Locking Floats

Locking the unused (floating) yarn in stranded knitting every other stitch creates a gorgeous back that almost appears woven. This tutorial video demonstrates locked floats when working the right side (or in the round) using two colors.
The project featured in this tutorial is the Cabaletta cowl. The pattern can be found here:

Just found this - very helpful! Thank you! Love the single movement method!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for this, I've been searching everywhere for a video tutorial on how to lock in my floats, I'm new to fair isle or color work, and this has helped out so much!
Thank you again! 🥰

You're very welcome!

I’m guessing If we knit flat, I assume the reverse side is handled equally elegantly, but is there anything specific to purling? I’m trying to picture it in my mind, and I feel I’d need to go in an opposite direction or something when throwing the float over, but I guess I should experiment. Just thought maybe you’d already had experience of it. Anyway, this video is excellent - thank you!
Edit: I see you have videos that address the reverse side. I’ll leave my question here so others will know to go look for another video.

[@KyleKunnecke]

Yes - as you found I made videos for the purl side stitches as well. Hope they are useful!

@@KyleKunnecke Thanks so much!

Is it possible to demo this using a worsted weight yarn to see better for we seniors? It is the perfect
Way but so few knitters use this why?

Hi Patty, I just did a series of videos using worsted weight yarn - check out my channel and you'll find them there - I think you will find them easier to see. :)
