How to carry yarn up the side of your work

This is for when you want to knit with more than 1 colour. It’s a great way to switch between colours without having to cut and weave in every time you switch colours.

The easiest way to be changing yarn colours while knitting is to do it at the beginning of the right side of your work. So, all of your yarn tails are going to be on the right side. When you switch your yarn colour, you are starting on the right side of your work, which is the front of your work.

When starting a new row on the Right Side of your work, take the yarn that you’d like to carry up. Make sure that you place it over your working yarn. That’s the yarn that you plan to keep on knitting. You place it over and then when you knit with your working yarn.

Go ahead and knit through your working yarn. This is catching your yarn, it’s also called twisting. And we’ll just continue knitting all the way across the row. Knit the next row as you normally would, the REPEAT these steps each time you begin a new row on the right side of your work.
