Hello! I am knitting a hat in the round that has a color chart. I know about floats and such but what should I do if I have a few entire rows of one color? Should I still carry floats or just do the one color with out bringing the other color along?
Thanks.
I suppose it’s personal preference … you could [B]1)[/B] continue to weave the two colors across each of these rows (I prefer weaving so that each strand is “captured” and long floats are avoided), or you could [B]2)[/B] just knit these rows using the one color and then carry the second color up the side - you would then just pick up the second color again when you are ready to start a row that includes that color.
Personally, if you’re going to be knitting a few rows using only one solid color I would choose option 2 and carry the second color up the side. ![]()
Good luck whichever you choose! :knitting:
Thanks… I might try the weaving but the floats are just a few stitches long!
