The Latvian braid is a super simple way to add vertical cables in two colors to your knitting. Basically, it's 2 rows of reverse stockinette stitch where you intentionally twist the yarns in front of your work with each stitch. The trick is to always pick up the same the exact same way whenever you switch colors.
You can also knit it in the Latvian braid in the round. In this case, you have to pick up the yarn from below in the first round and from above in the second round - or vice versa.

    A really interesting stitch technique with a lovely result. I will definitely have to give it a try sometime, once I'm more confident knitting with two colors at once. Thank you, Norman, for always inspiring me to try new techniques. 💜✌️🧶

    Hi Norman. Great tutorial! I love the Latvian Braid! It’s so decorative and pretty. I’ve never seen it done using dpns, only flat and fixed circulars. Very interesting! I also really like your twist and weave method for joining new yarn. I’m definitely going to give that a try after rewatching your video on the technique. It seems very secure. Thank you for another great tutorial.❤

    Thank you Norman. I did Latvian Braid last year for a Xmas Stocking Ornament. Oh Boy, was having problems with tangled yarn. Instead of making 2, guess what... I ended with 1 only. Will have to try your method to make the 2nd pair 😅. Wish me luck ❤❤❤

    yeah..it can be quite a problem....but just pull out a very long length of yarn and try push the twist further down. that typically helps.

    I love the colors you chose - Intentional Ukraine support or just a happy coincidence either way they look great and make it very easy to follow the stitches as you do them.

    while I definitely am supportive of the cause, this is a happy coincidence. I picked these colors because there are most likely to work for a wide range of colorblind people.

    Hello Norman! I was just curious, how stretchy is the braid? I think it would look nice as a waistband on a dress if it can stretch. Thank you for this lovely tutorial!
