Double knitting allows you to create two pieces of fabric in one go. Double knitting is useful for projects that call for more than one yarn or require you to use two different colors on the same side. This technique can also be used to reversibly transform projects.
Two strands of yarn are necessary to double knit. Also, you will need to pick a pattern that is simple to read. To secure your fabric, you will need the ends to be woven in after you've finished the project. There are different techniques that you can use to do this. You can use a knitting needle or a crochet hook to do this. Or you can simply pull the yarn from the stitch and weave it in.
While double knitting patterns are best knit flat, you can also make them round. This technique is great for reversible projects, because you can switch to the other side of the fabric when you are finished knitting. To ensure you follow the correct pattern, you will need to use a chart. The yarn you choose should be appropriate for the project. Check the yarn's label to see what type of yarn is recommended. This label will provide information about the yarn's type and recommended needle size.
You want yarn that isn’t too soft to make dense fabric. A knitting needle that is at least 5 inches long or smaller will be preferred. These needles will help you to work in a flat pattern. Double-pointed needles are also possible, but they will be more than you actually need. It is important to choose yarn that will be used for both sides of the fabric, as you will be alternating knit and purl stitches across the rows.
You will need to choose a pattern that is simple to read in order to start double knitting. You can also knit the pattern on a double-pointed needle to make it easier to follow. It is important to select a pattern with at least two sides. Double knitting creates a fabric with both right and left sides. A combination of English and Continental patterns can be used.
Double knitting allows you to experiment with colorwork. When you use two different colors, you will be able to translate any two-colored image into knitting. You can choose a two- or three-color pattern or use one or both of the charts from this book. To ensure that your knitting is in the right place, you will need to refer to the instructions on the chart. For a firm edge, cross the yarns at row's end.
First, cast on a set number of stitches to begin double knitting. To switch yarn positions, knit one stitch in color A and pull the next one with color. Also, for the next row you will need one A stitch and one BC stitch.
