  • my only problem is, the loop that you used in the new colour stays on the needle? meaning that I need to drop a stitch to keep it even? it made my scarf look a little messy, are you doing something that I'm not?!

  • @yellowxeyedxwolf If you knit (or purl) the new yarn in like I did, when you come to the place where you have added the new yarn you will see 2 stitches instead of one, you just knit (or purl) those stitches together. You just need to treat it like one stitch.

  • Very, very helpful. Well illustrated and explained...especially for the noob knitters (like myself).

  • I'm so glad I could help you out.

  • When you changed colours and knitted the tail in, surely that then makes two stitches?

  • Yes it does but knit (or purl) both stitches together when you get to them.

  • Hi, does this also work when you do a normal knit and pearl method?

  • What an educational video in so many levels!!! THANK U for making this video!!!!!

  • Oh wow, that was a lot easier then I thought! Thanks!

  • Sorry the first few stitches are double (2 stitches), does it mean that I have to continue stitching showing 2 stitches as one?

  • This tutorial was just what i was looking for. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D

  • Thank you for posting this. It reallt helped. I am making a bunch of stripes scarves for Christmas gifts; they were turning out all lumnpy and bumpy. Your technique made them perfect.
