Jogless Jog on Purl Side

When you work a circular project with the purl side facing (or knit for that matter), you are actually working a spiral, where the last stitch of the round is never side by side with the first stitch you had at the beginning to the round. That appears as what we call a JOG, very evident when you change colors, like on a striped hat or sock for example. To avoid the Jog, knitters came up with several ways to disguise it, mostly on the knit side of the fabric. But we, Portuguese Knitters, like to work inside out, or, with the PURL side facing us. So, in this video, lets learn
how to avoid the jog on the purl side!

Thank you for all the great lessons you do on Portuguese knitting. This one is really clear. I usually knit English style - flicking, but was getting some pain in my hands and fingers, but not with Portuguese style. Really helpful to see techniques like this one so I can add to my skill set with this style.

Thank you, Andrea!

You are most welcome! I hope this helps

Thank you

Most welcome!

[@mariajoseandrade9378]

Que maravilha! Nunca tinha visto esta técnica, nem noutros estilos de tricotar. Tão simples e eficaz. Obrigadaaaaaa!

[@AndreaWongKnits]

Que bom que você gostou!

This is exactly what I needed. I tried applying traditional knitting techniques for working stripes, but they didn't work for portuguese knitting on the purl side. Thank you so much for this video.

[@AndreaWongKnits]

Great!!! So glad it will be of use to you!

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Thank you!

[@AndreaWongKnits]

You are most welcome. Is that clear?

[@darlenefarmer5921]

@@AndreaWongKnits It's clear watching...let me see if I can put it into practice!

[@kindergeek]

Andrea, Can you show how to eliminate a jog when doing a fair isle type of pattern on the non-public side? I am doing a hat with a charted pattern and the first or last stitch sometimes are the same color, sometimes different colors, sometimes a new color. Is it even possible to use your jogless technique in some way?

[@AndreaWongKnits]

Yes, it is possible unless the colors and patterns change every few rows. Try to use what I show. It gets harder if you don’t have plain rounds in between color change

[@kindergeek]

Yes that’s exactly the problem. Your easy technique works with some sections of my complicated projects and not with others. I will persevere!

[@45salf]

Are you losing a stitch when you slsk?

[@AndreaWongKnits]

No, because I work the first stitch with double yarn and that is like increasing one stitch at the beginning. Remember: I had a loop o. Green and one in purple

@@AndreaWongKnits Thanks, I rewatched more attentively. Makes perfect sense.
