2 Color Patterned Double Knitting with One Yarn at a Time (slip stitch double knitting)

- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2020
- If you want to work double-knitting but don't want to manipulate two colors at one time, here is an alternative method.
When the knit color is in your hand, work knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front.
When the purl color is in your hand, work slip 1 purlwise with yarn in back, purl 1.
In other words, move the yarn back and forth as for 1×1 ribbing, but only work the stitch if the correct color is in your hand. You'll need points at both ends because it takes two passes to work one row. Learn more at my blog: jolieaelder.blogspot.com.
I start off with a review of double-knitting. If you already know how to double-knit, skip the first 3 minutes of the video.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and SO CLEAR. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I finally get it!! THank you!
For some reason, this method of double knitting is much easier for me now. Whether it’s that it’s harder for my increasingly arthritic hands to carry two colors at once with good tension or that this method reminds me very much of linen stitch (which I love to do) but with the carryovers on the interior of the piece. Thank you very much and for your way of showing and explaining the method.
Thank you.
Thank YOU!! I will admit that I had to start over with the traditional way but I won't say how often. It would be a record.
Excellent ! Thank you 😊❤️.
I am MOTIVATED to try this out. You make it look do-able.
I watched this technique explained by PurlSoho and it made so much more sense when you did it! Thank you!
You are very welcome! I hope you make something beautiful in double-knitting!
Hi Jolie, I obtained a copy of Jane Neighbors book, Reversible 2 color knitting. Interesting. She speaks of Solid 2color opposite reversible (??) where 4rows are colors light, dark, light, row 1, dark, row 2. 1 n 2 are the same k1 sl 1 yif turn, and rows 3 n 4 are the same s1 yib, p1, slide. Variation in changing the order of the rows to, 1,3, 4, 2, ..2 rows light color, 2 rows dark color. Why, I say, the variation? Brain block. Wish u wld come up to Wisconsin. Really like to follow ur train of thot in person, in a class. Thanks.
Ah, I've never had a chance to read Jane Neighbors' book. I believe Wisconsin has a sheep and wool festival? Maybe I'll need to fill out an application? :-)
I am trying to learn this technique. I have a simple houndstooth, 4 st, 4 row pattern. After I have worked the first row two times, do I go to second row for reverse side and do I start the pattern at the left of the chart? Do I reverse the colors on the second side of the knitting? Thank you.
Yes, you understand! If you are working back and forth, the obverse ("right side") row takes two passes, one with each color. When you turn the work over, now the reverse ("wrong side") row takes two passes, one with each color.
Yes, you read the chart left to right on the reverse row. Here's the catch. On the reverse row, the color in the chart is the purl stitch not the knit stitch. It's like reading a knit-purl pattern back-and-forth on a chart and having to remember on the wrong-side row that the purl is a knit and the knit is a purl.
Because that messes with my brain, I instead think "match or not match." If the next stitch in the chart matches the one in the row below, then match the pair on the needles - i.e. work that knit-purl pair in the same colors. If the next stitch in the chart doesn't match the stitch in the previous row, then I work the pair in the opposite colors. (This same trick works in a lot of other chart-reading circumstances.)
Please let me know if this makes sense. Your reversible knitted houndstooth sounds like a pretty fabric! Happy knitting!
I’m making progress. Thank you.
Hi Jolie, to hve a bit of color work do I use either K st and P st, or?? Altho instead of thinking THT way, good gravy, my goal is creating opposite color. 😆 Yayyyyy!!! 🤍🤗 But jump in n tell me anythg u might.
Hopefully you have your colorwork charted out? In my example here, I've worked the fabric so you'll see knit stitches on both sides, although the fabric is essentially 1×1 ribbing worked in two colors. If you want to use this slipped-stitch technique, put stitch markers in between every color change. Then work knit and slip OR slip and purl, depending on what you need to match your chart. Knit then slip matches the color on the chart. Slip then purl is what you do when the color you are using does not match the next box on the chart. And don't forget it is the other-way round when you work the "wrong side" reverse rows coming back. I think it is probably easier to do this technique if you already know the standard double-knitting with both colors at once technique.
Your question does bring up the issue of textured double-knitting. That would be a more advanced technique but it could be done with this work-and-slip or slip-and-work method.
