In general, I believe that this method produces a less-visible jog than the YO Method. This method DOES move the beginning of round on stitch to the left. This can make it challenging if there’s any shaping done as well.

How to Work

One complete round will have been worked in the new color.

Next Stitch: Knit the stitch 1 below. This is a difficult thing to work with the yarn tails and loose stitches at the beginning and end. Given that, I suggest placing the Right Leg of the stitch that’s one below on the Left Needle and place that leg up and on the Left Needle.

Here’s what it looks like when you’re done:

About the Instructor: Jody Richards

Jody is the founder and lead editor of Knotions. She loves poring over stitch dictionaries and trying out new stitches. And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).

She’s a serial starter-of-projects and has a serious problem with finishing things without a deadline.

And don’t get her talking about hand-dyed yarns.  You’ve been warned.
