Magic Loop, colour work

Hi, I hope I can explain my query as clearly as possible! I’m following essentially a pretty simple knitting pattern making fingerless gloves in the round. I am using magic loop method, with only 2 colours to work with. so far so good. I have 66 stitches on the circ needle, therefore 33 each side. Question is, the pattern itself carries over eg, from stitch no. 33 to 34/35, precisely when I need to turn. What is the way forward on this, and, is there a good link to explain?

What is the name of your pattern?
The split in magic loop doesn’t have to be at the halfway point. You can shift it either way or change it from one round to the next. It could be 40/26 if that works with the design.
There’s also traveling loop which is what I use if I do magic loop.

Hi, thank you for replying. I get what you say ré shifting round, easily done I think. The pattern is one I bought in Loop of London, its called Pinwheel Mitts!

Ooh, nice!

Clever, didn’t realise they were on there. But then, everything is!
