I don’t tend to knit a lot of stripes; they’re not something I’ve ever worn and although I don’t wear most of what I design, they’re not really something I want to design with often, either! That said, I do get the urge to created stripey Hats from time to time but one thing that stops that happening is the lack of a good jogless stripe method.
I’ve taught a few methods over the years and my favourite is probably the travelling jogless stripe method used in my Anca’s beret pattern. This method I’m sharing today I tried out on the new free Striped Slouch pattern, and it didn’t fair to badly.
I used a grippy 100% Peruvian wool for these samples, ‘Unplugged Light’ from Molly Girl Yarn – your stripes may lay differently with a smoother or grippier yarn.

That’s a neat trick. thank you.
You’re welcome! I hope it helps – removing the jog in stripes makes all the difference.
