I'm confussed how this works, but I'm happy to find a solution, thanks for the easy to listen to tutorial, it was absolutely excellently clear, keep doing them,and now to knit an improved pair of leg warmers. 😊👍
Hi! Thanks to this tutorial video I learned this new technique. But I am wondering how to finish the stripes, once you reach the end of the spiral and want to continue in 1 color. Could you please tell?
Shelley Lewis It would work well as long as you are doing essentially 1x1 stripes with the navy as one stripe and changing through the others as the second stripe. You would see a jog where the other colours swapped over though. I hope that helps. 🙂
You can work multi-round stripe patterns helically, but you need to set it up differently. There will be a video coming about multi-round stripes in a few weeks’ time. :)
Eleonora Lazzarini Hi Eleonora! You just need to stop working with each colour at a suitable point in your work, and then knit over all stitches in your new colour. I hope that makes sense. 🙂
Can this be done somehow to not have a visible jog at the start and stop of the striped section? If not, please stop calling this jogless because I'm on video nine in a row claiming to be jogless but having that same ugly start and stop I'm trying to avoid.
Have you compared this to standard stripes? There is a jog at every single colour change with standard stripes. In the helical method the start and end is visible, but it can be disguised somewhat with ribbing beforehand / after. But there is no other way to introduce a second colour without a spot where the old and new sit next to each other. It is a fact of the knitted fabric.
Hi Trudy! You can either count each time one of your yarns passes the start of round marker (using a row counter or similar) or you can just read the number of stripes from the fabric. Any normal row counting method will work, you just need to do it when the yarn passes the marker. I hope that helps. :)
Thanks for the explanation. I finally understand why it works ❤
I’m surprised that it’s so easy! Thank you!

This is brilliant. How do you handle decreases at the end of the round?
I would like to do socks like this. One stripe of navy throughout with stripes of little balls of all different coloured scraps. How would this work?

This would work for any number of stripes?

Hello, thanks for this tutorial. If I want to go back to work with one color? Thanks

How do you count your rows?

JenACKnitwear of course! What a silly question! Totally forgot about the start of round marker! 🙄 🤣
Yes you got rid of the jog, but now you have rows of color that seemingly start and end in the weirdest places
