There were so many questions on this video I filmed a video answering as many as I could!
• Helical Knitting FAQ!
FAQ’s
1. This will only work when knitting in the round, with dpns or circular needles. This will not work for knitting flat pieces. Just carry the yarn up the side.
2. This will not work with wider stripes. This is a tutorial for blending similar skeins together. It works well for single stripes but NOT for thicker stripes. You will get a float on the back of the wotk if you use this method for thicker stripes.
3. The sweater Im wearing is the Pavement Sweater. You can by the pattern here : www.ravelry.co...
Thanks for watching! I hope it was clear enough!
The yarn I am using is Babbles Yarns Delicious DK and the colourways are “Sin” and “The Same Moon”
Im knitting on a 4mm needle

This is without a doubt the best method. I am so thankful you posted this video because all the other videos seem to show the other method and yours works best. I did this on a sweater I made & lived that it didn’t have a seam inside from twisting the two yarns. Thanks.

@jenniferpena8043 5 лет назад

"Yarn-barfy" is the word I have been waiting my entire life to hear, thank you.

@kimsimpson1274 5 лет назад

I have been knitting for over 45 years and have never seen this technique. Thank you for your easy explanation :)

@mariamelgoza2442 5 лет назад

Wow you are so good at it,,just started knitting, I'm 63 years old,,,and got to say I learn something new every day. Thank you so much for your tutorial,,explained very good .

Maria Melgoza thank you!

@robinsidwell6241 5 лет назад

Genius! I’ve heard of this method but didn’t really understand it. This is a great explanation and thank you for SHOWING how to do it, not just talk.

5:52 Where you explain slipping purl wise! 💡 Finally! I've been knitting for years now and I just slip the stitches so 'they look right' to me, and just ignored the instructions of slip purl wise/slip knit wise in patterns because I used to knit combination style (western knits, eastern purls) and would have to reorient the stitches anyway. I think the 'slip knit wise/purl wise' is just something so obvious to most knitters and part of the english terminology (i'm a non-native english speaker) that it was just never shown. Thank you! You solved one of my knitting mysteries! 🧡 And thank you for explaining the jogless join as well, i look forward to try this on baby hats and socks!

@GraceTheBabbler 9 месяцев назад

I’m delighted this was helpful!!!

@lesleyphillips931 Месяц назад

I'm so happy to find this clear and easy method to avoid the wiggley 'seam'. Thank you for the clear explanation. 😊

@stacya3751 5 лет назад

Kristin from Voolenvine recommended your video on alternating skeins, and I just want to thank you for doing this. It changes things, and now I feel so much better about alternating skeins.

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Stacy Adams thank you so much for letting me know! Kristen is a complete doll. I love using this technique and it really makes the most beautiful garments knit with hand dyed yarns. X

@wildbydesign7255 5 лет назад

Seriously brilliant. I am so grateful that you shared this. I was attempting skein alternating for the first time and wasn’t having the best luck till I found your video.

@monikajoyner2265 4 года назад

Wow ... I've never heard about that technic before, I didn't know I need this. But wow ... that's exactly what I NEED! At the moment I don't understand how it works, it sounds like pure magic. But I definitely try it out. Today. Thank you very much for your tutorial!

@probablyknitting5052 5 лет назад

OK, sorry about the mess but my head just exploded! This is a game changer for me because I wanted to start, finally, a Cardigan for my self and knew I would be using a yarn that had to have alternating skeins. I've almost finished one for my Hubster but didn't need to alternate skeins. And now I have no excuse not to start one for me, except for picking out a pattern. Thank you so much for this tutorial, and yes we love your Babbles too! You are a Darling. You dish out pretty sage advice for someone so young. Jan B.

@tiffanysmith8186 5 лет назад

Best video on creating jogless joins and alternating skeins I've seen and believe me, I've watched a LOT - thank you!

@gmr1241 5 лет назад

Thank you! I've watched I don't know how many videos on helical (Sp?) knitting. Never got it - and I've been knitting for ages. Brilliantly explained.

@adalai7649 4 года назад

Fantastic technique! I'm using it to knit two-color striped hats with single-row stripes. This is THE best technique ever. I'm also excited about using it to interleave two balls of hand-dyed yarn!!! Thanks so much @

@alexandraabraham6698 5 лет назад

I've come across several jogless in-the-round instructional videos and this beats all of them into a cocked hat, it's brilliant. simple, easy, and very practical, it's a pleasure to do.

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Alexandra Abraham omg! That’s amazing! Thank you so so much!

@fuddyduds 5 лет назад

just found this. I've been knitting for 30 years and had NO IDEA! The only 'jogless join " I'd tried slipped just one stitch and was not as tidy. Can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing!

@PattymacMakes 5 лет назад

I love this!! So well demonstrated and explained. This totally solves the mystery of how to get the mystical one row stripes to work. I don’t make garments (yet) but I love striped accessories. Thank you!

