KNIT HAPPY! SUMMIT

Double Knitting in the Round

Mary Beth Kelso

If you can knit and purl (and have a little sense of adventure), you can learn to double-knit! In this presentation, we'll start with a two-color invisible cast-on, work the basic double-knitting technique, and then finish with a Kitchener bind-off to match the cast-on.

share your biggest takeaway in our

YOUR FREE GIFT

Click the link to subscribe to my email newsletter, and as a special thank-you, I’ll send you my Fana Cowl pattern so you can practice your double knitting!

Fana is a reversible cowl featuring traditional sweater motifs from the Fana region of Norway. These are customarily done in stranded knitting in red or green on white, but here are worked in the Double Knitting technique, with marine blue reflecting the coastal origins of the design.
A great first double-knit project--since it’s worked in the round, you don’t have to worry about closing the edges or reading charts backwards!

Pattern has options for a single loop (shown on model) or double. Instructions for adjusting height and circumference are in pattern. Cowl starts with a two-color invisible cast-on. Body is done in charted two-color double knitting. Top is closed with a Kitchener bind-off, either on one needle or two.

Pattern includes links to instructional videos for each step.

Mary Beth Kelso
Designer and Teacher

 

I'm a designer and teacher based in Southern California. I love cables and any kind of colorwork that's not stranded.

After teaching for many years at my LYS, I designed my first sweater and sold it to a yarn company.

And just as I loved learning new techniques as an adventurous beginner, I did the same with designing. I soon added cable, mosaic, vertical stranding, and double knitting designs to my portfolio.

I love puzzling out a pattern and then writing clear instructions supplemented with YouTube videos demonstrating the techniques. My designs have appeared in Vogue Knitting, KnitPicks Homestead Cables, and numerous yarn company collections.

I look forward to sharing my favorite colorwork technique, double knitting, with you--perfect for reversible cowls!
