Seamlessly Joining Different Colored Wool
When changing colors in knitting, you can achieve a smooth transition by simply introducing the new yarn at the start of a new stitch. The YouTube video reference, "How to Add a New Color to Your Knitting", explains this method.
Here’s how you do it:
- Start a knit stitch: Begin your knit stitch as usual, inserting your needle.
- Introduce the new yarn: Instead of using the old yarn to complete the stitch, pick up the new color.
- Wrap and complete: Use the new yarn to wrap around the needle and complete the stitch.
- Continue with the new color: Continue knitting with your new color as you normally would.
