KIK Zoom Meeting – Double knitting

Double Your Fun with Double Knitting

You’ve heard of double vision, but have you heard of double knitting?  Join KIK at our May 15 meeting where Connie Blakley will introduce you to this technique. Double knitting is usually knit with two colors, incorporates a design, and produces a fabric that looks the same on the front and back. It is especially striking when knit with gradient yarn in two complementary colorways. If you want to knit along, bring two colors of yarn and appropriately sized, straight needles. You will also need a crochet hook for the cast on.
