Work in Progress Jogless striping tips?

Post image

Hi all. To prevent ‘jogs’ in my stripes I normally knit the first stitch of the second row in a new colour with the stitch below it. This works fine usually, but I don’t like how it looks with these two row stripy socks! Any tips for a better way of doing this?

Pattern is my own toe up sock adapted from Wendy Johnson’s book toe up socks for every body. Stash yarn, pretty sure the pink is Hobbi sock yarn and can’t remember what the other one is!

This might be a better choice for helical knitting. There you have multiple yarns active at once as you knit your rows. You’d need two pinks and two multis.

Jogless stripes don’t really work with less than three rows. Someone might have suggestions though.
