- "Build Your Own Barnyard Skirt" Part 2, how to knit intarsia (color blocks) in the round, using the float for every other row. Typical tutorials demonstrate flat knitting (back and forth) but with tubular construction. This method is true in-the-round knitting with intarsia knitting using the float.
Pattern is available on Ravelry www.ravelry.co... and a kit is available from Dragonfly Fibers www.dragonflyf... . Sample is made with Dragonfly Fibers "Valkyrie" worsted yarn.
This is just visual and specific enough for me. Thanks.
This is so insanely helpful thank you so much for posting
This is such a good tutorial: thank you! You anticipated and thoroughly explained/demonstrated everything I need to know!
This is exactly the information I was looking for especially how to do the locking in stitch. Thank you. When I try this instead of guessing the length of float I will slip stitch over to the hanging contrast yarn and then after leaving one stitch amount for locking in either knit backwards or turn and purl back to the main colour. Slip the stitches I just knit and then continue with the main colour again. I think that will save fiddling with adjusting stitches.
That's exactly what I'm going to do too. Seems a bit less messy.
Yes, I understand what you are saying. Of course it will work that way, but it will take longer. Any way that works for you is great! as long as you are happy with the resulting right side of the knitting.
Best technique and best way it has been presented. Thank you!
I was so close to just not adding the colorful shapes to the beanie. 😅
this is the best intarsia technique i've come across thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I've had a colorwork idea for some time but didn't know how to execute it. After watching intarsia and stranded colorwork videos there isn't a lot of information that I found that would work for my idea..Thank you for posting this video. This is exactly what I needed to see for my project!
Thank you so much! The last project I did had these unnecessary floats 😅 Thanks to you, that won’t be happening anymore😊
Your instructions are incredibly clear and this technique is so useful. Thank you!
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!!
Omg you saved me from going insane! I’m making a pair of mittens with cat faces and didn’t know what to do with the black around the nose and eyes! My first time doing stranded colour work (most of the pattern is just 2 strands but got got in a mess trying to carry the black 3rd strand round in trapped floats, all for a few stitches. I can’t thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️
If it's just a tiny bit of black, I might suggest double stitch instead. But it is totally up to you! This is a good technique to have in your knitting knowldge box!
Wow, this makes so much more sense. Some how I figured out how to do intarsia in my own way because none of the videos made sense but this video was great and filled in the holes (pun intended) that were missing in my method. Thank you!
Brilliant! Thank you!
This is genius. ❤
Thank you so much.
So glad I discovered your video - saved me a lot of effort and bulky weave ins. Thank you
The endless weaving in of ends is exactly what lead me to figure this out in the first place!
Very good explanation, my hat turned out great! Thank you ☺️
You are so smart! I’m going to try using this technique to reinforce sock heels as I turn them. Wish me luck!
This is really a great technique! Thank you so much for sharing this. I wanted to make a beautiful cardigan from Marie Walling which involve some areas of Intarsia and this will definitely save my fears.
So helpful and clear. Thank you!
Thank you! This is amazing! So ingenious.
This is exactly what I was looking for to solve my problem with a pair of socks I am knitting. I will ask a question on ravelry.
I wanted to try knitt sweater in round with one color picture in the front so its a lot of help!
OWL MY GOD:
genius, indeed! ❤
Thanks for the tutorial. I found this interesting and informative.
Additional tip: pulling the stitches back, and pulling the working yarn through the stitch can also be done with a crochet hook. I'd rather do this than risk damaging or untwisting my yarn strand.
Yes, I always have a crochet hook in my knitting kit
This is so helpful! Thank you!!!! I was wondering how i could make a car top down sweater for my nephew but didn't want to carry yarn in the back if only using in the front. Great help!
BEST INFO EVER!
Thank You so much ❤️
Muchísimas gracias me sirvió mucho saludos
Could you just knit through the last stitch and the leftover yarn at the same time? You are looping the yarn through the extra yarn before knitting the new color, but it seems that knitting through both at the same time (K2tog) would work the same. So excited to see this! Thanks for sharing.
if I understand your question....Not exactly, because you don't want the last stitch of your 'sheep' to show through the first stitch of your background color. By pulling it through, it stays hidden in the WS. The RS will only show the background color.
Does this work only for small stitch counts? Like what if I have a big block of color?
excellent video! Do you think this method would word for intarsia with 27 stitches?
I don't see why not! Just catch your floats on the back as you normally would.
Question: Shouldn’t the background color strand be trapped somewhat sooner? I thought having too-long floats was a bad idea because of how easy it would be to get snagged and pulled.
Yes, excessively long floats can get snagged.... but the tragedy of too tight floats is MUCH MUCH worse.
You make it seem so easy but I knit to row 92 and just noticed my knit picture is puckered and clumped together 😭😩😭
Oh no! I think you may have your background yarn too tight across the sheep.
Why Intarsia, why not fair isle?
If there are floats isn't that fair isle knitting?
No. Faire Isle has very short color pops repeatedly, and typically only 2 colors per row. Intarsia is large splotches of a single color against a background color, often making an identifiable shape like a sheep, car, dinosaur, cat, etc. Often, the background color does not float across the back of the contrast splotch, but rather turns and works back. This normally requires working flat so that purls are used for this. But the background color can certainly float across the splotch and it's still Intarsia, not Faire Isle, due to the size and shape of the splotch.
😍😍😍
why you're knitting with the float when you can just knit with the actual yarn and leave the float as a float and do the locking stitch with the long float
i thik because then your worked coulour yarn ends on the "done" side. and next round you nedd that couolour, its not where you need it.
Probably to reduce bulk - if you left a contrasting float there, you'd end up with two layers of floats in addition to the actual knitted layer.
The float is the color you want on that row.... the color fo the sheep. If you knit with the actual yarn, when you come around again the working yarn is on the wrong side of the sheep. You only knit with the float on the even numbered rows. On odd numbered rows you knit in the typical fashion.
This is genius! Thank you so so much. ❤️
