Yes - I always like to use the shortest needles possible, especially when I just have a few stitches, like the swatches I knit in these demonstrations. And DPNs are the shortest!

Lindsay Green - to work this in the round (I haven't test knit this, but I think it's pretty straight-forward): Round 1 (right side): *Knit 1, slip 1 with yarn in front*, repeat between the * across to end of round. Row 2: *slip 1 with yarn in front, Knit 1*, repeat between the * across to end of round

This makes a very interesting fabric…yes, more like woven on the “right” side. I practiced using leftover acrylic yarn and size 9 needles. I added an edge and made a stack of quite useful coasters, more attractive in 2 colors, that lie perfectly flat. I think this fabric in a variegated “tweedy” wool yarn would make a handsome man’s vest. I wish I were talented enough to make or adapt a pattern.

This pattern looks so neat, especially with the 2 alternating colors. I think I'll wait to try this until after I teach myself to knit continental style. All of that moving yarn around will go really slowly with the way I knit now (throwing).

@thejfamtravels Increases and decreases could cause lumps and bumps, depending on what you're doing. But the linen stitch should still lie flat without curling, if that's what you mean.

I am a newbie to knitting but i tried this and loved the thick weave look altho the colors didn't quite zigzag, but I still love the feel of this double/sided knit result. It is like I have two sides to the swatch I just made. I am sure I will figure out the interweave look soon. Thanks for teaching this :)

Hi Andrea - I'm not sure I understand your question, but is your question with alternating the two colors for stripes? It's really no different in-the-round or flat...just pick up the other color of yarn every two rows, no need to cut the yarn each time.

Vortica - I have not experimented with shaping this stitch, but I believe there are patterns out there for adding increases and decreases, if you google it.
@verypinkknits12 жыл бұрын
@thejfamtravels You could, but it would be easy to lose track of which stitch you were on, and end up slipping where you should knit, and vice versa. You'd have to work the increases/decreases in pairs, preferably right next to each other, to maintain the stitch.

You can count stitches on the right side of the work - each V is a knit stitch, and each "dash" is a slipped stitch. So, working carefully across one row, you count Vs and dashes.

i am using your excellent instructions for a shoulder strap for a yoga bag. Wow I cannot believe how many times I have to rip out rows (luckily they are short) constantly finding errors on this simple stitch, and I am only doing one color. I cannot begin to imagine how to go down to make a correction, this is so hard to read what's required, simple as it is, I go unconscious and make mistakes. The written really helped me re-start and get back in rhythm. Hmmmm, very humbling.

Hello! Thank you for posting these beautifully clear and explained videos! They've helped so much!! Do you have, somewhere, a video of the linen stitch done in the two colors where you switch back and forth between them? It's the 1:37 pattern in the video. I'm ready for more of a challenge (comfortable with knit/purl and would like to move on to more interesting 'stuff' ;) ) and after making place mats and coasters, I'd like to make a purse in this pattern. To learn, I have to go over and over and over the video of what I'm trying to learn as I'm not at all coordinated...... I know this is still in the super easy stage, but for me, right now, working with TWO colors is quite daunting! But it's just GORGEOUS, so I gotta figure it out! :) I'm going to look on your videos and find out how to make a cowl... if that's one that you've done... THANK YOU FOR HELPING ALL OF US LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I do as the instructions say and '*Knit 1, slip 1, bind-off 1* repeat to last stitch,' that leaves stitches on the needle.
