Stranded knitting is a technique used in knitting where two or more colors of yarn are worked in the same row. This method creates patterns and designs by carrying the unused yarn across the back of the work. The result is a colorful fabric with intricate motifs, often seen in traditional Fair Isle designs. In stranded knitting, it’s important to maintain an even tension to avoid puckering. Knitters typically use a technique called "carrying" to manage the yarns, ensuring that the colors alternate smoothly. This technique is popular for making items like sweaters, hats, and scarves.
