In this lesson, we will be learning the ins and outs of a technique called double knitting. We will be working in the round, knitting the front and backside of a patterned cowl at the same time. This creates a smooth stockinette fabric on both sides, with reversed images on either side. Written pattern instructions will include how to read and work the chart and a brief introduction to double knitting. This is a great project for high contrasting colors. The double-layered fabric makes for a warm, sturdy cowl that stands up to block the wind and keeps you nice and toasty. Once learned, you will be able to apply this skill to future double knit projects.
