This class will take you on a journey of learning a beautiful and useful technique of double knitting. It can be done with one or many colors. Double knitting creates a two-layer reversible fabric while working on one needle. It hides the wrong sides and you can make the same or different pattern on each side. We will start a small scarf in class and you can finish it at home. Are you intrigued? Well, sign up for this class and learn the following skills:
-
Creating an even cast-on
-
Setting up of your stitches at the beginning
-
Creating a double-knitted fabric
-
Reading and following a chart
