Very much appreciate you sharing this. I like to knit newborn hats and it’s nice to do little intarsia motifs on them and not have to worry about the baby’s head resting on a bulky back or side seam. ❤❤
Thank you! I've been so intimidated by Intarsia because my first attempts weren't... great. This is really helping me get through a top-down base-ball-jersy top I'm making for my neice!
This is so great! I'm knitting a sweater for my husband that has a section of intarsia motifs and I'm relieved that these 40 odd rows doesn't make it so i have to knit the whole thing flat! I feel my ordinary stranded color work come put so much nicer in the round 😁 really well explained!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m knitting the Weasley Sweater and I wanted to do it in the round, but was struggling to figure out how to knit the letter using Intarsia method (vs. duplicate stitch). This solves that issue! :) BTW, I have no trouble hearing you. Audio is just fine for me.
Lynette Bohanan , I’m also knitting a Weasely themed vest ( The Christmas Morning Vest, actually) and had the same thought! I’d rather do intarsia for the letter. More fun! This was very helpful.
Thank you so much for this, I am designing a hat in the round and this video has been so helpful! Did you slip purl wise or knit wise? It was a bit fast for me to see!
hi there thanks for sharing video. been knitting for years and intarsia also, but never in the round, never done any circular knitting yet as its always intimidated me but its something im about to spread my wings into. just a bit confused here though as i thought for in the round you just continously knit, Is intarsia knit in the round done different thenn as you purled also, sorry if it sounds a little silly but i am just slightly confused . so with intarsia knitting you knit one side then purl then next? thank you in advance for any help tips or techniques you can offer me, and your voice is lovely btw xx
Hi Soo, I'm not sure I understand your question, but what I think you are asking is that in the video, you work both the right side and the wrong side of the fabric as if it were still a flat piece, but the yarn over join creates the illusion of "in the round" but also allows you to insert an intarsia design in the middle of something like a sock or a mitten without a seam to sew later. Email me directly if you have a further question.
I know there is no one correct way to knit. I'm very interested in the continental style you used in the video. My grandmother taught me this way and it works well for stocking knit, but how do you do a rib stitch without your stitches getting twisted?
Because my default purl method make a stitch that sits with the back leg forward on the needle, I knit the stitch from right to left, and it doesn't come off the needle twisted. I'm used to it being this way so I don't even think of it. I do use a Norwegian style purl for lace knitting generally, but I prefer the Combination purl for everyday work.
There’s a volume switch somewhere around here. ……. Hmmm. No distracting background music either - goodness me some people just want to pick away at every little thing. 🙄
Thank you for this. I learned a lot! This is the first intarsia project I’m doing in the round. I love this technique! 🙏
This is brilliant! Especially the bit about keeping the purl needle a size smaller to keep gauge. You are a genius! Thank you!
I agree w Stephanie! great method & so appreciate your sharing the techniques, Julia!
Amazing!

I never thought of this! Thank you a million times over.
Nice clear description and illustration of a tricky technique. This is very helpful. Thanks!
You make it look so easy! Can't wait to start an Intarsia hat! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant explanation and so much easier than the loop method
Thank you for this,I am designing a sweater with intarsia in sleeves. Amazing!
I wish your video started with row 1 of the contrast color. I’m having a hard time figuring out this first row of cc 😏
it's the same process, try it and you'll see.
Since this video I think about the yarn shaking hand everytime I do intarsia ❤
I know this has nothing to do with the video.. but your voice is sooo calm... lol
i guess I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Terry Kyng I watch on Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
BRILLIANT & so well explained! TYTYTY (april panda socks by jurga suggested this link in her raverly explanation!)
Thanks so much, this is a very big help! I thought I knew what I was doing (until it all went desperately wrong). Ah well, it's still fun.
Brilliant! thank you this technique is so useful and the video instructions are very clear
Génial. Merci beaucoup.
Anne-Marie.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was a lifesaver!

My opus for this year is a weasley sweater for my bestie. Found this video trying to avoid fair aisle
This is an amazing video, thank you so much!
Why do you knit in the back loop of stitch?
I knit in the combination style, Dori, so my knit stitch sits in a way the requires me to knit the back leg so it won't twist.

Talked too soft. Looked like a good video but I could not hear it. Very frustrating
