When we knit in round we are generally knitting in spiral.aswe are knitting in single color we didn't notice much difference.
This method comes to great use when we want to knit single row stripes in round as in cap or maybe sweater etc .To knit single row stripes in flat or with two Needle we hsve to cut the wool after every row and have to weave in so much ends.
Tutorial
Let's say we have to knit single row stripes in three colours.in round.like the cap below.
..
Suppose we have to knit in 3. Colors red ,purpleand green.
Then we divide the no of stitches by three.and transfer it to three different dpns.insert a stitch marker to mark the starting and knit the stitches on 1st dpn with red,then change color and knit the stitches on second dpn with green and knit the stitches on third dpn with purple.
Now you have come to the start of second round.here you don't have to change color but start knitting the first dpn with same colour or purple.when you come to the end.you simply have to pick the red colour dangling already there and start knitting the second dpn as shown in fig.note,* when you change color you should not cross the yarns as you normally do when changing Colors in knitting .when you have to change color the other yarn is already there to be taken and knit.amd you continue.
This similar mehod can be modified accordingly to knit two ,four or multicolored single row stripes.Always remember that last dpn of the row and the first dpn of the next row is knit with same colour.
