Obrigada!!! por ensinar. Bençãos de Deus a você
Hello from Mounds Illinois.
Fascinating! But I’m not sure I’m into making a the scarf pattern right off the bat! 😱
Need to find something simpler to begin 😊
Thank you!You could make other videos whith this tecnique? Thank you!
Thank you!You could make other videos for double knitting?
I like your description of 'motif colour' and 'background colour'. I always get confused when I knit the second side because my mind can't seem to make that switch. So when you knit the 'wrong side' do you read the next line from left to right?
It depends on the pattern. The motif in the video is symmetrical, so the chart can be read in either direction (I chose to read right to left for all rows). That may not be the case for all double knit motifs and then you would have to read the 'wrong side' rows from left to right.
Instantly subscribed! I realized now, I had been asking the wrong question all along! I'd been asking how to read a fair isle chart without multiples? 😆🤣 it's been double knitting the whole time! Thank you!
Now my mind is blown! Does this mean I can adapt any chart to double knitting? Or even crochet?
I think just about any color chart could be adapted to double knitting. You may want to look at charts for cross-stitch too, because they can also usually be adapted. There's lots of cross-over in fiber arts.
excelente explicación, cuando es un tejido doble, ¿ con que numero de agujas recomiendas usar? gracias
When you cross those color stitches doesn't that mess up the pocket?
I use both hands to avoid twisting or yarn. How do you manage, I noticed your yarn is not twisted.
Another question: when reading a chart do we read from right to left alternating? Especially when the chart calls for even numbers and having to balance out stitches.
Can this pattern be read in the round so every row is read Right to Left avoiding the opposite color reading every other row?
This pattern happens to be symmetrical, so every row can be read from right to left. However, the motif color and background color are reversed on each side. That's just what double knitting is. As you're reading the chart you have to be aware that the the dark color yarn is the motif color on one side of your knitting and the background color on the other.
Thank you
Hello! I have a quick question, do I have to reposition the yarn for each color switch? I'm a continental knitter and my pattern calls for a color switch every single pair of stitches over 46 stitches for multiple rows in the pattern. Would it be possible to just do color switches by picking up the correct color and not having to move the yarn around? The yarn gets awfully twisted when I keep repositioning it per color change but if I have to, I don't mind doing so! Just hoping it won't make my scarf wonky if I don't.
If you are double knitting, you probably do have to reposition the yarns every time you switch which color is the one that's seen on the front of your work. ( I have never figured out a way around this.) One way to avoid the twisty mess is to rotate the yarns clockwise for the first switch then counter cloockwise the next time you switch and continue alternating. Since the switches are sandwiched in between the layers of fabric you'll never see the twists when the piece is complete.
@@thechillydog Thank you so much for your response! Also, thank you for a solution. You're awesome and your videos are so, SO helpful!
Ooops, found the answer when reading below re: reading chart.
Can you pls tell me how to begging..is there any different way to cast on.. and can we knit all purl stich after front knit.(slip the all purl and knit ).(is that waste the time)
I like to use a Two-Color Chained Cast On to begin my Double knit projects, ruclips.net/video/QAwP2MJKlpw/видео.html. If you need more help understanding how to double knit watch this, ruclips.net/video/LXmgdIUANP4/видео.html.
@@thechillydog thnak you 🥰
Question...when you turn to the other side, do you still read the chart right to left? Normally, you reverse it...Thanks! Very clear explanation as I want to try this in the new year!
It depends. I specifically designed this scarf with a symmetrical pattern, so you can read it in either direction. If the stitch pattern and/or shaping isn't symmetrical you'd alternate reading r-l for one row then l-r for the next.
I bought the pattern..had a problem…
If you need pattern support or help downloading your file, you'll need to email. Contact information is available on the shop policies page of my shop site.
I don't understand. You're knitting on the flat but reading all the rows from right to left. Shouldn't 1 row be right to left then next row left to right and so on and so on?
Because this design is vertically symmetrical, the chart is exactly the same whether you read from right to left or left to right. If it wasn't, then yes you would need to read one row right to left and the next left to right.
@@thechillydog Thank you for the clarification.
Why do you knitting so complicated? Not the Doppel knitting. Why do you hold the String on the wrang side?
