How to change colour when knitting: Free Video Tutorial






Knitting with colour adds interest to your work, but to a beginner knitter it may seem a challenge to actually do this. However, changing colours when you’re knitting really is easier than you would think. There is no need to cut the yarn between colour changes when knitting colour work or stripes. By carrying the yarn up the side of your work this allows you to bring different colour yarns up the edge without unsightly knots spoiling your knitting where a colour change has taken place. The above video from Knit Purl Hunter, will guide you step-by-step, through the process of  making the yarn colour change.

The process is also exactly the same as explained if you are adding a new ball of yarn to your knitting
