Whilst jogless stripes are the most well-known application of helical knitting, I have become captivated with other possibilities for helical stitch patterns. Working helically is just (in my humble opinion) a heap of fun. It’s satisfying and simple, and at the same time can create quite complex fabrics with a minimum of fuss.

Helical knitting is sometimes a solution to a problem, but in other situations it’s just an elegant approach to a stitch pattern.
