2 Color Loop Stitch

 

Sample knit with DK yarn, US 8 needles

In my sample above, after my last repeat of the pattern, I worked Rows 1 and 2 once more, then worked the bind off so that the cast on and bind off edges match.

If you want the cast off edge worked in the second color, bind off after Row 6.  In the picture below, I've finished working Row 6 and would bind off at this point if I wanted the cast on and bind off edges to be different.

All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise, yarn in back

Multiple of 2 + 1

Row 1 (rs), Color A: knit

Row 2, Color A: purl

Row 3, Color B: k1 *sl 1, k1; rep from *

Row 4, Color B: k1 *sl 1, k1; rep from *

Row 5, Color B: knit

Row 6, Color B: purl

Row 7, Color A: k2, sl 1 *k1, sl 1; rep from * to last 2 sts, end k2

Row 8, Color A: p1, k1 *sl 1, k1; rep from * to last st, end p1

Repeat these 8 rows for the pattern.

Happy Knitting!

Bee Stitch in Two Colors

Sample knit with Debbie Bliss Amalfi on US Size 7 needles

This is just like single color Bee Stitch, except you will use a second color.  Very easy!

K1B is knit into the stitch below.  You may need to pull gently on your fabric to get into the stitch below - take a look at the next stitch on your left needle.  Then look right below it, and you will see the stitch below.  This is what you want to knit into.

Multiple of 2 + 1

Cast on with A
Knit two foundation rows.  This is the only time you will work these two rows.  After the foundation rows have been knit with color A, you will switch to your second color and begin the pattern as below.

Begin pattern:
Row 1: (B) K1 *K1B, K1*
Row 2: (B) Knit
Row 3: (A) K2, K1B *K1, K1B* end with K2
Row 4: (A) Knit

Repeat these four rows for the pattern.

Two Color Granite Stitch

Sample knit with worsted weight yarn on US Size 6 needles

I do not like colorwork, and rarely do it, except for the occasional stitch video.  This is a pretty stitch, and easy even for me.  You don't have to worry about carrying the color not in use, because it is picked up again on the return row of the color in use.  Does that make sense? :0)

yfwd = bring the yarn to the front of the work
ybk = take yarn to the back of the work
Sl = slip (as if to purl)

Multiple of 2 +1

Cast on using A

Row 1 (RS): Using A - Knit
Row 2: Using B - *K1, Sl 1*, end with K1
Row 3: Using B - *K1, yfwd, Sl 1, ybk*, end with K1
Rows 4 and 5: Using A - Knit
Row 6: Using B - K1 *K1, Sl 1*, end K2
Row 7: Using B - K2 *yfwd, Sl 1, ybk, K1*, end K1
Row 8: Using A - Knit

Repeat these eight rows for the pattern.
