What should I know about knitting with two colors of yarn?

Answer by  liblady (366)

There are two main ways to incorporate colors: blocks of color (intarsia) or stitches that alternate often (fairisle). For both, make sure your stitches are clean and that your wrong side work is tidy, as this ensures that your pattern is clear and your yarn is carried over properly.

First of all, make sure the two color are attractive together. Then have the correct size of needles for the weight of the yarn. Put the two skeins or balls of yarn in two separate plastic bags so they do not get tangled together. And as you knit, be sure that you are picking up both yarns as you knit.
