Best Answer

There are basically three ways to do two (or more) color knitting:

1. horizontal stripes

2. stranded knitting, such as fairisle or jacard

3. intarsia

Intarsia in the round, while possible, is so incredibly frustrating you have to be a glutton for punishment to try it.

Stranded knitting in the round is pretty much the same, or slightly easier than stranded knitting in the flat.

So that leaves stripes in the round. The problem there is that each time you do a color change you get a little zig zag between the two colors that is unsightly. This is called a "jog."

There are several techniques for avoiding jogs. There are links below to two of the most popular.

Simply cut the old yarn and tie a new piece on with a different color. The stitches with finger knitting are so large weaving or "knitting in," is impractical. However, if you wanted to practice knitting in, simply hold both colors together and knit with both at the same time for two passes across the hand. Then cut the the old color and continue with just the new color alone.

How do you make colors by mixing paint?

Paint colors are made by adding pigment or colors to white paint. The more of a certain color you add the deeper that color becomes. You can mix colors to get different results. If you add yellow to a white base, you will get yellow paint. If you add yellow and red, you will get orange paint. The more of a certain color you add, the deeper that color is. Just like mixing salt in water. The more salt you add, the saltier the water gets. The more blue pigment you add the deeper the blue gets.
