How to Knit: Stripes (Part I) For Beginners

This is the first part of my mini video series all about how to knit  stripes (in flat knitting). This knitting tutorial is aimed at beginners  and covers 2 slightly different ways of adding a different colour yarn  into your knitting at the start of a row.

One  way weaves in the yarn tail as you knit, and the other requires you to  weave the yarn tail in separately later on.  Both ways require the yarn  to be cut after knitting the stripe (rather than 'carrying yarn' up the  side of your knitting to be used again in due course).

The next videos will deal with how to carry yarn up the side of your knitting.  I hope this video is useful to you...
