Intarsia knitting creates a single layer of multi-colored fabric, as in a Christmas stocking with a jolly Santa motif, or a vertically striped sweater. Learn a variety of tricks to keep your Intarsia knitting on track and (mostly) tangle free, including preparing your materials, reading a chart, weaving in ends, and mastering duplicate stitch.
