Colour change clasped weft join
This video shows you a simple method for changing from one colour of yarn to a new one, with the change happening in exactly the correct spot. The clasped weft join is particularly helpful when you are working with a non-felting yarn such as a cotton, or superwash wool. The join is almost invisible and really easy to do.
The basic clasped weft join is demonstrated here: ua-cam.com/video/erNOgDuoZSg/v-deo.html
For an invisible join in a felt-able yarn, try splicing: ua-cam.com/video/8cCJIcYzUP0/v-deo.html

Confident Knitting: Russian Join
Переглядів 2,5 тис.2 роки тому

It's a great alternative to a felted join when you're working with superwash yarns or other fibres t...

Changing Direction Using a Short Row for Mitten Cuffs
Thank you for this; a real life saver as the pattern I have had no cast off edges and no explanation.
Thank you!! This is the tutorial I been looking for weeks!!
@@claudiainman5749 I’m so glad it was helpful!
I love this way of knitting in the round. No ladders! The only little thing is the marks it leaves but the way you do it by pulling the loop completely out and then punching the cable. The other thing is that you’re not having to deal with a twisted problem. (Mobius) 😊 I also use four stitches which keeps the ribbing in sequence.
Very easy to follow. Thank you!
Wow, this method is a game changer in the world of knitting. I never knew you could do intarsia in the round which is really helpful for multiple color ways when making mittens in the round. I already tried it out and it works great. So much for making this video and explaining it so well.
@@corinnenygren428 Thank you for your kind words. 👍🏻
Very helpful. I’m knitting basic eyelets and unfortunately for me, I dropped my stitches and since it was in the area of the eyelet, it was confusing to me as to how to pick up those stitches below that included YO as well as slip knit passover. I was hopping to do what I do when I’ve dropped knit stitches with my trusty crochet hook but ended up unraveling to my lifeline. Ugh, they are not kidding when they say knitting also teaches you to be mindful. Thanks so much for your video.❤
Thank you! That is a great tip!
On first View of the result all seemed clear, one row two colors knitted. It was a surprise to use Just one color in one row to make knitting easier and quicker. Thanks for showing.
Oh thanks so much! I always cheat and do that first row with regular needles and then transfer to circular. Of course then the row is off but I hide it. I’m going to follow your tips and try it properly! Wish me luck!!
@@Kattykit1 Good luck!!
Expert demonstration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Fabulous. Thank you.
Another trick I just tried out comes from the method to avoid ladders in magic loop. Where you knit he first stitch normally, put the needle into the second, and give a gentle tug on the working yarn. So many years of my knitting life hating dons, when I could have been doing this 😂 so glad I figured it out
Bravo, I think I can do it after this wonderful video. Thank you!
Can you show how to do it with two needles so it isn't so confusing. You have your hands and the needles all twisted up.
@@kathy7278 No I can’t.
Is there a video for the cast off in this method?
@@photoaddict555 I haven’t done one.
My hatred for dpns decreased a whole ton after watching and trying this 😅
Yay!! 🤣
Brilliant! Thank you
Thank you for this. I have not had a problem with laddering between knit stiches, but recently encountered it with the transition between purl stiches on a sock. So frustrating. No matter how tight I pulled in the transition between needles the laddering persisted. I will definitely try this technique next time!
This looks like such a great technique. I did read that traveling loop should not be used on small circumference knitting like socks and sleeves but in watching your technique it looks like it would work just fine. Am i missing something?
I’ve no idea why anyone would say not to use it on small circumferences. That’s literally all I use it for! 🤣 Go for it. 👍🏻
Cool!
Thanks for the tips! Is there a way to 'fix' this when you're already a bunch into your knitting for previous rows? And what about knitting k1, p1 and you need to start your new needle with a purl stitch?
Very clear and easy to understand. Thank!
Great video, thanks. I'm assuming that when you get to the "V" in the heart that you add a grey in the middle, and separate the red into 2 balls???? Otherwise, it's like 2 stranded knitting. Anyhow, I'm also knitting a heart motif on socks, so just trying to figure out how to do that "V". THANKS again.
Yes that’s correct. Add another ball of grey and you could strand the red behind. Or join another section of red. Either will work fine. 👍🏻
@@ACTechniques Perfect, thanks so much for your quick reply!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Love your video. Is there a way to take any chart and turn it into a slip mosaic knit pattern?
Pretty much! For fair isle charts, you can work one colour and slip the other colour stitches. And then work the second colour and slip the first colour stitches. It’s more time consuming than doing fair isle the normal way, but it does work. I hope that helps. 👍🏻
Just what I needed! Thank you, so much. ❤❤❤
Thanks for the explanation. I finally understand why it works ❤
Thank you for this. I just started my first "in the round" project and found after about 10cm that it has a twist - so had to pull it all back. Now I know how to check to avoid this again.
Hi i had a question, so you don't have to make little knots on all the loose ends? they won't come undone?
No, you definitely don’t need knots. 👍🏻
thank you it was very helpful
🙏
I like this tutorial, but you forgot to show how to join the 2 cast off edges. :( I needed that part.
Amazing!! Thank you so much. I loathe weaving ends in so this is fabulous.
I really like your videos. Very well explained, with a soothing voice. Very instructives and pleasant.
This is class. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial. I am saving this for future reference. :)
I knit loads and want my colourwork to have the extra edge, so this was a really succinct and useful video on this topic. Thank you! ❤I can get back to my project straight away. This video was fairly low down in the recommendation list but really good 😊
We also have videos on catching floats that you might find helpful. ☺️
I'm making dishcloths with heavy cotton. Do you have a suggestion for a join for that. I think its much to heavy and would leave a very obviouse lump
I’m afraid I have no expertise with cotton as I always knit with wool. I would think you’d need to split the plies and weave the ends in, in multiple directions to avoid a thick lump.
Would you recommend this cast on for top down socks?
This was so helpful and easy to follow - thank you!
Love the physical title cards!
This is a late comment, but THANK you! I really did need to know how to secure the French knot at the end.😊😊😊
This is brilliant! I’ve been stressed the whole time knitting a scarf that has increases every 6 rows. I’ve tried the tally, I downloaded knit companion, but nothing is for sure due to the fact that it’s very possible i forgot to tally! Thank you so much!
What yarn did you use? :)
I used a hand-dyed 4ply yarn from Old Maiden Aunt. She is no longer running her business I’m afraid.
Excellent video! Clear & concise. I’m making a note of this - so I can find it again! Thank you!
Very helpful, thank for the clear instruction.
I wish you’d show the color change with this method in action!
Finally a FULL tutorial that shows how to join in the round, thank you so much!!!
Great tutorial, you answered many of my concerns except one. When I’m using this technique for a knitting hat do I make the duplicate stitches extra loose due to the stretching when they wear it? Let me explain I’m making Christmas knitting hats and scarfs sets and wanted to add snowflakes and other designs but I was worrying what will happen to the duplicate stitch when the hats stretch.. any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much🤗
Just try to match the tension of the main hat fabric. So after a few stitches stretch it as you expect the hat to be stretched in wear. Your stitches don’t have to be extra stretchy - just as stretchy as the main fabric. I hope that helps!