@TootlesTart 4 года назад

I’m knitting an historical pair of doll stockings in chevron pattern alternating cream and cardinal red colors. Switching colors was messing up the tension and there were pulled stitches due to increases and decreases. It wasn’t looking quite right. Can’t wait to try your method for switching up colors!

@thusneldamuller37 8 месяцев назад

You knit so lighthanded! I tried to knit the American way (holding the yarn in the right hand) for multicolour knitting (have one yarn right and one yarn left) but I think it's so difficult to not miss the needle. Love the Helical knitting. Will try it out now! And I will do it knitting two socks on one Needle.

@msdeedee1808 5 лет назад

I'm mesmerized by how the needles just flow with her fingers..so smooth! TFS.

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Ms DeeDee thank you! I learned how to knit this way by watching Mina Philip, the Knitting Expat.

@mariamercedesromero6824 5 лет назад

Results!!!! I'm from Argentina and my issue is how to avoid joggles in fair isle searching I found the solution but surfing on RU-vid there you are with your tip with different colors!!! Thanks because your way is more easy than anyone!!!!

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

maria mercedes Romero FANTASTIC!

@murielmarechal2454 7 месяцев назад

I must try this for my next pair of sicks. Thanks for this knitting trick. You are such a good teacher! ❤

@krikeles 5 лет назад

Thanks for this. I looked this up since I'm trying to use up some leftover yarn making baby sweaters with stripes. I then realized that this is going to be amazingly useful for knitting sweaters with those lovely but not quite matching hand dyed yarns.

@wendybird3107 5 лет назад

THANK YOU! You are awesome. I'm a self taught knitter and i have started on a hat with two colors and you can really tell where the colors changed. With this technique of joggless join my hat is gonna look more professional and neater. Pleas excuse my ignorance in all knitting terms i just started like 3 weeks ago with no knowledge what do ever but just a strong interest in knitting, besides beautiful, soothing voice and wonderful accent you are a great teacher, thank you again for your tips!

@kathygoodman6159 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this! I was trying to make my very first sweater and I just couldn't get the switching of the yarn right so I kept knitting away but after a bunch of rows I noticed how bad that looked so I would tear back to the ribbing and then try to make it look better only to see eventually that it didn't look any better and tear back again. I finally gave up and tore it all out and went back to knitting socks. I am so excited to start that sweater again and use this method. You have just given me my knitting mojo again!

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Kathy Goodman thats the highest praise!

@marymurphy9447 4 года назад

Thank you Grace, I have been knitting nearly 60 years and it’s true.... you can learn something new everyday..!!!

@Lorenzo-hu7fh 3 года назад

I’ve use this method for like three hats and I’m now using it for a pair of socks… obviously they’re all presents… but that’s the fun 🤩 so THAAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!!!

@Avril. 5 лет назад

I've tried this before but the instructions were crap and it was a mess. This is super simple. Thanks.

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

@denisemartinez6456 5 лет назад

I'm a beginner knitter who's been crocheting since age five. This was wonderful. I've only made solid color hats and I'm so excited to learn to change colors for striped and such. Your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed. Blessings from New Mexico USA

@xraymdabm 5 лет назад

What an excellent, clear video and even your answers to the comments were illuminating and answered questions for me (the technique is meant for in-the-round knitting, not for pieced-and-seamed work, and with wider stripes it would create a float in the back of the work). My question now is: what do you do at the end of your garment to neatly finish off the helical knitting? I would love to see a demonstration of that!

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

xraymdabm you end up knitting with one colour for a few rounds. And then bind off in one. The extra end you have from the previous colour is just woven in where you stopped. If everything is a similar colour then it doesn’t make a difference.

@mary44107 5 лет назад

Your tutorial is awesome! No one has ever been able to explain this method to me so clearly. I can't wait to get started!!

@carolineroberts8490 Год назад

Thank you so much for a wonderful how to video- Your explanation is so clear and makes it easy! Now I can finish my sweater!

@GraceTheBabbler Год назад

so happy!

@maureengreen4008 4 года назад

I’m knitting a cardigan at the moment and I can’t - for the love or money, get the jogless seam...seamless! I have frogged back 4 or 5 times and I’m excited to try this technique. Thank you

@nuvoclassic 4 года назад

Brilliant - I'm a beginner knitter (experienced in crochet) - thank you!

