I have watched a number of videos to learn how to knit this technique in the round. This was by far the clearest explanation I have seen. Thank you so much!
Excellent! You've made intarsia accessible to many more people. You teach this technique in a way that is approachable and memorable! Flat- no problem. Now I can say the same for a project in the round! Thank you ❤
Thank you soooo so much for this video! You not only explained every facet of this but you also produced a video that clearly demonstrates and is easy to watch. I’m making argyle socks in the round and could not do this without this instruction. Thank you!
I'm from Bharat, which is known by the name India Always wanted to try this technique, beginning of the video itself is so encouraging that I'm sure I'll definitely knit a sweater top down using intarsia technique, thank you for sharing the video
I’m and avid knitter and I’ve never done, nor had I ever heard of the Intarsia method !! I’m making a hat for a woman who wanted a vertical two toned hat… I was using circular needles and had to see how to get this done!!! Searched on RUclips and found that the only way was this Intarsia method!!! Saw many videos demonstrations that were very arduous and confusing!! After about 15 videos, I found yours!!! THANK THE LORD!!! Easy, Breezy, Clarity!!!.MAN OH MAN! You’re the BEST!!!! Thank you sooo very much!!!…BLESSINGS!!!

Hello again Frank, looked (studied) till the end. This is great and has given me the courage to start with it. Thanks soooo muchi! Dona (from Belgium) Please look at my question just above as I stil had one question though. Thank! 😊
I've just watched all the videos in this playlist and they are incredible. Saved to a playlist so I can come back when I eventually try this technique. Thank you so much for such clear concise teaching, Karen.
Thank you so much Phrancko! You answered all of my Intarsia questions and addressed all my confusions about it! This helped a lot! Now I can't wait to apply your well explained instructions on my next knitting project. 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making this elegant and clear video. I know sitting for a long session like that and then doing all the editing work to post a video like this takes quite an effort. I am so grateful you took the time to make a new "rule". Some of us are just rule oriented, I guess. I had been struggling (seriously, for years) to learn how to apply this technique correctly every time, in every situation (I knit socks and use this technique for argyles). Your rule solved all that, for me. Also, your work is so lovely. All the connections perfectly tensioned with stitches lined up like little soldiers, and the simplicity of the field stitches really set off the blocking (making the importance of the clear seams on this piece so much more important). I commend you on your fine stitching, Frank. Well done.
I'm so glad it was helpful to you. I hope you saw that it is just one video in a playlist on the subject. In case you missed it, here is the link to the whole playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL9TybNoczeMZyr4533z7NVa_XZOnC8IhP
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I have ripped out my project so many times trying to figure out how to do intarsia in the round. I'm so glad I found your video. Your lesson has taught me exactly what I needed. Now my project is coming out wonderful. The One Rule definitely stands out. I had to subscribe to your channel. Again thanks Phrancko
Thank you thank you…. I thought I was going to have to change my project. You have explained this technique in a way that is not rushed and non insulting (my intelligence). This video is a God send😊
Fantastic explanations, instructions, and videos. I love how patiently you explain in detail every step of the process. Love all your videos. Appreciated!
It is 11:55 PM. I might dream of intarsia tonight. 😅 I will listen to you again in the morning before starting my first experience with intarsia for socks. I am confident it will work, your explanations are very clear. Thank you so much.
I'm glad it helped. I find that working on small diameter tubes (like socks) is a bit more difficult than working on, say, the body of a sweater. But all the techniques are the same; the strands just get a bit more confused because they are all close together. Let me know how you do.
Brilliant! I’ve made two pairs of intarsia argyle socks using this technique, but never understood what I was doing. The One Rule is perfect. I get it now.
Thank you. I’ll be starting my first Intarsia project shortly. You’ve shown this process so clearly. I’ll definitely come back to this if I get confused with Rule #1. Thank you again! 🙏
Wow I found this video to be so helpful!! I’m making socks with a image I created which seems a bit complex for me. But this video was so thorough I feel confident to do It. I didn’t even know about intarsia specially in the round. He explained everything so well and gave more information on things I wouldn’t think could come up in a situation
Thank you for your time and knowledge in making and sharing this video. I have been trying to figure out how to do this and now I think I've got it!!!! You are the best Frank!
Fantastic explanation! Thank you so much for sharing this technique. I’m excited to knit a raglan “baseball” style t-shirt with different coloured sleeves
Thanks so much! I don’t know if you’re familiar with the annual Sock Madness event/competition on Ravelry, but the qualifying pattern this year requires intarsia in the round with a bunch of 17 balloons. My previous experience with intarsia was doing a heart, like one of your other videos, in a class about five years ago, so I found the Sock Madness sock pattern challenging, to say the least. Your video is wonderfully clear. The two things I found especially helpful were your explanation that intarsia in the round is actually flat intarsia with a technique for connecting the two ends of the fabric, and of course, the One Rule. I have not only successfully knit the 17 balloons pattern, but I have loved doing it and look forward to doing more intarsia in the future.
