Hello all, I am trying to make my Dad a new set of golf club covers. I am using the Lion Brand pattern and have made a stripe in the ribbing for the club number. Now I would like to knit in the number of the club but I am knitting in the round. Question part: How do I get the yarn back to where I start the second row of color?
I have not changed colors much while knitting because I don't think that I am doing it right.
Thanks in advance for all your help. Carol in TN
Thank you for the link. I will have to study this more later when I have more time but it seems that this is just what I needed. Thanks again, Carol in TN
Thanks for this idea. This should work. And, of course you are right about there not being any small fingers to get caught. hehe Carol in TN
Carol, I would just do the covers first in the background color and then add the numbers in a contrasting color with the duplicate stitch.
Just embroider the number over the knitted part , mirjam

Since I don't have the pattern available, I'd need a little more info before I'd hazzard a response, Carol! Is it intarsia-like, or is it just a stripe? One of the responses seemed screwy to me, like perhaps it's embroidered??? Confused. Noreen
This link should explain the technique.
If the number isn't very wide, you can just strand the yarn across the back and pick it up to knit again when you come around to need it. This leaves loops across the back where the number is, but golf clubs don't have fingers to get caught in small loops.
If the number is wide, or is repeated once on each side, you can knit it like fairisle, catching the unused main color yarn in the backs of the stitches of the background color in the areas where you aren't using it on the front. Of course this isn't intarsia but it works.
