Universal Techniques to Start Stranding
Meet Mary Jane Mucklestone and start class by learning foundational techniques that make stranding fun! You’ll discover the history of this method before discovering how to cast on, work a sturdy ribbing in the round and interpret stranded colorwork charts.
Stranding Diagonal Stripes
Work your first pattern, a mesmerizing diagonal stripe, with Mary Jane’s tips for stranding two colors that travel in the same row. Then you’ll learn about yarn dominance and how it can help make your stitches pop.
Short Floats & Small Motifs
After learning how to knit with two colors, you’ll discover even more options for small motifs: the dainty dots and checkerboard squares. Mary Jane will show you how to create even, beautiful designs by checking tension on the backside of your work.
Changing Colors
Ready for more color contrast? You’ll work larger motifs that play with color tone and design by creating solid colored circles on a two color background. Then, switch up shapes with two-colored triangles on a solid background to add variety to your projects.
Traditional Stranded Motifs
Begin modernizing traditional motifs by making them bigger and bolder. With Mary Jane’s guidance, you’ll create a beautiful star motif as you learn how to read the intricate chart and trap your floats.
Stranded Texture: Corrugated Ribbing
Wrap up class by finishing a sampler cowl with an eye-catching corrugated ribbing edge, a stranded texture you can use just about anywhere! Finally, Mary Jane will show you how to block your work when it’s knit in the round and share exciting, inspiring project ideas.
