To join yarn and change colors in knitting, begin knitting with a new color yarn while tacking down the old color with a half twist around the knitting needle. Prevent one loose strand of the old color when knitting a garment by using advice from an experienced knitter in this free video on knitting.

  • After searching soooo many videos, finally one that teaches you how to carry the main color with the new color. Thanks for the video!!

  • half twist....?

  • hate the way she says "white"...

  • @xVani11a

    the /hw/ phoneme (vs. the /w/ phoneme) is the original pronunciation.

    and many people pronounce the /hw/ sound -- it's much more common than you may think. keep an eye out for it and you'll notice it.

    (google search "phonological history of wh" for more info.)

    also, i find that i hear it from intellectual people more often. i don't know if it's just me.

  • OMG! I'm a beginner trying to teach myself how to knit and this has been the best video I've seen so far about how to change colors. Other methods I found online required cutting off string, or making a mess on the 'back side'. This one is just what i was looking for! Thanks for the great video!!! :D

  • I.LOVE.KNITTING O.O

  • Thank you for sharing this video.

  • Thank you for this helpful video!

  • This video reminded me of the Cool Whip episode from Family Guy......

  • Your 'half twist' movement is too fast for beginners. Slow down, Flash.
