How To Knit Jogless One Row Stripes

Hello, friends! If you’re anything like me, you can’t stand imperfections in your knitting. Let’s talk about jogs for a second. When you’re knitting in the round, you’re knitting a continuous spiral, so your end of the round stitches end up slightly higher than the stitches at the beginning, causing a not-so-pretty jog in the knitting. One row stripes can be a little tricky to appear seamless, so I thought I’d make a little tutorial showing how I knit my stripes to share with you!

I’m using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, and my basic pom pom beanie pattern. Find the free pattern here!

Let’s get started…

When you join a new color (shown in black), knit one round until you get back to the first black stitch.

Using your right needle, lift the stitch below your next stitch…

… and place it on your left needle.

Then, still using the black yarn, knit these two stitches together.

Done!

Switch to your next stripe color (shown in white), and knit around until you get back to the first white stitch.

Then repeat what you did before – lift the stitch below that first white stitch, place it on the left needle and knit them together (still using the white yarn).

Each stripe will begin one stitch to the left of the stripe below it, so your yarn is carried diagonally across the inside of the work.

The innards.

Seamless!

I hope you have found this tutorial helpful! I’d love to see your finished knits – tag me on Instagram and use the hashtag #kniftyknittings! Feel free to share this tutorial with your friends – pin the image below!
