Intarsia Basics 

The short rows are worked after every 4th garter ridge, not garter row. A little blip.

Wonderful video, thank you. Not only did I refresh intarsia basics, I learned how to finally make baby blanket borders and cardigan garter bands the right size. Ingenious! So is the picking up wrap technique. Fabulous!

Thank you, this was very helpful. Excited to give intarsia a go!

Hi first time knitter learnt off the internet love the basics instruction on how to include patterns love knitting when l get time too would love to learn more of this technique

I am making an intarsia scarf and I keep coming back to this playlist. Your techniques have really elevated the quality of my project, so much thanks 🙏🏻.

I am finally getting to the intarsia section of the Cable Pillow tutorial! These videos make learning the techniques so much easier. It's great to be able to learn from a master hand knitter who knows how to teach and also knows how to produce a very clear video. And again, thank you and all your helpers for the time stamps and mediation and such like. :)

Oh dear, deeper to forest more trees, very clear tutorials, definitely encouraging to try to knit with two colours, as well makes it clearer to me because you hold your yarn in left hand as I do.

Thank-you, I am learning something new every day.

Very good video on intarsia. I'm starting my first intarsia project, and this video was very helpful.

Thank you so much for this video! Before watching, I was terrified of attempting intarsia, but you've broken it down nicely. I can't wait to improve my knitting skills and give intarsia a whirl. Thanks again!

This project was so much fun. We've learnt so many technics. Suzanne, I was so lucky finding you.❤

Thankyou I love a challenge. Have to try what you're doing as well looks a little intimidating but I'll get there. Thanks again.

Excellent tutorial Suzanne, by far the best I have seen. Want to knit a jumper with a duck on the front for my grandson, this tutorial has given me enough confidence to attempt it. Thank you so much

You are amazing I'm totally blown away by how you made it look so simple.Thanks so much

Hi Suzanne, I've been knitting for several years but have never tried to knit intarsia. Then I saw the "Safe at Home Blanket" with the little houses and I knew I had to try it. The only problem was- I couldn't understand the printed instructions. I saw several youtube vids but yours is the absolute fabulous BEST for a beginner like me. Thank you so much for your clear instructions :)

THank you Suzanne! I love your tutorials -- so easy to understand!

Hi I just came across you tutorial they are amazing this intarsia method thank u so much for teaching I started knitting a jumper with the bus pattern in it for my grandson I was so frustrated because I had holes all the way I didn’t understand why but after watching this tutorial about crossing over the yarn I hve final understood where I went wrong thank you so much God bless you 🙏🏽😘

You are such a good teacher!

Fantastic demonstration Suzanne. Thanks

...I really enjoy watching you fixing your mistakes and saying it's OK ...I used to fix them in the closet with a flashlight in my mouth ...those days are now gone forever ...another winner ...thank you so much for your devotion ...t.

Simple yet thorough explanation! Thank you!

Hi Suzanne. You are truly EXCEPTIONAL and blest with talent. I have become ADDICTED to your prestigious channel. I did make a cardigan with a three color intarsia long ago. RU-vid or computers didn't exist. My finished project looked great from the right side but the wrong side was a twisted jungle. I started on a project yesterday and thought I'd visit your channel for some advise. I am glad I did. My dispersed squirrels would have looked like rats! I have to use many separate little balls of yarn instead of the 3 large balls of yarn as mentioned in the book. Words ain't enough to say THANKYOU to my Teacher. Suzanne you are adorable. Thanks for sharing and caring. 😚👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

You are GREAT! Thanks a lot for the knitting tips every time.

Thank you for making this so clear. You take the mystery out of it.

Thank you for this fantastic video!! You made this technique so easy! Great little tips scattered throughout the video help make all the difference in being able to do intarsia! Thank you, thank you!!

I always refer to your channel when I need help. Thank you. You are my first go to.

always so clearly explained and demystified, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I have done intarsia for many years, but I got some great pointers from you here. However - I don't knit Continental, I knit English, and no one seems to teach how to do that anymore - but I'm too long in the tooth to change at this point in my life.

great video, straight forward and extremely useful, thank you so much!

Merci beaucoup Suzanne ! J'ai moi-même essayé votre méthode et elle est juste géniale et très facile. De plus je ne parle pas anglais mais vos explications sont très claires 💝🤗

Great tutorial! Thanks for the clarity

Love your color videos.......currently making dog sweaters for my small dog......next project is the star sweater by vogue.....intarisa...MOSTLY on the front...thank-you for all the details....deb

Loved your video! I am new to intarsia knitting and could not find a way I liked to start the first (2nd color) stitch in the body of the fabric. I also wish that I had seen your video about the garter ridge as I have a work in progress that I wish I had known this before. THANK YOU

Wow, that garter short ridge trick is brilliant. I am sure a lot of shawls with 3 garterstitch-edges would look a lot better if one incorporated this

OMG another eye-opener. It never occurred to me to add rows in a garter edge. I have noticed the effect of mixing garter edges with stockinette interiors but have always just knitted them more loosely to keep everything flat. Doh! You are a smarty pants.

