Double Knit in Color

An in-person class with Jill Bigelow Suttell

Nov 12, 9:00am-12:00pm PST

Learn basic double knitting techniques and start this cozy DK hat.

Double-knitting is a unique method of making a fabric with no ‘wrong’ side. Significantly different from the standard intarsia and Fair Isle colorwork, double-knitting makes a pattern on both sides of the fabric with the colors inverted.

You’ll learn 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 start a hat (pattern included).

Special skills or knowledge needed to take this class
Students should be able to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off without supervision.
