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 from behind in the front 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. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Liebes Drops-Team, Funktioniert das auch beim fair isle auf Rundnadeln? In welchen Reihen nehme ich dann die Masche hoch? Dankeschön!

DROPS Design :

Liebe Lioba, es kann je nach dem Diagram/Muster, aber öftens kann das nicht funktionnieren, dann könnnen Sie versuchen, den Faden beim Übergang etwas fester ziehen damit die Maschen nebeneinander liegen aber auch nicht zu fest damit die Arbeit nicht zu eng wird. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

A co w sytuacji gdy pierwsze oczko okrążenia ma być przerobione jako prawe przekręcone? Jak wtedy nałożyć nitkę?

Goedemorgen, deze steek klopt niet helemaal,als je de steek gewoon oppakt zoals beschreven dan komt hoe dan ook de opgenomen steek vooraan te liggen als je het hebt gebreit en dat moet nou juist niet. De steek moet hoe dan ook gedraaid worden en dan krijg je een mooie ronde lijn en blijft de opgenomen steek achter de goede kleur liggen Heb het tig x geprobeert en het kwam maar niet goed

Hola, gracias por contestar. El vídeo que me has puesto es para comenzar la labor, pero mi pregunta es cómo se hace cuando cada vuelta cambias de color, cómo hacer ahí para que no haya escalón o es inevitable? Gracias

Bonjour, Merci pour votre précédente réponse. Je me suis peut-être mal exprimée. Il me semble que la méthode de tricoter n’a pas d’importance. Mais il y a t’il une solution pour éviter le décalage quand on tricote sur le revers de l’ouvrage ? Merci d’avance, Maria

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Maria, si vous tricotez du jersey envers, je ne connais pas de méthode, si vous tricotez du point mousse, serrer la dernière maille du tour aide. N'hésitez pas à demander à d'autres tricoteuses du monde entier via le groupe cité dans la réponse précédente, certaines ont peut être la solution que vous cherchez. Bon tricot!

Bonjour, Cette méthode peut être aussi utilisée pour tricoter du jacquard sur l’envers à la portugaise, où il y a t’il besoin de l’adapter ? S’il y a besoin de l’adapter, pourriez-vous me dire comment ? Merci d’avance !

Bonjour Maria, je suis désolée, je ne connais pas cette technique de tricot, n'hésitez pas à demander conseil à votre magasin ou bien sur un forum tricot ou bien sur notre groupe DROPS Workshop où des tricoteuses du monde entier pourront vous aider. Merci pour votre compréhension.