@freda45 5 лет назад

Amazing. I've tried to make something with stripes and ripped it back out because I hated the look of that seam it makes. Thank you

@sydneybristo22 5 лет назад

For reference for self and others: At min 2:20 adding the new color yarn as active yarn, K all the way around until the last 3 st. slip the last 3 stitches as if to purl. Pick up old color yarn as active yarn and Knit all the way around until the last 3 stitches. slip the last 3 stitches as if to Purl. Pick up New color yarn as active yarn and repeat. The pattern rotates like the structure of DNA. - that is why it is called the helix. I'm trying to type this out for myself and others that need a quick reference. THANK YOU so much to Grace for sharing this video and producing this and many other fantastic videos. Please check her out on instagram at @vanawillemiel and @babblesyarns

@valeriebeach3952 5 лет назад

Grace, Thank you so much for this video. It came to me at the exact moment that I needed it too, unreal. I picked up my iPad to look for some advice on alternating skeins and this video was the first one on my RU-vid home page 😳. I started using it immediately and it is fantastic! I’m knitting a Sipila, top down pullover by Caitlin Hunter and I’d been avoiding it for all kinds of reasons, altering skeins being one of them. However, now I’m sailing along and hope to be done very soon. Thanks for sharing, Grace, this technique was a game changer! Yes!

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Valerie Beach that’s wonderful! Exactly what I wanted this video to do. I’m curious, were you subscribed to me before watching the video?

@valeriebeach3952 5 лет назад

Yes, I was already a subscriber when this video was posted. I’ve since turned on the alert so I know when you post a new video.

@joscott5729 5 лет назад

Thank you, definitely trying this next time as I find I always notice the line twisting the yarns

@SharonMichelleWebster 5 лет назад

It’s like magic Grace, absolutely brilliant ~ thank you for showing how to do this, now I can get cracking with knitting garments & alternating skeins 😘

@jenjf4knits913 5 лет назад

Thanks for this. Love watching your podcast Grace. This tutorial was very clear and having two colors helped me visualize what’s happening better. This makes alternating skeins seem so much less intimidating!

@grimiskitty1120 4 года назад

ohhhh amazing I never thought about doing that before and it looks like it doesn't waste yarn like the traditional way of changing colors. I can't wait to give this a try :3

@ccam504 5 лет назад

Thanks, Grace for the video on jogless join. I decided to use it for striped socks. Your explanation is great and not knitting at the speed of light is sooo helpful.

@BBaxterSwank 4 года назад

Your instructions are very helpful. I am starting a sweater for which I am using two different yarns, very similar in color, to meet the yarn quantity needs. This is my first time using the helical method. I will try to send photos of the results.

@TaraSykes3 Год назад

Thank you so much. That is the easiest helical tutorial I have seen that does not confuse me.

@GraceTheBabbler Год назад

im delighted!

@Ellinesscrafts 5 лет назад

This is brilliant! I’ve been alternating skeins and getting the line where I alternate each time. This is far better. Thank you.

@annmorris6575 5 лет назад

Thank You, Grace! I’m using this on a Sockhead hat where I’m using two different yarns. For the 4” rib, I carried the yarn. When I began the transition, I remembered your RU-vid post on the jogless join. I LOVE it! Now, the next time, I need to figure out how to do this on ribbing. ?? Move those 3sts knitwise or purlwise depending if it’s K part of the rib or P part of the rib? Just proves.....those little things in life can make such a big difference. 😊Thank you again, Ann

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Ann Morris yes!! That would work great! I think you could do it on ribbing no problem. I must test it out.

@Smuddpie 5 лет назад

You would want to slip the stitches purlwise regardless of the pattern so that their orientation is unchanged when you do actually come around and work them in pattern. Slipping purlwise does not change the stitch orientation on the needle while slipping knitwise does.

@GraceTheBabbler 5 лет назад

Smuddpie thank you. That really makes sense

@galeem713 2 года назад

Hi Grace ... just wondering ... how may I use this technique when there is a pattern in the knitting ... let’s say there are cables? I would appreciate your guidance 🙂

@emmac2254 4 года назад

This is fab - I have not yet found a solution to joggy stripes but this is brilliant! Thank you.

@AlwaysAlways2x 5 лет назад

Brilliant seeing this in action! Thank you Grace!! I was having difficulty imagining it, couldn’t get it right in my head. This solved that HUZZAH! 🧡

@TheRosewin 5 лет назад

I started using this after I saw it on your vlog. I was looking for a way to use up my sock yarn leftovers. It works beautifully. Yarn management is a bit of a pain with me, as I do two at a time and pull from inside and outside the cake. I get around it by having one of the colours split into two balls and I use yarn bowls. They are my at home projects because it's too much of a hassle when out. I keep meaning to post what I've done on Instagram and tag you but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hi Grace! I love this tutorial! I know just the basics in Knitting. I've only attempted to knit tiny projects such as hat and sweater sets for newborns. I was pleased with my work. I am a crocheter but have become a little bored with crochet and I want to try my hand at knitting. Knitting intimidates me (lol), but with teachers like you I know I can succeed in making something and completing it. Thank you for sharing and I have subscribed to your channel. I know you can be a BIG help to me.
