How to get invisible transitions when using double pointed needles.

In this DROPS video we show a knitting tip to get invisible transitions when using double pointed needles. KNITTING TIP (with double pointed needles): To avoid the stitches in the transitions between needles being too large, always work 3 stitches from the next needle before changing needles; all the transitions between needles are then moved 3 stitches each time. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video You’ll find a pattern where you can use this technique by clicking on the picture below.

Join, making sure not to twist stitches on row. Slip 1st stitch on left needle purl-wise over to right needle. Slip the 2nd stitch on right needle over the 1st. Move the slipped stitch back to left needle. Tighten yarn ends. Place a marker to mark beginning of the round and start knitting

How to knit stripes in the round with no jog

In this DROPS video we show how to knit stripes in the round without getting a jog in the transition. Change to a new color and work 1 round. Work the first stitch on the next round like this: Pick up the stitch under the first stitch on the left needle (pick up in the back loop), and put it into the left needle. Knit the stitch together with the next stitch on the left needle. In this way, the transition becomes less visible. You can carry to other color along on the inside of the work. If the stripes are wide, you can twist the colors at the end of round on every 3 cm/ every 1 inch. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.

How to increase 1 stitch towards the right (wrong side)

In this DROPS video we show you how to increase 1 stitch from the wrong side, which twists to the right, i.e., the back loop of the stitch is on top when the stitch is worked. Before starting the video: We have already worked 12 cm = 4¾" with increases and begin the video by purling until there are 4 stitches left on the row. In the video: The increase is worked by using the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, the strand is picked up from the front and the stitch is purled through the back loop.
