Ladderback Jacquard knitting tutorial for stranded knitting
Ladderback Jacquard is a great technique for catching long floats in stranded knitting so they don't show through on the other side. This tutorial will explain why I recommend using it, and how to work it both flat and in the round. I also share a technique that makes it easier for telling apart your ladderback jacquard stitches from your regular stitches, to help you avoid mixing them up and messing up your color chart!

    Hi! I would just like to say that I don't think the Hourglass sweater you mention at 6:54 is actually available? I cannot find it, and several other people on the Raverly page say the same thing. The only thing I've found about it is a list of corrections, along other corrections for other patterns. I saw in the projects that some people have completed the sweater after 2018 (when I think it was pulled from the internet), but I'm not sure where or how long they've had the pattern. Did you find the pattern? Thanks:)

      by braid design, do you mean the v-shaped stitches? that's called a "knit" stitch :) and yes you totally can, just follow the beginning steps with your needles, and skip the chapters "knitting in the round" and "casting off in the round"

    • @starcrossedknits
      @starcrossedknits Před 16 dny

      Aw I'm so glad! Yep the bust sizes in the chart are the finished size. The sweater doesn't have any bust shaping for instance, but I haven't designed mens' sweaters before so I'm not 100% sure on what qualifies something as gender neutral or not.. I would check against the sizing chart, and if you want to adjust I'm happy to help advise (eg for broader shoulders, larger biceps, longer arms, whatever)!

    When picking up stitches do you still pick up one stitch on the point where the v-neck starts?

    • @starcrossedknits
      @starcrossedknits Před měsícem

      by “where the v-neck starts” do you mean the bottom of the v neck like at the front? if so then yes. if you mean where the front shoulder stitches meet the back of the neck, then no you could skip a stitch there

      @@MyYvonne45 personally i did not- but i did block my gauge swatches, for both the cardigan and the double-knitting gauge swatch (as many people have different tension in double knitting, and you want the row gauge to match or you want to pick up according to the row gauge ratio). i prefer to block once everything is complete!

    There was a sweater designed from this tapestry back in the 1980s. It won a contest in a major knitting/craft magazine of the time. I believe Perry Ellis also put out a sweater at the time that had the unicorn from this tapestry on it, too. What’s old is new again.

    • @bigblackdogfiberarts

      i saw that one, someone posted it on reddit sometime last year! love that this tapestry has been inspiring fiber & textile fans for decades, it’s such a special piece! i was a big fan of it for many years before i ever picked up a knitting needle. personally i am really drawn to the density of all the flowers in the garden so the 80s one didn’t speak to me quite as much, its more spaced out with large flowers

      @starcrossedknits Před měsícem

      it looks like stockinette stitch, but lays flat (unlike stockinette, which curls). so it's a nice option when you don't want the look of a ribbed button band :) i think it adds a really nice and neat looking finished edge

    I’m with you on the requested gift knits. I used to do them. That stopped when I realized how much I hated the process of knitting for someone else when I have a TBK list a mile long full of projects that I want to knit for myself. I mean to hate yourself for saying yes at every other stitch is wild! But the lesson learned had staying power. I even had to put my foot down with a boss who tried to gaslight me into knitting her a replica of a scarf that took me forever to knit in fingering weight yarn. 🤨 It’s the feeling entitled to other people’s hard work and precious time for me! Forget your money! Chiiilllleeee!

    Thank you for this video. What I don't understand is how you pick up stitches around the entire band from one bottom edge all the way around the neck to the other bottom edge all at one time. Would you not need a very long cable on your needles. I have yet to see a tutorial where they have shown the process of picking up around the entire neck so I'm having trouble picturing how it is done. Your tutorial is the best I have seen so far but I wish it had shown an entire garment with all of the stitches picked up.

    • @starcrossedknits
      @starcrossedknits Před 3 měsíci

      Yes you do need a long cable! I would use a 40" (100cm) cable. If you don't have a cable long enough, you can also pick it up across multiple needles, like when one cable length runs out then just switch to the next needle, though that does need you to have multiple circular needles that are close in needle size to each other. I hear you though, sorry I wasn't able to include that in this tutorial!
