Double Knitting from a chart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2020
- *Important - This specific chart is symmetrical, which is why it doesn't matter which direction you read it from. That's often, but not always the case. If your chart is not symmetrical, you should read one row from the right, then the next one from the left, and so forth, just like a normal knitting chart. There should be row numbers to indicate the direction.*
Double knitting is a versatile technique that creates two layers of fabric at the same time. Learn how to create reversible, colorwork designs by double knitting from a chart!

I was getting so confused with the patterns before you explained it. It makes perfect sense watching you do it!
yay! sometimes you just need to see it in action :)
wow i’ve watched at least six videos and your explanation within the first fifteen seconds was what made it click! thank you so much :)
Yay! Everyone has a different thing that makes it click for them - I'm glad I could help! :)
I honestly thought the same exact thing!!!
You cut the difficulty level down to size! 🥰Thanks for sharing 👍😊 Your soothing voice helped me focus on being patient with myself when learning this technique.
🤜💥🤛
Thanks! I'm glad it worked for you :)
Thank you for such a thorough and easy-to-understand explanation about how to double-knit using a chart! I am getting ready to make a batik-inspired blanket and have been struggling to figure out how I was going to do it. Your video makes me feel so much more confident in what I'm about to do and I will definitely be referring to it a bunch (once my yarn arrives XD)
I’m glad you found it helpful! Your project sounds fantastic. Once it’s finished, I’d love to see a picture!
By 3:26 , That already sounds like too much for me to keep track of... But you do you and Brava to you and ima go back ta crochet, cuz I can even do Tunisian.
You are a great teacher and once I finish some projects and I can sit still and actually start something new. I can probably wrap my head around it. I can't sit still and start doing something new because I feel guilty of the other projects I haven't finished and...angst builds and I would crack up an hafta go to the funny farm.
Thanks, Pia. Nice video!
Very nice tutorial. I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks :)
That was a wonderfully clear explanation with great video support!
Thanks! :)
Ohhh that makes so much more sense now. Thank you so much for making this video
You're so welcome! I’m glad it helped :)
This is very cute! I'll be practicing double knitting as a new skill. I haven't done it before, but I hope to get the hang of it. Your video really helped, thank you so much!
It's super fun when you get it, and it's not nearly as hard as it looks! If you can knit ribbing, you can totally do it :)
thanks! this was the only video that made sense
Need to try this...
I know I've seen you, before you have cute nails ♡ always ♡
I have watched a dozen videos on this, yours was the first to mention that for each square you are supposed to do a stitch and a purl. So thank you. I was getting rather frustrated as to why my pattern wasn't showing up.
You're welcome! Yeah it would be super frustrating without knowing that bit. I'm glad my video helped you :)
You did a great job showing the knitting! But i felt that referencing the chart was a little unclear and mentioning other rows was very very confusing. I dont feel more confident about reading the chart after watching.
Thank you for your feedback :)
Good video. You make it seem easy. Think I can do this! Why are the other videos so hard to understand while yours is straight forward?
Yay! I’m glad this one worked for you :-) I think everyone has a different learning style, so I’m glad there are lots of different types of videos out there. Everyone is going to click with something different :-)
Thank you for this. VIdeo. Do you have one knitting in the round?
I do not, but maybe I'll make one - is there something in particular about it that you are having trouble with?
this is amazing, thank you! i've been trying to double knit a coaster for mother's day and i keep messing up and getting defeated. this is an awesome video! thank you for being so clear and concise!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
@@StitchesnScraps quick question: on a pattern that is not symmetrical, do you have to read the pattern forward for one row and backward for the next?
@@marisamotlong4292 Yes that's exactly right.
In this situation, the chart should have row numbers, so you would read each row in the direction indicated by the row number (start at the row number and go across).
Usually, the odd numbers are on the right, indicating RS rows, and the even numbers are on the left indicating WS rows, but that's not always the case.
@@StitchesnScraps awesome! thank you so so so much you have saved my life! :-)
now how would i add a third color as accent to do a little spot of color here and there in a third color?
ok, 2 ways I can think of:
The easy answer: if it's just a few stitches, duplicate stitch it on after. Honestly for just a few, it's not worth the headache to try to incorporate it while knitting.
The more complicated answer: Double knitting is 2 layers of fabric that you just happen to be knitting at the same time. The knit stitches are the front layer, and the purl stitches are the back layer. There's no reason you can't work intarsia or fair isle on both layers, and if it's the same color you're adding, there's no reason not to cross that extra color back and forth wherever you need it. so where you need the extra color on the front, knit with it. And where you need it on the back, purl with it.
Just make sure that whatever floats you are carrying are always sitting between the layers. When you're knitting, you're making the front layer, so all your yarns need to be at the back (behind the front layer). When you're purling, you're making the back layer, so all your yarns need to come forward (in front of the back layer)
Thank you 8:56
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it :)
Thank you. I keep getting confused mid row while double knitting.
Yeah it can still be confusing if you're working with one color, or with the same colors on both layers for any length of time (like in a variegated situation). I think with DK the key is to just take it slow and go stitch pair by stitch pair...use markers if you have to.
Great video. I have a stupid question… Do you continue to read the chart from left to right when you turn your work to the backside? I can’t find any information about that. I am not a chart knitter and I am going to try with double knitting!
That's actually something I left out of the video without thinking about it, so I put it in the description instead. This particular chart is symmetrical so it's the same if you read it from right to left or left to right, which is why I ended up reading it the same way every time without thinking about it.
BUT if you're working from a chart that is not symmetrical, you absolutely do need to switch back and forth every time you turn the fabric.
Thanks a lot but I will have to fallow again.
Sometimes it takes a few times through a new technique :) If it helps, you can click on the settings icon (the little gear) and change the video speed to make it faster or slower
Hola podrías ponerle subtítulos en español a tu vídeo por favor?!!
Hecho :)
@@StitchesnScraps gracias 👍😊🌻
Whomever can do this stitch really has their
I don't understand. You're knitting on the flat but reading all the rows from left to right. Shouldn't 1 row be right to left then next row left to right and so on and so on?
Good question! That's because this pattern is symmetrical horizontally - it's the same in both directions. That's often the case with double knit patterns because you want the fabric to be reversible. But it's not ALWAYS the case so that's an important distinction.
I've added a comment to the video description, since I didn't think to cover that in the video. Thanks for bringing it up!
@@StitchesnScraps Thank you for the clarification.
I love your teaching style, but I do wish you would go slower
Have you tried looking at the blog posts that go with the tutorials? I tend to break it down more slowly in those to help accommodate different learning styles. Looking at both may be helpful for you. :)
@@StitchesnScraps I don't even know where to find a blog post. I'm new to all of this. I do know to get to your list of videos , is it there?
@@kayceegreer4418 A blog post is basically just a web page - the link is in the description of the video :) Click "show more" on the description and you'll see it.
