Double Knitting - Knitting Community Double knitting is the exception to many knitting rules. You can double knit a stockinette scarf, and it will lay flat instead of curling. Color knitting will be reversible, showing a negative of the image on the back of the work instead of floats. How is this possible? Double knitting produces a fabric with the right sides showing on both sides of the work. This technique is fun to do and produces a thick fabric that is ideal for winter accessories, hot pads, and there are even patterns for double knit sweaters! Cast on Cast on with double the number of stitches The cabled cast on is great for double knitting because it creates a flexible edge. Cast on with yarn held double You could also use the cast on of your choice, but with the yarn held double. How to Double Knit Single color double knitting instructions Double knitting with one color in the front and one color in the back Bring both yarns to the front and purl the next stitch with only the contrast color
Decreases revisited: Techniques with Theresa, Fall 2009 by Theresa Vinson Stenersen Decreases Revisited I talked a bit about decreases waaaaaaay back in the spring of 2003. Thankfully, I've learned a bit since then and would like to use this opportunity to be a bit more thorough. You deserve as much! ...where a combination of increases (usually yarn overs) and decreases make beautiful and interesting shapes. K2tog is as simple as it sounds: simply knit two stitches at the same time, precisely the same way you would normally knit one. To line up a decrease so that it makes a tidy sloping line, you'll need to learn to identify the stitch that is the result of the previous decrease. The above illustration shows the following: Row 2: k2, k2tog Row 4: k1, k2tog Learning to "see" the stitches that should be worked together will liberate you from dependence on stitch markers and save you from having to constantly count stitches to know when it's time to decrease. Passing the slipped stitch over... ...is somewhat tidier.
Slip Stitch Dishtowels These dishtowels look really complicated to make, don’t they? I love that because, just like you want hard things to look easy, it’s a great coup to make easy things look difficult! These three stitch patterns all come from Barbara Walker’s classic Treasury of Knitting Patterns and are created by the simple technique of hiding yarns behind slipped stitches. There’s no tricky stranding or two-hand knitting or even issues of tension; there’s just the easy matter of slipping stitches and watching as amazing patterns emerge! Slip stitch color patterns are terrific for scarves (check out Laura’s gorgeous Reversible Stripes Scarf), sweaters, blankets and even dishtowels. And for a yarn that would match these hard-working stitch patterns I chose Louet’s Euroflax 100% linen. You can pick up all the Euroflax linen you’ll need with our Yarn for Slip Stitch Dishtowels kit. Either way, happy slip stitching! Materials Indigo: 2 skeins of Cream, 1 skein of Caribbean Blue and 1 skein of Navy Gauge Size

Knitting With Circular Needles Circular needles are a lot of fun to work with. They allow you to make bags and sweaters without seams, as well as other fun projects. But most patterns assume that people know how to work with circular needles, which can be intimidating for people who don't. What Are Circular Needles? Circular knitting needles can be made of most of the materials that straight knitting needles are made of: bamboo, metal, plastic and resin are the most popular materials. Circular needles can be bought in a fixed format, meaning the needles are permanently fixed to the cord, or they can be purchased as part of an interchangeable system, where the tips can be taken off the cord and exchanged for larger or smaller needles. Circular needles can commonly be found in US sizes 3 to 15. Getting Started with Circular Needles The process of casting on is the same with circular needles as it is with straight needles. There are several different methods for joining a project in the round.

Double Slip-stitch Rib knitting pattern: 2 steps and 2 rows - So Woolly Dedicated to all those who aren’t purling fans, this tutorial will show you how to knit the the Double Slip-stitch Rib pattern (in both, English and Continental style). At first glance, it looks like the classic 2×2 Rib stitch, but if we take a closer look, we’ll see how the columns are embossed, standing out remarkably. The Double Slip-stitch Rib is a two-row repeat pattern, one of which is plain knitting, and the other row requires two simple steps: More knitting and slipping stitches. The good news is that it doesn’t involve any purling! On top of that, the Double Slip-stitch Rib is a unisex stitch; you can use it for knitting women’s and men’s scarves, infinite cowls, and even blankets, cushions, tote bags, and many other projects (it’s similar to the Slip stitch Rib we learned sometime ago).
