Query for you, Patty. I decided to cast on a Flax sweater [Tin Can Knits] and am going to put in the single row of colors. However, there are the purls in the shoulder where the new color comes in. Would this jog-less join with purls as well?

Not for fair isle. There's a different trick I use for that. I'll be demoing that in the Knit Stars & class!!

Wow. Thank you so much. Being a self taught knitter who just makes things up . . . I sheepishly must admit, I didn't know it had a name. I will tag it right now. THANKS

Sure, just do the join on a knit

Thanks@@PattyLyonsKnitting

No. You would work the single rounds stripe in rib. But if you are doing an entire project of single row stripes, use Helix knitting. This is just for inserting one or two single rounds.

This is for a single row stripe inside a solid color. For a stripe series like that I would use Helix. That’s another video. That would use 4 balls of yarn.

Hi Patty, I'm so sorry for not having thanked you for your quick reaction. Helix is what I had been fearing ... have to rethink the design 😂 Anyway - thank you for your super instructive videos!

@@TheLadyOmaha There is nothing to fear with Helix. It's super simple. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7Z8qtl5y7Szj40.html

If the new color is your main color and you are returning to it, then that is a MULTI row stripe issue. Like it says above: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7tmgMZ6l7CYnas.html

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Thank you again, Patty! I missed that critical detail but now it looks great! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ~Candace

@@sambarcan Thanks so much to Candace for asking and Patty for replying. I had gotten stuck on that, too.

slip stitch for a single stripe, Helix for many: www.moderndailyknitting.com/2021/04/23/ask-patty-jogless-join/

@@PattyLyonsKnitting thank you so much! This does help immensely

I'm not sure what you mean by the one row color change. To make a single round stripe, follow this video, to make a second single round strip, slip to a different place on your round (away from the start of the last single round stripe) and repeat these directions. THEN when you're ready to return to your main color, knit one round of that and then (as it says in the notes above), on your second round of the main color, you have to follow the rules for a 2 or more row stripe. As it says in the notes above: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: • Jogless Join: 2 row stripe (there's a link to that video above in the notes)

No, take another look at the video and pay attention to the direction I'm wrapping my yarn. All knitters put the needle in the hole (to not twist the stitch), but a Western knitter wraps the yarn UNDER the needle and an Eastern knitter wraps the yarn OVER.

@@PattyLyonsKnittingThanks for your prompt reply. So just to clarify, what you are referring to as Western - is more commonly known as English knitting style? And what you refer to as Eastern is generally known as Continental knitting style? I hope I have this correct. I have never before heard of the terms Western & Eastern for knitting styles. There are so many different styles of knitting all over the world, it's very intriguing.

@@judib1809 No not at all. English knitting means holding the yarn in your right hand. Continental knitting is holding the yarn in your left hand. These are knitting styles, nothing to do with knitting METHODS, how the stitch is constructed. This is a very important thing to understand in your knitting so you can control it, For more information on this you can learn more in Improve Your Knitting Video class - pattylyons.com/product/improve-your-knitting/ To learn more about how to CHANGE the direction you wrap your yarn or where you put your needle to do stitches differently, check out Patty's Knitting Bag of Tricks - pattylyons.com/product/knitting-bag-of-tricks/

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Oh I see - I had no idea! Thanks very much!

This is a specific trick for inserting one or two stripes in a solid background. If your sweater is all single row stripes you would use Helix knitting. If it's many multi row stripes, then see my video on 2 row stripe.

As I said in the notes to the video: Remember, when you return to your main color, you will need to do the jogless join for a two or more row stripe: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7tmgMZ6l7CYnas.html

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Oh, I”m sorry -I missed where you said to do do the jogless join when returning to the main color. I didn’t see that in the video.

@@elainebos This is a video for a single row bullseye stripe, but remember, if you are returning to your original color, that is also a two or more row stripe. So you'll need to follow instructions for a two or more row stripe

Do you mean if you have one single round of a stripe in a different color in the middle of a fair isle pattern? It would work to join any single round of a color. This video is for a very specific thing - to create a SINGLE round stripe within a body of a solid color. If you are looking for other jogless techniques (stranded knitting, multi row stripes, multiple single row stripes /Helix) there are different videos. It's always best to look at the why of a technique - what is the issue and what is it solving?

@@PattyLyonsKnitting Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.. I went through your video on fairisle in the round. That explains a lot.

I don't know, but I would find your favorite crochet teacher and send this link to ask them.
