Hobbii - Yarn, Patterns & Accessories
Hobbii is the one stop shop for yarn lovers around the world ๐ We have all you need for your next kni
Youโve been there .. your old sweaters are just lying in your closet, and you donโt really use them anymore, right?! Well, thatโs no way to treat your pretty sweaters โฆ just leaving them there ๐ฅน๐ฎ๐
BUT, outdated sweaters (or slipovers) are a thing of the past! ๐ We made a video showcasing 3 fun ways to upcycle your old sweaters and slipovers:
1. Beads
2. Adding new details/stripes/wow-effects with contrasting colors or details with glitter yarn
3. Embroidery with Duplicate Stitching
3 very simple methods that are easy to do at home AND donโt require you to buy tons of new products - one way is to just use some of your scrap yarn! Thatโs a win-win situation, right?! ๐ฅฐ๐๐งถโจ
Which of the 3 ways do you think is more fun? And do you have any other fun techniques that you use to upcycle your clothes? We really want to hear about them in the comments๐๐๐ค
Do you love sweaters with interesting designs as much as we do?! ๐๐ Then letโs talk about stripes.
Stripes are a super simple design choice, and they can really spice up the look of your sweater!! Aaaaaand, since itโs ""Knit a sweater month"", we thought that it would be fitting to give you a little sweater tip - a stripe tip โจ๐ฆ๐
Depending on what kind of look youโre going for, a jogless color change in the knit stripes can look incredible ๐๐คฉ Therefore, weโve tried to explain and show you how to make those jogless stripes... ๐๐๐
How do you feel about stripes? Do you prefer the color change to be visible or invisible, or does it depend on the project?
Please tell us your thoughts in the comments ๐โจ
How to:
1. At the start of your round, switch to your next color by adding the new yarn.
2. Knit a round using the new color.
3. When youโve knit all stitches and find yourself back at the first stitch of the round, lift the right leg of the stitch from the previous round onto your left needle. This is done by working your needle into the right leg of the stitch purlwise and then lifting the stitch onto the left needle.
4. Now, knit these two stitches together.
5. Continue knitting following your pattern - and notice what a beautiful and โinvisibleโ color change youโve made ๐ฅโจ

๐ก TUESDAY TIP ๐ก
Cast on with two needles ๐ฅณ
If you often notice that your first row ends up too tight when youโre starting a new project, then it may be a good idea for you to cast on with two needles instead of one ๐ก
By casting on with two needles, you avoid over-tightening the stitches, and itโll be a lot more fun to work the first row ๐๐
