Welcome to another episode with Arne & Carlos — and this time we are diving into INTARSIA KNITTING! 🧶
Intarsia is one of our favorite techniques for creating bold, graphic colorwork designs, and in this episode we finally show you how we work with it. We use our Zebra Sweater as an example and demonstrate how to change colors, manage your yarn, control your tension, and create clean transitions between colors.
If you have ever wondered how to knit intarsia, how to prevent holes when changing colors, or how to keep your tension even, this tutorial is for you!
We also talk about the difference between intarsia and traditional stranded colorwork, why we sometimes combine intarsia with duplicate stitch, and why intarsia can be especially useful when knitting large or complicated colorwork motifs back and forth.
🧶 In this Intarsia knitting tutorial:
• How to change colors using Intarsia
• How to twist yarns when changing colors
• How to avoid holes between color sections
• How to control your tension in Intarsia
• Working Intarsia on straight lines
• Working Intarsia on diagonal lines
• Managing multiple yarn bobbins and yarn bundles
• Fixing loose stitches from the back
• Combining Intarsia with duplicate stitch
• How to weave in Intarsia ends
• Tips for knitting graphic colorwork designs
• Our Zebra Sweater and how we designed it
One of the things we love about Intarsia is that it gives you the freedom to “paint” with yarn. Large motifs and detailed pictures can be much easier to create with Intarsia than with stranded knitting, especially when working flat.
And yes — there will be a lot of yarn hanging from your project! 😄 But don't worry. With a little patience and some practice, Intarsia knitting isn't as difficult as it looks.
If you'd like to see us take this technique even further, let us know!

My condolences to you both on the loss of your king, and, of course, Dolly. We all feel the loss. 😢 Sending love and hugs ❤
Also, sad regarding Dolly Parton's passing. A true human being, and a outstanding artist.
Further I am thinking of you Arne, after the passing of your dear Dolly Parton. Sending gentle hugs during challenging times, and warm wishes to thank you both for giving so many wonderful memories of learning moments together. You both are amazingly knowledgeable… mini encyclopedias of design, art, sewing, knitting, and any number of different types of subjects. During a time about 3 to 4 years ago, when I was as unwell, it seems we found each other. You helped me get out of pain long enough to learn to laugh and smell the roses. Arne you have taught me to do the best one can be and to enjoy your projects like a child… with total determination and joy in the process. In one vlog you share with us about your visit to the USA. If I remember correctly,Arne you were barely able to contain yourself through your working vacation… until the day came to visit Dolly Parton’s Dollywood in Tennessee. The vlog when you return home, where you start unpacking the treats you bought in your visit… Dolly cake, Dolly icing, Dolly anything and everything. You made me laugh until I cried. It was hilarious seeing Arne do things his way, whilst Carlos tried to be more sensible. Even what was happening behind the camera was hilarious because you want so much to have the viewers see one thing but with Arne’s innocence, joy and determination to make the cake be perfect, it was a perfect example of comical behaviour. The shaking of the camera while trying desperately not to, made the scenes even more hilarious. I, for one did not want the vlog to end.
Have a wonderful week ahead! ❤❤😘
❤❤
