Class Description
Helix is an amazing technique for working in the round. Its main advantage is that it eliminates the jogs at the beginning of the rounds. This is very handy while knitting texture stitch patterns and color stripes.
1. In the theoretical part, the double helix principle will be explained, as well as the anti-helix—it is a very easy new method of working brioche rib in the round without purls, using one or two colors. The technique has never been published before.
2. In the practical part you will learn how to work without jogs in the following stitch patterns: stockinette stripes; garter stitch unicolored, one-row and two-row stripes; brioche rib and honeycomb brioche; Chinese wave and big herringbone (twice knit stitch).
The handout includes the instructions for the technique for different stitch patterns.
Technique Requirements: cast on/bind off, knit/purl, brioche, knitting in the round. You should be comfortable working smal-diameter tubes easily.
