Ladder back Jacquard - invisibly manage long floats in stranded knitting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- The ladder back jacquard method is used in Fair Isle colorwork knitting to turn a series of long floats into a “ladder” of interlocking stitches on the back side. This neatly secures the floats and gives the piece impressive elasticity. In this video, Alexis Winslow explains everything that you need to know to incorporate this technique into your next knitting project.

Thank you for making this technique so clear ! I have watched so many videos on this technique and they always left me confused and thinking it was a technique best left to the experts. As I am currently knitting a color work sweater I was able to incorporate this method and it is working great.
Oh oh ok so its like doing a doubleknit but only in strategic spots to achor down the floats, that makes so much more sense now ty!
Yes, that's exactly right!
Thank you, Alex. This was so clear and I like how you showed the markups on the pattern. ❤️
I'm so glad that you liked my video :) I try to keep my videos under 5 minutes, but this one was a little longer. I wrote the script as I was working on a project that uses the technique and wanted to include all the extras, even if it added more time to the video overall. I'm very glad that you found it to be useful!
Your video is very well done. You made it easy to understand exactly how and why to use the jacquard technique. Many thanks. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent - I never could figure this out before. Thanks.
Thanks for this clear and concise tutorial! I especially loved the bullet points on the side! Those made very clear what I need to do 🙂
Thank you for your comment :) I'm so glad that you found my video useful!
This is a super nice and easy to understand explanation. Thank you so much❤
You're very welcome! :)
Very nicely done. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow! That is epic! I never knew such a thing existed, and I've been knitting since 1963!! Hahaha! I have a pattern I wanted to do from Ficolana, and I read it through and thought .... well, I better not say what I thought! I was just going to give up and do my usual catching method, but realised I would be missing a valuable opportunity. Thanks for making it so clear! I'm actually looking forward to making the garment now! Hahaha! 🎉❤🧶
This comment honestly made my day! I'm so glad that my tutorial has motivated you to try out the ladder back jacquard technique. Happy knitting!
Woooooow! This was unbelievably clear and helpful! I cannot wait to incorporate this into my giant coat project 🙌🏿 Thank you so much 🙏🏿
You are so welcome! Good luck with your project :)
Genius! Will definitely use this next time I knit colourwork!
Wonderful to hear!
Great video! Very clear and concise. Feeling good abt conquering my first project with LBJ. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your project :)
FINALLY I learned something new in knitting. Thank you 😊 I've been knitting for almost 50 years, so this to me is so fun to learn. Being Norwegian i knit Norwegian style, so i am used to knit in the floats, but i think this looks better 👍🇧🇻 This I'll try 🥰
That's great to hear! This makes my day :)
It'll make a lot of my knitting days so much more joyful, thanks again 💓
I haven't really enjoyed colorwork because catching floats just didn't work for me, but I will definitely be giving it another try using this method. Thank you for this quick, uncomplicated tutorial!
That's great! I hope you enjoy it!
What a fabulous tutorial! Thank you for making it so clear!
You are so welcome!
This was clear and concise. It was easy to follow. I had problems with other tutorials because they were very long and left me confused. Thank you
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad that I could help. This is a format that I try to follow for all of my tutorials-short but comprehensive. I hope to see you back on my channel soon @pheonixhunter157 :)
So well explained! Thanks
Thanks for your comment-I'm so glad that you liked my video. I hope you'll give this technique a try :)
This was great - well explained and I could clearly see what you were explaining. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I hope that you have fun learning this wonderful technique :)
Brilliantly explained thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment :)
Thank you for this! You made this seem easy and logical. I am definitely seeking out your instructions for other new techniques. Take care
Fantastic! This makes me so happy to hear!
I am excited to get a pattern of yours to be able to practice this fantastic technique. I have known of it but this brilliant video is the purest explanation I have found and now I feel like I have the tools to try it. Another bonus: I am greatly appreciative that the music in the video was confined to just the beginning and the ending - the concepts you explain here are kept that much clearer not having to listen to them through background music. Subscribed!
Thanks for your excellent feedback :) I'm thrilled that you have subscribed and are looking forward to knitting one of my patterns. I that hope you will share picture of your project on Ravelry or Instagram.
@@AlexisWinslow Quick initial question: I am new to colorwork and not having used ladderback jacquard so far, I have had to go up 1-2 needle sizes to get fabric comparable to what I would have gotten on smaller needles with a single (non-stranded) yarn. With ladderback jacquard, will I still expect to have to go up in needle size or is it stretchy enough to anticipate my usual smaller needle size would suffice?
Great technique and great video. Great for stranded knitting (this is not fair isle). Will use this in the future.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!
What about the purl side? If it's not in the round.
@mrmcint for the purl side, the process is pretty much the same except you'll KNIT the ladder stitch instead of purling it. Also, be sure to move the working yarn to the wrong side (front on a purl row) to keep your strands from showing on the right side.
Thank you, Alexis!!
