About the video: Increases, read diagrams and knit with two colors
Overview
“In this lesson you will know what increases are, how to work them and how they work in a circular diagram. In addition, you will learn to weave in two colors. It is true that in previous lessons we have worked the increases in the first rounds (through a written pattern), but in this lesson you will go up a new step and you will be introduced to the technique of circular diagrams to know how the increases are distributed to along a broader basic pattern. You will see how they work with more than one color in spiral pieces and in pieces where we close each turn. I will explain to you how the increases are distributed in a basic pattern and you will begin to introduce a new thread and make color changes working in a spiral and closing each round. In the additional resources I leave you two PDFs expanding information on this lesson for both left-handed and right-handed users. ”
In this video lesson Poetryarn addresses the topic: Increases, read diagrams and knit with two colors, which is part of the Domestika online course: Circular Tapestry: Design Patterns and Accessories. Get started in this textile technique and learn the key concepts for weaving your own fashion complements.
