    if we knit the first color back to continue up the work, then what should we do with the second color? @@, i mean the blue one.

    Thank you, I actually hadn’t worked it out, but have now. Much less work than constantly sewing in ends at the start/end of every 8 rows :)
    much thanks.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you and you’ve probably figured it out anyway, but what I do is pull it up every 4 or 6 rows, twist it with the other color and continue to do that with all the colors. If you cut them you will have lots of thread to weave in at the end. this way you won’t. I will do a video on this….thanks for your question.

    As I learn more morea about knitting and watch more videos of it, the more I understand. when I first started and I tried to make a two colored scarf, I thought I was doing something wrong but that’s what it does when adding a color. And I didn’t know how to do the stockinette at that time So I made a new one.

    When you’re doing 6-8 rows in each colour, and using 3 colours, if you don’t end off the old colour, and just trail it up to start again, that yarn is dangling loose for 12-18 rows before being used again … is there any way to weave this in as you knit, or is it best to actually end off the colour and start it again later?

    I used to knit in school when I was very young and these videos have brought it all flooding back BUT I was never able to add a second colour and now I can’t understand why because you make it look so easy! Thank you so much! I am going to start knitting again for the first time in 16 years or so but think I’ll make a few scarves first until I get back into the swing of things!

    Thank you for the …
    Thank you for the great videos! These have been very informative. Are there any videos or online resources to learn more about knitting with more than one color? I’ve made many a scarf in solid color, but I’ve decided to try my hand at adding in a small logo, only two colors, each row may switch between colors 2 or 3 times. I’ve managed to create the pattern just fine, but things don’t … Seem to be going particularly well.

    I’m not sure I understand. You say your gauge is right so what is too loose or tight? Give me some more information.

  20. jessecaXathey Says:

    i need help on knitting berets , either they are too loose or too tight .
    i checked my gauge and it was right , maybe it is just the patterns im using ?
    do you have any suggestions of patterns to use for this particular hat ?

    No, it would not be a problem. You would just do the same thing as when you added the red after the blue. Just pick up the blue and start knitting. Good luck with your knitting and please keep watching for new videos. I try to put one up at least once a week.

    At the end of the video when you added the red again..what if you did another couple of rows then decided to go back to the blue wouldn’t that become a problem..sorry im new at this…
