This is the a-ha moment I was looking for! Thank you! This is the possibly the most professional, clear, and thorough instructional video I have ever seen. Looking forward to watching more!
Awesome, thank you! 🧶
I didn't realize you had so many videos. Viewers should binge-watch them!
Yes they should 😀
@@SuzanneBryanI am!
Thank you so much for your tireless teaching! It helps me expand my comfort zone.
This is a genius solution. Thank you Suzanne!
You are brilliant and a gift to knitters ♥️♥️ thank you
Dear Ms Bryan, you kinda saved my life! I was fiddling for 2 months without getting clear. Thank you so much for this clear and easy instruction.
Greetings from Germany, Simone
So clever! Thank you for the clear demonstration and explanation.
My pleasure, Ruth! ❤️
This was very helpful!! Thank you so much for posting this
Glad it was helpful!
This I such a helpful tutorial! I need to do it to get it into my head! Thank you so much.
Thank you, Rich!
Very clear instruction! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow you have such patience! I haven't tried this technique yet but am desperate to try it.
Thank you so so much for sharing your expertise x
You are so welcome, Mike, I appreciate the feedback!
Aww...Suzanne! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I left a rather lengthy comment in your Basic Instarsia video, then I found this one!!! Thank you soooooooo much for your easily understood tutorials! I agree with you regarding the yarn bobbins and butterflies. It's definitely much easier to use smaller lengths rolled into loose, small center-pull balls. I use a 3/8" dowel rod about 12-15" long to wind them (my makeshift nostepinne)!!! I will certainly be using this technique on the Christmas Stocking order for my Vintage Christmas Stocking, that I am working on next!
Happy, Happy knitting!!!

Wonderful Pamela J Watson! Happy Knitting.
This is extremely helpful thank you! I have been tasked with making some Argyle socks and trying to figure how it would work was making my brain hurt but it all makes sense now.
I totally understand this! I always knit in the round using Magic Loop, so this demo is really logical to me. Thank you so much for the great demonstration. I just subscribed to your channel. :-)
Thank you Marnie Grosz! Happy knitting.

Love your channel💞
Thank you so much!!
I'm in the middle of a huge intarsia sweater and so far, I have made it work with cutting the colorful strands after each row. I will have to weave them all in later and possibly sew a thin fabric over them with a very loose zigzag, and see how that turns out... it will most likely loose some of the elasticity but then again it is a loose fitting sweatshirt, so it doesn't matter.
Will try this method next time!
Sounds great, please let me know how it goes! 😊
Thank you for making this! I have been knitting 'faux' intarsia in the round because I didn't know how. When I reached the contrast piece with a strand in the wrong end, I'd pull out the amount of yarn I thought I'd need from the link, and then continue knitting on the right side - tightening the stitches after or pulling out more yarn from the link. If that makes sense. I will surely try this the next time :)
It does make sense. i think you will like this method better.
Watching for the 3rd time. I'm working on 8 Christmas stockings for my niece's grandchildren (that's why I'm doing it in April) and I've made so many over the years that I just do stranded work without a design in mind beforehand, and have fallen into some really cute designs, but have really wanted to put a big something-or-other in thd center portion, requiring intarsia. My guardian angel whispered that putting a life line in might be a good idea since I didn't bother to swatch the technique, and boy was she right! My mother and her sisters used to work intarsia in the round but they knitted the insert then knitted back from right to left and slipped stitches back to the main color. They used reeeeaaly long dps. There were no circ then. (So nothing is new, this was in the early 1950's) Can't remember exactly how this worked, but does it sound feasible to you? Intarsia worked flat is a pain for me and my mind got as tangled as my yarn working in the round. I'm determined now to produce one stocking using this technique with tension I'm pleased with but stranded is starting to look a lot less boring. Just ripped back and I' m staring at my project . Just staring, not knitting.
Work on a swatch instead of your stocking. It helps a lot to know that the mistakes are no big deal on the swatch. Then try again, and again. Set it down for a day if you still do not get it, and then try again. The light will come on.
too fiddly for me, I would be tossing it against a wall halfway through a row. But I see the skill of being able to do this.
