Knitting Help - Helix Knitting (Jogless One-Round Stripes)

In this video I demonstrate a technique for working one-round stripes (think striped hat) with clean color changes. THE MATH: Take your total number of stitches, and divide that number by the number of colors you want to use in your stripes. In my sample, I have 72 stitches and 3 colors. 72 divided by 3 = 24, so I have 24 stitches between each of my markers. If the number of stripes you want to use don't divide evenly into your stitch count (ex, 80 stitches and three colors), that's okay. It isn't vital that the stitches between the markers are the exact same number of stitches - getting close is fine. In the example I just gave, I would put 28/26/26 stitches in my segments. The yarn in my "bad" example is leftover from my Om Shawl: www.ravelry.com/projects/verypink/om-shawl The yarn in my "good" sample is Berroco Vintage Worsted. The needles I use are all Knitter's Pride 16" circulars from interchangeable sets. My nail polish is Gelish, "I Or-kid You Not".