When I first read "17 balloons" I thought, "That is going to be quite a challenge!" So I was very happy to read further and see that you have already done it! Congratulations, and I am so glad my video was helpful to you.
It is nice to see this explained and shown in a video. I came across this method in a blog posting in 2006 by letmeexplaiknit who talked of 3 methods. This one made the most sense and was the easiest one to do. No one can claim to have invented it. Reinvent sure and maybe tweak. I also feel that it is useful for knitters to look at more than one video - presenters emphasize different things and explain things differently.
I agree, there is nothing truly original in a craft that is more than a thousand years old. We all just build on ideas we inherit from those before us.
Nice and clear and patient. Good idea to use a large piece as it's easier to show on video. I now understand about the loops. I'm making a hot water bottle cover in the round, with an intarsia star on each side and have a lot more confidence to begin the intarsia part. I'll have to find another intarsia video for when I get to the abrupt colour change at the top of the 'arms' of the 5-point star, I expect. The part about slipping a stitch at the moving colour boundary when it's the end of a row does puzzle me a bit so I'll probably come back to that as I go, and I hope it will become clear. Thank you!
@@KnittingbyPhrancko Oh yes it is very helpful, I'm getting confused all the time with the color change. I'm going to undue and then re-start my work tomorrow for now it's late, it's 1:00am for me, so Mr.Phrancko thanks again and also for your patience! Good night 😴
Hello. Thank you very much for the very through and detailed video! I'd love to try the garment you were making in this video - I'd love to try the technique but I'm not good at creating a pattern myself to try this. Is there a pattern of the project I can buy? It will be fantastic if I can see the whole view of the project as well. (I visited your website and ravelry but I couldn't find it) Thank you!
Here is my Ravelry designer page that shows all my published patterns: www.ravelry.com/designers/frank-h-jernigan This particular sweater is the "ITR Pied Sweater" published in the Summer 2022 issue of Cast On Magazine. tkga.org/article/itr-pied-sweater-by-frank-h-jernigan/ The cost of an annual membership, including the magazine and years of its back issues, is only $35.
Fantasitc , thank you , thank you, have been waiting for this since you mentioned it in the last zoom call ! Although your zoom call air knitting gave me a clue :D
Frankly, this is great, however, I wish to understand how to,stop that ground with the. Urgent color and start the next round with a new color. How do I secure the bottom yarn?
I'm not really sure I understand your question. The starting yarn is secured ultimately when you weave in that end. But maybe that wasn't what you were asking. Feel free to clarify.
No, instead of creating the new loop 4 sts from the end and splitting the cable stitches, you can create the loop any number of stitches that you need to. So if there is an 8-stitch cable coming up at the gap, make the loop after all 8 or even 10 sts. Then at the next gap, even out the number of stitches on the two sides by adjusting a larger number of stitches there too.
The pattern I’m working, has a black accent color within each intarsia block. So the black goes across the individual blocks sort of like a fair isle pattern, but the object is knit in the round using blocks of three different colors. Can you demonstrate how to do that?
Let me make sure I understand. You are wanting to do stranded color work at the same time as you are doing intarsia, right? I have also considered that possibility. I believe it is doable but since stranded color-work is most easily worked all on the RS and intarsia, even intarsia-in-the-round, requires working RS and WS alternately, they are not simple to combine. However, if you don't mind working stranded color-work on both RS and WS, the solution would be to reverse the stranded color each time you are reversing directions. To keep the last stranded color stitch in a row/rnd from being misshapen, I would go beyond that last stranded-color stitch and lock the strand on the back of a later stitch. I just might design a sweater that does this, in which case I will definitely make a video showing it in detail.
Hello Phrancko, this video is SO USEFULL! Tnx a lot! I have one question: if I only have one main one-colour design on the front of the sweater, should I set the “beginning of the row” at the beginning of the design approximately middle of the front of the body? Won’t it be to visible middle of the front of the sweater? Or should I better move the starting-point to the side somewhere? Tnx so much for your help! I am making a top-down sweater in the round in one colour with ons huge orange flower in the middle. Kind wooly regards from Dona (from Belgium)
I would start the new color at the leading edge of the first round of the flower design and use that edge to change directions all the way down the image, even as that edge moves left and right, as indicated in the video. If you weave the end in carefully, it should not show even though it is on the front. If you added the new color at the side, it would very likely show as a peek-through where you carry it to the place it is first used. I don't see any advantage to doing that. Let me know if I haven't fuly understood your question.
