Description: This is yet one more video in my Complete Intarsia tutorial, including how to work intarsiaintheround. I attempt to bring all the ideas and techniques together as a final review.

Here is the link to the entire playlist for the tutorial:

Here is my "improved magicloop" video that I mention:

Index to topics in this video:

0:05 Introduction
0:56 Introduce the chart
2:11 Color code the chart
6:57 Mark the stitches where the chart will be worked
9:59 Begin working the chart by working a short row turn at the position of the rightmost color change on the right side of Row 1 and then purl those remainder of that row and around
11:05 Work Row 1 of the chart, starting each color strand as the chart specifies
13:57 Reverse directions at the end of round on Row 1 (the detailed explanation is put off until later)
14:30 My observation that small pieces like this are harder than large pieces like a sweater
16:28 Work normal color changes across Row 2 of the chart
17:55 After making the final color change on Row 2 (again without detailed explanation), observe how knitting around the back works
22:10 Reverse directions to work Row 3 (finally explaining in detail here)
24:56 Make some detailed observations that will become important for comparison when we are working in the other direction
28:51 Work with the locked loop of yarn at the end of Row 3 for the first time, then work the change of direction from purling to knitting Row 4 at that color change (important detailed explanation)
34:46 Work the last color change at the left of the chart on Row 4 (with detailed explanation this time)
37:48 Complete Row 4 and turn to begin Row 5
38:22 An important point: Pay attention to which yarn is used on the NEXT row, not the previous row
41:39 Beginning Row 5 of the chart (perhaps the clearest explanation so far about using the locked loop to work the final section of a row)
43:42 Changing directions to begin Row 6 (the clearest explanation of how the long loop around the back is trapped)
46:39 Work the color change at the left end of the chart on Row 6 (explaining what you should do but not doing it this time so you can see how it works out anyway later)
49:37 Close up the loop at the end of that round and see the problem and how to fix it
51:42 Jump to the direction change from Row 15 to Row 16, showing how a color change moving to the left in the chart works. Then complete Rows 16, 17, and 18 for further demonstration (but nothing new is presented)
1:05:00 MOST IMPORTANT: New instructions to return to knitting in the round after the chart is completed
1:12:00 Presenting the butterfly intarsia image on my sweater I'm preparing for the Spring 2023 issue of Cast On magazine (declaring that working it was less confusing than working this little sample piece!)
1:14:50 Conclusion and invitation to Phrancko.com
