Double knitting is a unique method of making a knitted fabric with no 'wrong' side. Significantly different from other colorwork methods, double knitting creates a pattern on both sides of the fabric with the colors reversed. In Part 3 of this 3-part series, you’ll learn to work decreases and increases in double knitting. You’ll put those decreases to work as you shape the crown of your hat.
Important Workshop Details:
Worsted weight yarn: about 25g each of 2 different colors for practicing techniques. About 100g each of 2 different colors for the hat. Needles: Size US 7 (4.5mm) or US 8 (5mm) straight or circular needles for practice. Size US 5 (3.75mm) circular needle 16” long and set of double pointed needles for hat. Notions: Stitch marker, scissors, highlighter tape or other method of tracking progress on a knitting chart, knitting thimble or yarn guide (optional).
