When you’re working with a color
pattern in which there are more than
4 stitches between color changes or
more than two colors per row, you need
to carry the non-working yarn along
the back by weaving it in and out of the
backs of every few stitches made in the
working yarn. How you do this
depends on whether you’re knitting or
purling, as well as on which hand is
holding the working yarn and which is
holding the weaving yarn.
You should hold yarn A, the working yarn, in your right hand, English style, and
yarn B, the yarn that will be woven in back, in your left hand, Continental style.
1 Insert the right needle into the next stitch on the left needle. Move your
finger to bring yarn B from back to front and lay it against the tip of the
right needle. Wrap yarn A as usual to prepare to knit the stitch.Weave Yarns in Color Knitting.
2 Knit the stitch.
3 Move your finger to bring yarn B away from the needles as usual. When you
knit the next stitch, yarn B gets caught under the horizontal bar between this
new stitch and the last stitch.