So clear and concise. Thank you!

About to start this on a cardigan pattern that offered no clues on what to do. Thankyou. I knew there was a trick on trapping yarns.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very informative. The actual reasons for various techniques are well and clearly explained. A gem!!

I love it. Your words are easy to follow and the close ups are very helpful. Repeating a few times is great for everyone and especially us older knitters. Will you do a video on intarsia in the round? Its tricky (my attempt at a hat was wonky) but I bet you will give a straightforward explanation on the tricky part. I did mine using short rows but there were so many bumps and I didn't hide the SR very well. Help.

Plain talking instructions ive got the hang of it thankyou

Great tutorial!

Que maravilloso, muy bien explicado, muy buena clase, muchas gracias😘. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

Thank you so much.

"It's o.k. to do that. It's not cheating." 22:10 I will remember that from now on when I have enlarged stitches. I can fix them with a tapestry needle. I don't have to undo all my knitting. :)

Excellent tutorial!

Hi Suzanne! I'm just getting started on learning Intarsia! I love your videos! You are such a good teacher.... I'm going to give this a go... I do have a question about adding the short row... I don't understand what this does? Does it stabilize the edge? If you have time and could let me know, I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Great tutorial thank you.

Thank you so much! Really great tutorial! 😊

You are wonderful! Thank you!

Very clear. Thank you.

Just found the answer to my question in the comments below! Thanks

excellent

It's very pretty ! But a lot of work. Thank you for your tutorial .

Good morning! Wonderful video, as usual, Suzanne. thank you. How to cross yarn if I do intarsia in garter st ? In the WS?

Hi Suzanne, I’m fascinated with the short row in the garter stitch band. I’ve never heard of using them to even out the row gauge. Is there a rule of thumb about how often to do the short rows when knitting a long band of garter stitch? I always learn something from your videos, they are great! You are my “go to” when I have a question re technique. Thanks. Kathy V.

Really great video! This is by far the best tutorial I've ever seen. Just wondering if the short rows are an absolutely necessary. I've tried in the past working with short rows and have had great difficulty.

very clear instructions. Thankyou.

Thank you so much for the clear tutorial! One question for you, why do the wrap and turn? I will definitely use it for sock heels because of the clarity you showed to do it.

Hi - this is my first go at intarsia & am a new knitter! Can you start intarsia using the purl stitch first? My pattern says to p25 in blue, p13 in purple then p25 in blue. Am so Confused!

It`s perfect- both your work and comments.Thank you so much!

I’m a new intarsia knitter & really appreciate this clearly explained video. I have a question for which I’ve been unable to find an answer & hope you can help. If the contrasting color on the Purl side (for instance the green in the video) is picked up several stitches out to the side from the last green (knitted) row, that seems to create a float. Is there any way to correct that. Should the float be limited to 5 or less stitches? Thanks very much!

When adding a new color on the purl side do you put the tail on the wrong side of the work or the right side of the work?

شكرا

Can I just do everything in a purl stitch? The whole 5 knits and 5 purls make it all so confusing. I am used to the purl and not the knit stitch and it's so frustrating 😪😪😪😪

I'm new to knitting. Why do you add the short rows in? I love your videos.

Do you have a tutotial for garter intarsia? The color twiting and tension for color blocking not diamonds where we move over a stich . I'm needing garter and blocks so straight joins with no holes Garter Stitch please and how to twist colors and control stitch sizes at joins please. Thank you.

I think it would be more helpful if you showed the contrasting border worked like you have in the written chart and instructions.

Hi I am a beginner in knitting can you demonstrate how to knit a circle in Intarsia

Hi just come across this video. Havnt knitted for years, however just bought a kaffe fassett designer knitwear book which has fabulous colourful designs...I can follow the chart but changing the colour every row for the rib leaves me with a colourful fringe at either end? And of course I had holes at every colour change, as Id never done or heard of intarsia...talk about jumping in at the deepend ...however I found your tutorial extremely helpful..so I will try again, but still not sure how to deal with the 'fringe' from 14 rows of different coloured rib?? Another thing is I am English and serm the knit in a different style? I have just ordered a pair of circular needles for this project to try as they look easier to manage with...mine are 42 cm long which I tuck underarm!? Is this method oldfashioned or just English?🤣❤ persevering! Debs in Spain x

hello. thanx for wonderful tutorials. i have a question about loose stitches next to color change. it always happens to the first stitch after color change on the wrong side. so if you look from the right side, you see loose last stitches before color changes (loose always only those done in purl on the wrong side.) thanks

What is the reason for the short row in the garter boarder? Thanks

I feel a bit silly asking, but why did you create a short row in the 4th row in the garter edge? Is this because the stockinette stitches are elongated because of the knit sts being taller than the purls in the garter? And did you continue this every 4th row?

Why did you used a new white when you already using the white can't you carry he white over?
