I'm so glad I found this video! I've been feeling discouraged with my first three colour & long floats project and this video gave me the systematic approach I needed and the confidence to tackle the project again. Thanks a lot ! :)
This is very helpful! I do have one question though, just to make sure I’m clear. When you catch floats you can only trap them with a color that is right next to them, is that correct? So you would not want to trap a white float with the black yarn (and Vice versa) bc white is all the way on the bottom and black is at the top, and you’d be crossing the red? Is that correct? Thanks so much for this video!
Glad it was helpful. But, it seems you're still unclear on some of it. No, you are not limited to catching only a color that is right next to the color to be knitted (or vice versa). The method works for all permutations of knitting with three colors. Watch the video again and pay particular attention to the example that starts around 10:20. It uses the black/top color + the white/bottom color. The main concept here, as discussed and shown on the handout, is that the color to be caught must move to the position of the stitch to be knit. It does not matter at all if a third color is between them.
Good evening Thank you for the useful explanation I need if you can help me to make a knitted dress for my 5-year-old granddaughter using Fair Isle But I can't read the pattern and I'm not interested because I won't do this job professionally it's just a hobby Because I will start from the top and when I make a sweater or jacket or dress for my granddaughters I start from the top and divide using the men's method but I need to know how to work incrementally in this method and I am restricted to a specific pattern and a number that depends on the pattern So is it possible for you to help me? I will be grateful and thankful to you Fatma
Sorry, Fatma, but I don’t think I have what you’re looking for. Hopefully you can find a pattern, or process, using the method you like in the Patterns database on Ravelry.com.
