Double knitting is a unique method of making a fabric with no 'wrong' side. Significantly different from the standard intarsia and Fair Isle colorwork and brioche, double knitting makes a pattern on both sides of the fabric with the colors inverted. You'll learn a 2-color cast-on for double-knitting, get comfortable with the techniques involved, then move into colorwork and end with decreases in pattern. We’ll practice on scrap yarn and then put our new skills to work by starting a hat. The hat pattern will be provided by the instructor.
Worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors; about 50 gr each color for the hat, plus extra for practice. Please be sure to choose colors with high contrast. 16” circular knitting needles US size 7 for hat, and an extra set of size US 7 or 8 for practice. Stitch markers, scissors, highlighter tape (or other method of tracking progress on a chart), note taking supplies.