I can visualize it being tossed, made me laugh. Everything gets easier with practice. remember when you first learned to drive a car? Now it is second nature. Happy knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan This tutorial is so good , but can you please do it with 1 round needle... I'm really confused 🦧🦧 please!!!🤗🤗🤗
I’m making some socks with this technique. My brain is melting. I hope this video helps 😩
Hello dear Suzanne☺ Again a wonderful demonstration, thank you!! The intarsia work is really special. Norwegian or Fair Isle is much more "clearer" so to say. Especially the hundreds of strands with the Fair Isle knitting😆😯😬 ... to sew them invisible is not amusing😔 I try to weave it in but there are so many changes of color.... Your video will be very helpful for other colourwork knitting, too. Have a good time, all the best for you and all you love, heartly GittaLloreley from Germany🍀😇😇🍀🌷🌷🌈💞
Thank you! I have a video on my todo list about avoiding weaving in the ends for Fair Isle. You will really like it. Happy knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan Oh thank you once more, dear Suzanne! Til soon here! 😇😇
Thanks for this video. I'm going to have to watch this several times because I can't seem to wrap my head around doing this using only one motif...which is what I'll be doing.
You can do it! Just make a swatch first and give it a try. You can even use the little sample that I show in the video for your swatch. Let me know how it works for you.
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks! I've done quite a few flat intarsia pieces... But my brain doesn't seem to want to with this one. I'll try it!
@@SuzanneBryan Still trying to figure this out. I'm using 3 colors. Does this work with more than one color? Here is the pattern, but I am doing the Pokemon ball with red and white. The directions are very slim on how to do the color work and most people have just done Swiss darning. I don't want to do that. :) I'll try it again this afternoon.

😀
@@SuzanneBryan Well, I'm now watching your jacquard video and think this might work better for me. I'm using 3 colors instead of just the 2 in the pattern...black, red, and white. Used Stitch Fiddle to try and figure out where to put my jacquard catches. We'll see. Thanks again for your videos!
I'm trying to make a Skyrim jersey for my brother. I hope this video helps me because I have until April to finish it.
That may sound like plenty of time, but not for someone doing online school.
You can do it. 🧶
Amazing! This is going to be fun, but I'm also really glad that most of my intarsia is basically just vertical stripes until the arrow points at the end (hopefully I'll have this down before I get to that). Would you recommend doing my increases one or more stitches in from the edge since the intarsia is already fiddly?
yes, work the increases at least 1 stitch away from the edge. I can't wait to see your work! Happy knitting.
Hello. Thank you so much for this simple instruction to Intarsia in the Round. It make sence. I've been trying to figure out the method myself before I found your video (I tried to turn my work with German Short Rows, but it look really bad). However I still find it a bit difficult to change colour when you also have to turn your work around from front to the back. Do your turn your work around at the same place every time or after a round where the colour changes?
I love this video! It makes so much sense. One question though, your working yarns aren’t connected to balls of yarn, does this still work without cutting by keeping the working yarns connected to different balls of yarn? Thank you so much for the clear video :)
Yes it does! Be sure to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, happy knitting.
Very good video,! I had problems while knitting the heel in different color on my socks . I had to cut the yarn a few times. Argh! Can I work the intarsia in the round for the heels he same way? Thanks for all these videos!
Work a little swatch and give it a try. I do believe it will work. Happy knitting.
Great video: so what is the advantage of doing this in the round as vs flat? Thinking if trying this
Usually Intarsia is worked flat. The majority of the time in fact. But, once in awhile you want to put a motif on something knit in the round. Like a sock or hat. that's when this becomes handy. Another way to conquer it is with ladder back jacquard - th-cam.com/video/iLtuGY_M-ds/w-d-xo.html
Omigosh, I think I have been looking for this video without knowing it! Is this the technique that was in an article by Rick Mondragon for “patchwork intarsia” worked flat, and then extended to use in the round by a couple of others, including Anne Berk?
Yes, Sarah, in fact I first came across this in Pricilla Gibson-Roberts book called Simple Socks Plain and Fancy published in 2004. Others may have mentioned this earlier, but she is one of my heroes and a very interesting individual. Since then others including, Rick and Anne have described this technique.
Could I persuade you to do an intarsia in the round video using DPNs? All those cords and yarn ends make it very difficult for me to follow, even though they are different colors.
