Double Knitting With Barb

January 13, 2019 @ 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM

$45

Double knitting is a method of knitting a double-sided fabric with stockinette displayed on both the front and the back.  2 colors are used and by switching colors, pictures can be knitted into the fabric.

The class will take place over 3 sessions on Sunday, January 13, 20, & 27 from 12:30p-2:30p

Session 1:  2 hours – We will knit a small sample using the free pattern, “From My Heart.”  Copies will be provided in class.  We will do a cast on, double knit a sample consisting of 11 rows/11 stitches, and then we will cast off.  This will provide the basics of double knitting.  Help will be provided picking out a pattern for a project.  An excellent source for a pattern to add to a scarf (such as the one displayed in the shop) is on Ravelry called “double knit scarf charts I” by Kalinumba.    There is a charge for this set of patterns:  Approximately 3.95 EUR.  It includes 10 patterns, 40 stitches each.

Session 2:  2 hours – Using a double knitting pattern of your choice, individual help will be provided for casting on and working the pattern.

Session 3:  1 hour – We will continue on our individual patterns.

Requirements for the class:

  • Scrap yarn for session one (2 different colors – any size except fingering weight) and appropriate size needles for chosen yarn.
  • A double knitting pattern of your choice or you can use a pattern from Kalinumba as referenced above. We can work on choosing a pattern during session 1 or 2 after the practice project has been completed.
  • Two colors of yarn and needles for your project – DK, sport, or worsted weight works best.  The sample scarf displayed in the shop is done with fingering weight, and it was hard to keep the stitches even.  It also took a long time to knit!
  • A method for keeping track of what row you are on the chart – a chart keeper or colored removable tape.