Hello Frank, I got started, but have difficulty in the start. Once I will be a bit further, I can help myself with the video. But could you please help me with the start-up? I don’t get it right….I watched your video once again, but cannot find the start-up of a design and how to proceed in the first row. Thanks so much for helping me. Dona
Hi Dona, this video is actually only the first one in a series. Here is a link to the entire playlist of four videos. ruclips.net/p/PL9TybNoczeMZyr4533z7NVa_XZOnC8IhP In particular, I address how to start the first row in detail in the last video. Here is the link to that one. ruclips.net/video/4VE6sVVZP3Y/видео.htmlsi=LXVFNNuh_KbF85e3 Let me know if that answers your question.
Ich kannte das schon und habe es oft verwendet. Dann vergaß ich wie es geht, und fand die Anleitung nicht mehr. Danke danke danke genau das war es!!!!! Seit Monaten suche ich!!!
"Intarsia is ALWAYS knitted flat." Unless you're knitting 2-stitch intarsia cables (2 stitches each cable) in the round. Then you can carry your background color at the most 4 sts, unless you have really complex cables. There's at least one video on this. Otherwise, great vudeo!!!!
It's nice to see the technique I developed demonstrated and used. This isn't the only one of my techniques you've shared. Kudos but you should consider giving credit where it's due.
I am always happy to give credit where it's due. But I don't know who you are, so that would be hard to do. I actually learned the basic technique from Suzanne Bryan and worked out the rest of the details that are presented in the video all by myself, namely that every color change follows the "one rule" and if you understand that, you will naturally do the right thing at every color change and row reversal. If I happened to invent the same thing you already do, I'm sorry I didn't know it was your technique.
Interesting. It appears my video tutorial predates hers. In her video she makes one of the yarn crosses in the wrong direction which makes the back of her work messy.
@@2bunusedI, too, learned this from Ms. Bryan. I searched the RUclips files for years and hers was the only video I came across showing this technique. I have watched it a hundred times and missed that the beginning of the row changed each time you turned your work. Mr. Phrancko explained it more concisely in this video. @2bunused, I would love to view your video, too. I am a very visual learner and appreciate seeing more than one way to tackle a technique. Please share your video's location!!
I don’t turn my work to purl. I just knit backwards and keep the right side facing out at all times. I need to get my head around your instructions and make sure I twist the colors the right way or I’ll see color blips on the public side.
I have watched a number of videos to learn how to knit this technique in the round. This was by far the clearest explanation I have seen. Thank you so much!
Excellent! You've made intarsia accessible to many more people. You teach this technique in a way that is approachable and memorable! Flat- no problem. Now I can say the same for a project in the round! Thank you ❤

Let me know if that answers your question.
Ich kannte das schon und habe es oft verwendet. Dann vergaß ich wie es geht, und fand die Anleitung nicht mehr. Danke danke danke genau das war es!!!!! Seit Monaten suche ich!!!
Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort. I'm so glad it was helpful to you.
"Intarsia is ALWAYS knitted flat."
Unless you're knitting 2-stitch intarsia cables (2 stitches each cable) in the round. Then you can carry your background color at the most 4 sts, unless you have really complex cables. There's at least one video on this.
Otherwise, great vudeo!!!!
Thanks for the insight.
It's nice to see the technique I developed demonstrated and used. This isn't the only one of my techniques you've shared. Kudos but you should consider giving credit where it's due.
I am always happy to give credit where it's due. But I don't know who you are, so that would be hard to do. I actually learned the basic technique from Suzanne Bryan and worked out the rest of the details that are presented in the video all by myself, namely that every color change follows the "one rule" and if you understand that, you will naturally do the right thing at every color change and row reversal. If I happened to invent the same thing you already do, I'm sorry I didn't know it was your technique.
Interesting. It appears my video tutorial predates hers. In her video she makes one of the yarn crosses in the wrong direction which makes the back of her work messy.
@@KnittingbyPhrancko Thank you! You're so relaxing!
@@2bunusedI, too, learned this from Ms. Bryan. I searched the RUclips files for years and hers was the only video I came across showing this technique. I have watched it a hundred times and missed that the beginning of the row changed each time you turned your work. Mr. Phrancko explained it more concisely in this video. @2bunused, I would love to view your video, too. I am a very visual learner and appreciate seeing more than one way to tackle a technique.
Please share your video's location!!
@@pamelajwatson988 My video predated hers by almost a year. It's nice to see my technique helping others.

I don’t turn my work to purl. I just knit backwards and keep the right side facing out at all times. I need to get my head around your instructions and make sure I twist the colors the right way or I’ll see color blips on the public side.
I’ve never see such a neat finishing back in intarsia. My work tend to be bumpy not neat and flat like yours.
I bet you could figure that out. The trickiest part would be learning to knit backwards and you have already done that. I wish I could!