I will add that to my video todo list. Thank you!
I agree, it is a bit hard to “edit out” the cords. A hat or cowl size circumference on a single circular needle (no magic loop) might work too. Donna Druchunas has a video showing what I think is the same technique, by the way. She shows a single motif. Sometimes I find if I watch two demonstrations by different people it will click for me.
th-cam.com/video/7gW9fXgtRBA/w-d-xo.html
Wow, super helpful! I'm attempting to write a pattern that includes intarsia in the round and was wondering how I would write the instructions for that... any pointers? Also, how do you keep track of which round you are on? Thanks for the awesome video :D
You can chart it out. Then write the directions from the chart. That is the easiest way for me. Happy Knitting.
@@SuzanneBryan I'll give that a try, thanks!
Thanks for this. I’m eager to give it a try. Are you using two sets of circular needles in the video?
Yes I am!
My brain is working against me. I’m going to make a practice piece and follow your directions.
You can do it, Suzanne! 😊
This is great but I was wondering if there is an alternative to turning and purling?
Not really. I spent about 3 weeks one time, years ago, trying to figure out a way to completely do it in the round. If you figure it out, let me know. Happy knitting.
Susan, this was great and I am ready to start my project. Just one question for this sweater: Do I make my turning point at the edge of the motif and ignore where the actual start of my round is, or is it better to use a seamless join and turn at the actual round? Thanks again!!
Yes, you can do that, having a moving bor marker so to speak, or you can turn at the bor marker, which will require one more strand of yarn.
I am missing something. In the video the main colour yarn is coming off the left side of the motif. I am only putting one motif in my knitting. On the first round I knit up to the start of the motif, link yarns then knit the motif. My main colour yarn is now at the RIGHT side of the motif. At this point I can create a loop turn and start purling but if my motif is an even number of rows I always end up with an extra row on the right side of the motif. If it is an odd number of rows I end up on a purl round. How does the main colour end up on the left of the motif when you start.
For a single motif, you will need three strands of yarn. One for the main color on the right of the motif, the motif color and then another main color on the left of the motif. I hope this answers your question.
Are the double height stitches (to to right of the blue) caused by the turn? Can this be eliminated?
I really wish this video was made with only one diamond motif. For the sake of learning it became very confusing, where the start of turning and reversing back, and when you actually finished a row/round. I had to go access other videos for it to be clear.
Is there any way to avoid the occasional stretched stitches when doing this?
Just being aware, watching yourself knit, figuring out what causes the stretch, etc. Happy knitting.
Amazing videos and I love that they aren't blurry. I'm making some argyle socks and the chart is inc and decrease of the argile every 2 rows. I'm not quite sure when to slip or when to work the st at the end of a row. I keep trying to watch the video over and over, but I'm not quite getting when to slip the st and work it at the other end, or when to work it, then slip it. :/ I completely understand the loops though so I think that is the point of this video. Is there another which focuses more on the argyle portion that you might have available? I'm working on a pair of socks for my husband who wants nearly knee high socks. To achieve this I'll have to do increases to accommodate his leg and calf. So I've taken the diamonds off the back of the leg and only have the ones on the instep and chins. It's a bit confusing trying to keep the loops going and knowing how to do the end sts when you turn whether to slip or work at the other end in diamond color. Any advise? I wish I could post pics on here of what I've got. If you make another video on the argyle work specific for the increases and the decreases I'm definitely watching! I know this shows one of the increase of the argyle, and a few more of the decreases. Maybe I should take a class lol
Many times, Argyle socks are worked flat and then seamed, as intarsia is less confusing when worked flat. Swatches help. Swatch in the round with your increases and also try swatching flat. I have other intarsia videos - just Google (or whatever search engine you use) Suzanne Bryan Intarsia.
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan thank you! Yes I’ve watched the intarsia vids. I think my issue is the argyle in this case in the round. I’m not quite figuring out when to slip it or when to work it. It increases or decreases every 2 rows.
Just keep trying and practicing. No one is perfect the first time, or even the second. Intarsia in the round is very different. You will get it.
