Knitting Help - Slow Motion Correcting Color-Change Jog

In this video, I demonstrate how to correct the "stair-steppy" jog you get when knitting stripes in the round. For one-round stripes, see the link below for Helix Knitting.

The other videos in my slo-mo series can be found here:

The yarn I use for demonstration is Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Chunky.
The needles I use are from interchangeable sets:

The hooded cape on the mannequin is Lost in a Dream Cape from Kraemer Yarns:

The hat I use for demonstration is just something I made up for the video. Here are the quick instructions to make this baby hat, because I know someone will ask. :)
Fits 0-8 mo
Bulky yarn, size US 10 (6mm) needles.
CO 60, work 5 rounds 2x2
change color and knit 4 rounds
alternate color every 4 rounds until hat measures 5" from cast-on edge (that was the ribbing plus 4 rounds of stripes or 16 rounds, for me). On the last round of this section, place a marker every 12 stitches.
Decreasing
Round 1: *k2tog, k to 2 stitches before marker, ssk, sm* repeat between markers to end of round.
Round 2: knit
Repeat these two rounds until 10 stitches remain, k2tog around, knit 1 round. Cut yarn and string through the remaining 5 stitches.

Thank you so much for your helpful and concise videos! Your channel is always the first place I go for content to help me become a better knitter with whatever project I'm working on.

Hello from Nova Scotia! I am knitting my first 2 colour toque for my Granddaughter. I have seen a couple tutorials about jogging. But, I must say this is the best one I have seen. I have a YouTuber friend & she told me about you. I am so grateful for that. Thank you so much for showing me in slow mode. It made it so much easier for me. I know I will be back. :)

You have helped me become a better, more confident knitter. I just can't thank you enough!

Thank you so much for the slow motion videos! As new knitter, I need to see the process in slow motion.

Thanks for this video. It's given me what i need to know to knit with multiple colors. Yours is the channel I always come to as my learning resource.

[janetsmith]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am a very visual learner for sure. I learn so much from your videos. Thumbs up!

Idk what I’d do without you 😂 thanks so much for posting this video!

This is extremely helpful to me. I have been knitting the two different colors together for several stitches and then dropping the old color and moving forward—-secure but does show up on the finish stock. The idea of tying a knot for the two in the back is something I have not ever done. I always thought knots were a big no-no however I will try this. Thank you very very much. PS the slow motion helps me

I have come across your site for the first time now. I have been a knitter since I am 13 and now a well seasoned senior. I knit on and off when I have time but want you to know that you site has renewed my interest big time. I was asked to make a baby sweater for a newborn or maybe a 6 month old an now with your site I will feel confident that I won't take on anything I can't finish. Not only are you beautiful, lovely but your site is just incredible with the opportunity to follow on the slow motion end. Thank you so much. I must ask about the yarn you mention as I am not aware of that brand. It seems it is not sold in any of the leading craft or knitting shops I know on Long Island. There is one slow motion I do not see that I would like to and that is the casting on which, I believe starts with just one strand and not having to leave a long tail.  

Once again, thank you.Edye

I’ve seen this before, always amazes me how simple but effective it is.

[jeanchiusano]

Thank you for the great tip. I never knew that. Now my hats will look much neater. Thank you again💕

[joanieliza]

Love your videos and I have learned so many techniques from you . I follow you on insta 📷 and love your quilt hanging on fireplace classy! 👌... oh and the dogs too!! I just self taught myself provisional cast on. Knitting love notes sweater and starts out with provisional and I didn’t use waste yarn and used too big of circulars to make a join duh! Learning curves but it’s all good ! Thanks for video on colour jog!
