I’ve almost finished my purple and black scarf. I took the white yarn at the end out and left only the purple. As a result I have a bit of purple yarn left at the starting end of the scarf and I would like to use it to add a few more rows before binding off.
My problem is: how? Is it at all possible? Do I just knit the rest of the yarn off normally or would it look different because I’ll be knitting in the wrong direction?
Let me know if you need a close up picture or ask me if I’ve not explained myself properly.
You have live stitches there? You might be able to notice a difference, but it won’t be so noticeable that anyone else would. Just knit the other way. If you don’t like it, you can always go back, but I don’t think you’d have a problem.
If the end is bound off, you can either pick up stitches and continue to knit–you’ll have a seam on the back. Or you can pick out the bind off and get back to your live stitches and continue to knit.
I continued to knit from live stiches but they were tighter than my new ones so, I undid the whole purple section and I’ll redo it when I’m left with the same amount of purple yarn on the other end.