This video is explaining what to do after you’ve already had several rows of intarsia already. I’m very confused on how to start the color work and link it up, since there won’t be anything on the other side besides the new color now :-/
You have to add another strand to the left of the first color stitch, rather than stranding across with the previous color. Here is a video on Intarsia basics and how to get started. - th-cam.com/video/gz-itGT2X3w/w-d-xo.html
Hi, if you're only using one small section of intarsia, (example, one vertical stripe) do you need 3 strands? (1 stripe color, 2 main colors) or can you loop back and forth using the 2 strands? Thanks!
Two stands should be fine.
@@SuzanneBryan thanks so much!
I like your circular knitting needles what brand is it?🙏🏻
These are Hiya Hiya sharps.
Knitting with Suzanne Bryan 👍thanks
Hi Suzanne ,,, I love your knitting help me a lot ,,, but I need your help if I need to knit in intarsia method with letter around like five letters “ LULU” how Many intarsia section we need ?
I m very thankful for you
I learned many techniques from you
You will need one strand of yarn for each section. So one for each of the letters 0 L U L U and one in between each of the letters. So for this you would need 9 total strands.
I just keep getting stuck on where to increase 😢 and how to start with one stitch and im only doing the design on one side. The stupid thing is I've done this successfully before but for some reason I can't figure it out this time 😔
Suzanne, I still don't get it. How many balls of yarn are using? 2 on each side or 2 for both sides? It's not clear for me. Could you please comment? Thank you!
one for each color section. In this swatch that would be 3, two white and one blue.
Suzanne in this fashion of knitting do you have two spools of yarn for each color?
I use a seperate strand for each color section. So for this sample, there is one blue yarn and two white yarns.
I seem to see two blue sections. I must be missing something.
@@notanyoneinparticular1173 I'm pretty certain that she misspoke, there are 2 blue and 2 white yarns.
How many strands do you have in work? 2 or 4?
For this swatch, there are 4 strands. One for each color section.
Hi Suzanne. Thank you for a good explaniation of this tecnique. However... you have short strands in your example... What about in 'real-time', when using several skeins, knitting a sweather?? Then you're able to 'pull through' the whole skein? Or is there always just a loop (pulling the yarn/thread back again) and no 'pulling the whole skein/thread' through? Hope I make myself clear and understandable 🙂 Best from Gry, Norway
You will need a loop big enough to pull the skein through. It will only require this maneuver once per round, not for every skein.
Thank you for reply. I have to make a test myself 😅 Thinking of knitting a sweater with big bold letters on the chest…
I'd rather eat my needles, or is it my noodles? But it may hurt my lips, or is it my loops?
I almost spit my coffee out laughing out loud at this. You are so funny! I dare you to try this and see how easy it really is. I challenge you!
@@SuzanneBryan Glad you laughed. I did too. First we do the yoke sweater, then I will try intarsia flat and then in the round.
I love this plan.
Vlcky could you pick me up some.
@@wlw248 wo is Vicki? Not me... pick up some? I didn't understand your message.
Thank you so much, Suzanne! Very helpful! What about the BRIOCHE INTARSIA IN THE ROUND? Have you ever tried? I have this idea and I was looking for a designer who used this technique. I don't have much experience with brioche yet and my experiments have failed, until now...
I don't see any idea why Brioche intarsia in the round would not work. Give it a try on a swatch. I will add this to my todo list. 🧶
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks Suzanne, I'll try again, but I'm also looking forward to your tutorial with curiosity.
Bye🤗🤗🤗
🧶
@@SuzanneBryan very hard, Suzanne. I'm trying again. It means work in the round, working flat brioche technique, plus difficult of intarsia🤪🤪🤪
🧶
Note to self: 4:18 - 5:34 & 8:43 - 9:57
Thanks for watching Nomadine! 😊
@@SuzanneBryan It was very helpful, thank you :)
Is there an advantage for working Intarsia in the round?
I
Sometimes you might want to do it in the round, like on a hat or sock or cuff of a sweater, or a sweater knit in the round.
goodness you make it look so easy🥲my colorwork needs work!!😊
You can do it! Happy Holidays.
Subtitulos
My main thoughts--your voice is reassuringly grandma-ish and fair isle it a lot, lot easier.
Lol! happy to help!
Oh God, I'm not sure about this
You can do this, Robbie! 😉
I just don't think you're explaining this very well
I am sorry. I will add this to my video redo list. Thanks for the feedback.
