Ladderback Jacquard knitting tutorial for stranded knitting
Ladderback Jacquard is a great technique for catching long floats in stranded knitting so they don't show through on the other side. This tutorial will explain why I recommend using it, and how to work it both flat and in the round. I also share a technique that makes it easier for telling apart your ladderback jacquard stitches from your regular stitches, to help you avoid mixing them up and messing up your color chart!

Thanks for your clear explanations
wow what a dream!💫💫
we got so lucky renting this place!!
made so many variations with this pattern. i luv it so muchhh❤❤❤
This tutorial was a lifesaver! Most clearly-explained instructions I’ve seen specifically for the buttonhole side.
How did you make this? Is it intarsia or sticking in the seperate colours? I’m trying to learn how to knit and I really wanted to try something like this!
this is using stranded knitting with 3 colors per row (dark green, light green, and white) plus a little bit of duplicate stitch for embroidering in the red and blue flower afterwards :)
When picking up stitches do you still pick up one stitch on the point where the v-neck starts?
by “where the v-neck starts” do you mean the bottom of the v neck like at the front? if so then yes. if you mean where the front shoulder stitches meet the back of the neck, then no you could skip a stitch there
And are you blocking your cardigan before you make the border band?
@@MyYvonne45 personally i did not- but i did block my gauge swatches, for both the cardigan and the double-knitting gauge swatch (as many people have different tension in double knitting, and you want the row gauge to match or you want to pick up according to the row gauge ratio). i prefer to block once everything is complete!
There was a sweater designed from this tapestry back in the 1980s. It won a contest in a major knitting/craft magazine of the time. I believe Perry Ellis also put out a sweater at the time that had the unicorn from this tapestry on it, too. What’s old is new again.
It’s definitely overdue for a revamp. I’m thinking maybe the magazine was McCalls Needlework and Crafts.
i saw that one, someone posted it on reddit sometime last year! love that this tapestry has been inspiring fiber & textile fans for decades, it’s such a special piece! i was a big fan of it for many years before i ever picked up a knitting needle. personally i am really drawn to the density of all the flowers in the garden so the 80s one didn’t speak to me quite as much, its more spaced out with large flowers
@@starcrossedknits Yeah, I wasn’t excited by the 80s one. If I’m remembering correctly it also had a white background which just felt off somehow. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it in the end. :)
Is there a pattern for the bag? Also I love the way you pronounce your name. My cousin is the only other person I know who says it that way. ❤
i haven't released it yet but i want to sometime later this month or in july, i just got sidetracked with getting out some other patterns first! and aw i love that your cousin says it this way too, it seems like the less common pronunciation! i was named after my grandmother ♥
❤❤❤
Why do we choose a double knit band?
it looks like stockinette stitch, but lays flat (unlike stockinette, which curls). so it's a nice option when you don't want the look of a ribbed button band :) i think it adds a really nice and neat looking finished edge
Because it's pretty and gives the sweater a polished finish
I don't think I'll ever knit a Ranunculus sweater/top - I just don't think they are attractive. Also, I don't get the combining mohair with other yarn in a project, I'm just not going to do it.
agreed on the ranunculus 🫣 i like mohair held with other things but i probably use it less than a lot of other knitters
Stunning !
I keep my notions in old tins too! ❤
So gorgeous 🌿🤍 I’ve never knit with mohair but this is inspiring me to!
it gives this super delicate sheer halo effect, it's so pretty!
OBSESSED <3
So you guys spring isn't 30° C??? 😂😂😂
hahah well maybe just the last outfit with the necklace works for your climate! where i live spring temperatures jump around a lot, last night was 10º C and tomorrow is 30º!
the firsttt one!! omg
thank you!! that one’s my own design 🥹🤍
That cardigan is stunning! They all look so soft 😍
thank you so much!! can confirm extreme softness 😌
You did the tied and true top with mohair?
yes it’s a single strand of mohair on 4.5mm needles, that’s what makes it a little sheer!
