Locked Floats

My favorite technique of all... 

​Reminders
  • In stranded knitting, the yarns do not wrap around each other
  • Every second stitch of the same color requires the floating (unused) yarn to be locked/trapped.
In these demonstrations
  • MC is held in the right hand
  • CC is held in the left hand
