In this video, I demonstrate how to correct the “stair-steppy” jog you get when knitting stripes in the round, demonstrated in slow-motion. 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:
Knitter’s Pride Ginger 16″
Knitter’s Pride Zing 16″

If you are working one round stripes, the technique is different. For clean one-round stripes, you want to use the Helix Knitting technique.

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 2×2
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.
