The &How Many&?& Knitting Tool. 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. Basic Techniques Photos for Learning Crocheting. Abbreviations: ch = chain, sc = single crochet Beginners are sometimes unsure exactly what is meant by the direction "sc in 2nd ch from hook", wondering if that includes the loop on the hook or if the counting is started beyond that.
The answer is that the loop already on the hook is not counted. The top part of the photo above shows which chain is considered the first chain and which is the "second chain from the hook" (which is the chain to begin the first stitch in, when beginning to crochet the first row in the starting chain). The lower part of the photo shows the start of the first single crochet being made in the second chain from the hook.

Everyone is still walking around bundled up in... you guessed it, cowls! They were the word on the street this winter when we brought you the Big Herringbone Cowl, and as we move into spring, cowls are here to stay, now in cool cottons and spring colors. It's really no wonder we love the cowl: no questions of wrapping or tying, no loose ends dragging through mud puddles and no getting caught in subway doors!
I'm sold! And so for spring, I decided to make a cuddly soft cotton cowl because April is no picnic! The Materials Get all the yarn you need with Purl Soho's Yarn for Striped Cotton Cowl kit. 3 skeins of Blue Sky's Cotton, 100% Cotton.
