You are very welcome. Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you so much for posting this-- it's the first video of this technique that has made sense to me! I decided I wanted a 1x1 ribbing in two colors on the cuff of these gloves I was working on, and when I tried I was either ending up with double knitting or loops of the wrong color in places because I wasn't putting the yarn to the other side at the right time. Plus the setup row was key! Thank you thank you thank you!

Oh I’m so glad you found this helpful. I’m sure your gloves will be beautiful. It is such a fun ribbing to do. Happy knitting!!

Excellent video. I just recommend use two different colors ( one if them very light) for a better contrast. 😉

Wow, thank you! Happy knitting!!

I made a pattern hat. For a boys hat I wanted the double sides already joined on the bottom seam using two colors so the long tail cast on worked great for that. From the cast on, I used the circular hat size of 10" to take loops off one side or one color of the cast on and used a bulky yarn piece to thread a needle to take the other color of the cast on. Loosely tie the ends of the bulky yarn with a slip knot when all done loading. One color of cast on on the circular needles. That way I only had to knit stich only, both colors, individually. No knit then purls. Knit only for both colors. Thank you for the encouragement. It was snug and warm.

Thank you for the tutorial! How would I cast off the ribbing?

Excellent question. You can actually do just a regular bind off where you would knit your first stitch with color 1, then purl the next stitch with color 2, then pass the knit stitch over the purl stitch like you would do with a regular bind off, and continue in that fashion. That will however produce a bind off that is two colors. If you want a one color bind off that would match more the cast on which is a one color cast on, you could do a set up row before you bind off of just simply knitting the entire row with color 1, and then bind off with a regular bind off with color 1. Then you would have a solid color in color 1 for your bind off. Either method will work, just depends on your preference. Hope that helps. Happy knitting!

Thank you for the tutorial! Great tip to do it both hands! I have a question though, if I’ve been working on single colour 1x1 rib and then I want to do two colour 1x1 rib, do you think I should do one line of knitting like you did?

Excellent question. Yes, If you switch over to do two color ribbing from one color ribbing, complete your first round when you change colors by knitting every stitch, but alternating colors. Then the next round you can do the K1, P1 sequence every other color. This will prevent two colors showing on the right side in that purl row. Thanks for reaching out. Happy knitting!

How does it work if you knit flat

@jacqknits

Жыл бұрын

Great question. You would do the set up rows as is shown in the video. But when you are knitting the wrong side rows, you would keep the yarn in which you are purling always at the front of the work. The yarn that you need to work the knit stitches you would move to the back of your work when you do that knit stitch, but bring that yarn back to the front when you do the next purl stitch. So when you are purling, both color yarns are at the front of your work. Does that make sense? Hope that is helpful. Happy knitting.

Could this work with 3 colors?

@jacqknits

Hmmm, this may be kind of tricky. Since this is a one by one ribbing, you would need to have your color B and C be alternating for just the knit stitches and your color A be constant for all the purl stitches or vice versa. You would need to hold colors B and C together in one hand to alternate and color A in the other hand. It may be a bit tricky to get the colors B and C started with your first knit row (you would still need to knit all your stitches for your first multi-color round). Also since you are knitting with color B and C only every 4th stitch you will have long floats in the back of your work. That may be a bit messy for your backside. You may want to give it a try to see if it works. I have not tried it myself. Again, may be a bit tricky to coordinate the 3 colors, but worth giving it a go.

Hm, I’m using this ribbing for a pair of socks(cuff only) but find it not as flexible and that it rolls over easily. Anyone else got this problem?

You could try doing a few rounds of garter stitch at the top to prevent the curling.
