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

I am working on a hat with stripes in five different colors, and I have been through SO many jogless stripes videos on the internet now... I have frogged the hat no less than five times... And FINALLY I find a video that really shows how to do it, without fingers getting in the way etc. THANK YOU! This hat was driving me crazy, but finally it looks good! :D
