How to Add Color to Cables with Intarsia

Add a second color to your cables with intarsia, starting the colored cable legs at the same time as the cable-flare increases. Two ways shown on swatches from the Cable Pillow Tutorial: lifted increases with one strand per leg, and M1 increases with a folded strand, shown Continental. In this tutorial you will learn: • How to start a contrast color on the increase row right after the cast on • How to work sequential lifted increases in the new color • How to cross the yarns on the wrong side so the colored legs have no holes • How to fold one strand in half so two cable legs share it (no extra tails) • How to work M1L, M1R and M1 purlwise while adding color • How to keep each cable leg in its own color as you follow the chart Time stamps 00:00 Welcome 00:53 Intarsia in cables (Cable Pillow Tutorial) 01:16 Chart: increasing for cable flare while adding a color 01:39 Sequential increases review 02:18 How to add a second color 02:40 Lifted increases on the chart 02:59 Stitch by stitch: chart and work 03:58 Lifted increases in the main color 04:26 Knitting with the second color 04:42 Review: increasing and adding color 05:39 Working back after adding color 07:16 Second panel: adding color 07:36 Make 1 (M1) on the chart 08:00 Cable legs on the chart and the work 08:25 M1 purlwise in the main color 08:51 M1R and M1L in the contrast color 10:01 Main color on main color, contrast on contrast 11:21 Review: adding color and increases Related videos • Sequential lifted increases for
