Thank you. If you were to alternate every few rounds - not just one - how could one use this technique?
@thechillydog4 жыл бұрын
Great question! If you want wider stripes, you need to use one ball of yarn for each round of the stripe. So if my stripes had been 2 rnds of blue and 1 rnd of white I would need to use 2 balls of blue yarn and 1 of white. However, as the stripes get thicker, they also become less horizontal and gradually start slanting like the stripes on a candy cane.

Excelent!Wonder,if is a similar method for two rounds stripes?
@thechillydog Жыл бұрын
Sort of. The trick is that you need a yarn ball/cake for each round of each color. So if I were knitting 2 rounds of blue and 1 round of white I would need 2 balls of blue yarn and 1 ow white yarn.

@thechillydog2 жыл бұрын
Yes. You can certainly use magic loop for this (or 2 circular needles, 4-5 dpns, 3 flexible dpns, or even a single short circular needle). It works no matter what type of needles you prefer for small circumference knitting.

Can you use this same process for 2x2 helical stripes?
@thechillydog2 жыл бұрын
Yes and no. Yes, you can use basically the same process, but instead of using 2 yarn sources (1 blue, 1 white) you would need 4. There's 1 ball of yarn for each round of the stripe. So if a stripe is 3 rounds wide you would use 3 seperate balls of yarn in the same color. And with wider stripes, the stripes will start to noticeably slant like a candy cane.
@atrinka13 жыл бұрын
This technique only works with two circular or double-pointed needles, no? Because you don't want to slip stitches in your front pattern. I'm knitting a sock with two different yarns and a pattern on the instep and stockinette on the sole and was confused at first. Thanks!
@thechillydog3 жыл бұрын
The style of needles you're using should matter, but you need to pay attention to where the patterned instep stitches and striped sole stitches are located. You have a couple options when you've slipped so many stitches that you reach the instep. First, technically you can slip stitches across the instep, but it means you really need to keep track of where you are in the design because you'll be working one rnd with one color and one rnd with the other color. (Not for the faint of heart.) The second option is easier. Instead of trying to work a nearly complete rnd, think of it as working nearly half a round. Just concentrate on the stripes at the bottom of the foot and reposition the transitional spot. It is likeley going to involve slipping some unworked stitches, but you're less likely to mess up the pretty instep design.

Thank you for explaining so clearly how to alternate skeins. I'm currently knitting my first sweater alternating skeins but I'n not sure how you cast off when using this technique. Maybe you can explain please.
@thechillydog4 жыл бұрын
I think the simplest solution would be to finish a stripe in one color, cut/break that yarn and weave in the tail (or wait to weave in until your bind off is complete), then work your preferred bind off in the second color.

Hmm... I hadn't thought about that. Generally when I'm working cables or lace I wouldn't choose to also knit in alternating color stripes because it could take attention away from the stitch work. But sometimes mixing techniques can create interesting effects. I'll add it to my list of topic ideas.

Is it possible to use more than two colours?
@thechillydog4 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is. For the best results, I recommend starting all the colors in the same round of knitting, spaced evenly apart. So if you're using 4 colors, you would start each new color 1/4 rnd apart. Then you'd knit in Yarn A to 2-3 sts before Yarn B, slip those sts (purlwise), knit in Yarn B to a couple sts before Yarn C, slip those sts, knit in Yarn C to a couple sts before Yarn D... and so on.

@thechillydog4 жыл бұрын
Eventually yes, you end up doing a full round of sts, just not all at once like we normally do. You stop a few sts short of the round then work the next color. When you go back to the first color, you start by finishing what could be considered the last few sts of the previous rnd. It's a slightly different way of thinking of things than what we're used to in knitting.
