in there to separate the colored blocks of different stitches to make them stand out from one another. What lovely stitch work! Thanks so much for doing this video ❤❤❤

Thank you! I've yet to see an explanation on how to avoid this. It drives me crazy on projects.

Excellent explanation! Do you have a tutorial for the green part of your swatch? What did you call it, double moss? It looks really pretty and would love to learn it!

[@lschue]

Yes the green part of the sample is Double Moss. if your flat knitting (with even number of pegs) like for a scarf or blanket, the 4 row repeat is )K1 P1 2) P1 K1 3)P1 K1, 4) K1 P1. If your doing it in the round like for a hat, it is done like this 1) K1 P1 2) K1 P1 3) P1 K1 4) P1 K1. I always use ewraps as my knits.

So basically, you knit a row with the old color, switch yarn color and then knit again in the new color? And continue on with the pattern you've been doing? Did i get that right?? 😬

[@lschue]

You can change colors after a purl row. Just remember that the row with the new color must be all knits.