I’m with you on the requested gift knits. I used to do them. That stopped when I realized how much I hated the process of knitting for someone else when I have a TBK list a mile long full of projects that I want to knit for myself. I mean to hate yourself for saying yes at every other stitch is wild! But the lesson learned had staying power. I even had to put my foot down with a boss who tried to gaslight me into knitting her a replica of a scarf that took me forever to knit in fingering weight yarn. 🤨 It’s the feeling entitled to other people’s hard work and precious time for me! Forget your money! Chiiilllleeee!
right?? i feel like it was always the random coworkers demanding stuff too hahah like as if i would ever expect them to spend HOURS of their personal free time on me?!
I found this very clear. I was especially looking for the buttonholes part. That's well explained. Thank you
so happy it could help!!
I like cotton socks. Finding yarn to do that is hard, so I just buy my socks.
Amazing tutorial! You have skills! Thank you for this video😊
Aw thanks so much, so happy if it could help!
omg a very nice video, very detailed! gave me inspiration to pick up my needles again
In order to use up my stash I picked up crochet! Much easier for me to use with smaller projects, gifts, and home decor rather than trying to create a large garment
that's a really good idea!! i do think home decor seems like a good option for some of the random colors i have that probably wouldn't fit into the rest of my wardrobe!
This tutorial was a lifesaver. Thank you for keeping this accessible to everyone instead of just people who purchased the pattern :)
of course! i'm so glad it was helpful!!
These are so gorgeous!
Are these all yours/original?
yes these are all my own designs that i knit myself! 💗
All I can think about is how much money that is, especially all of that silk. Also made me realize I’ve never seen pure silk yarn before
I'm painting my room tomorrow. yours look great.
Fantastic video!
Thank you for this video. What I don't understand is how you pick up stitches around the entire band from one bottom edge all the way around the neck to the other bottom edge all at one time. Would you not need a very long cable on your needles. I have yet to see a tutorial where they have shown the process of picking up around the entire neck so I'm having trouble picturing how it is done. Your tutorial is the best I have seen so far but I wish it had shown an entire garment with all of the stitches picked up.
Yes you do need a long cable! I would use a 40" (100cm) cable. If you don't have a cable long enough, you can also pick it up across multiple needles, like when one cable length runs out then just switch to the next needle, though that does need you to have multiple circular needles that are close in needle size to each other. I hear you though, sorry I wasn't able to include that in this tutorial!
I love ittt❤
This is so DREAMY I’m obsessed
def a labor of love!! ❤️❤️
this is beautiful !!!
thank you so much!! excited to see a little piece of this vision coming to life!
THANK YOU!!!
You can also double up on the yarn for a thicker yarn.
good point!! I don’t quite have enough of most of the fingering yarn to get a garment out of it doubled up, but i’ve made some cute things holding it with mohair so far to bulk it out a little 🥰
where do you get your coned yarn?
my friend who gave me the machine also gave me all the coned yarn with it so i'm not sure where she bought it, but the brand is Tamm Perle and it's mercerized cotton! seems like if you google there are some sites that sell it online!
It's ok to have sensory issues. It feels like you've had to defend your sensory challenges a lot in your life. Im sorry if you've been unsupported in your needs.😢
Obsessed with the wrap cardigan!
So well explained! Thank you!
this is a great tutorial!! i have never heard of this before but it seems like it will be extremely helpful, ive been wanting to try some colourwork for a while now! thank you for making this, i love your videos! 🤍
so happy if this inspires some other people to try this technique out!!
This is so helpful, Tamara! Thanks for your clear instructions.
Aw thanks so much Jess!! Just trying to spread the word about this technique I love!
I looove your tutorials
🥹
I am knitting my first double knitting button band and I'm so glad I found your tutorial! It is so easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques.
So happy that it helped!! Hope you love your new button band 🥰
I love knitting socks. But I also do things like dishcloths and facecloths, placemats, around the house accessories as my mindless knits sometimes.
honestly more home decor and accessories is such a good idea for those filler projects!!!
This is to real 😭
