Yarn Tales Stitchwork: Chain Knitting
Chain Knitting makes three strands of yarn from a single ball of yarn, without having to cut the yarn up into three separate balls of yarn. It’s an amazing way to take full advantage of the colorway of a single ball of yarn. The US 35s and 50s make the stitches so big that all that blending and mixing of the colorway, in the planned sequence of the colorway, combined with the textures of the three strands of yarn, makes for the most stunningly beautiful scarves, wraps, and afghans. And because it’s still just from a single strand of yarn, it’s very easy to keep joining one skein to the next to make the piece as long as you need. For the multicolored blanket shown here, all I have to do is go back to my LYS and get another skein and add it in until it’s the right length, which means that it’s also a really good way to use up my left over yarn.
