Your video autoplayed when I was struggling to do double knitting continental and English style, and you showing how much easier it is to just do it continental saved me! Thank you
This was such a good tutorial!!! I found your scarf pattern on ravelry, but when I read that it had double knitting I was pretty scared. I've only been knitting for a year and have never tried it before, but thankfully I decided to give your tutorial a chance! This technique seems a lot less scary now, I'll try it on a sample right now
It took a while but I just completed the sample :D it looks pretty wonky and I forgot to lock the fabric a couple times but I think I'll figure it out. I still have two questions about this: Firstly, when "locking the fabric", does it matter which way I twist the yarns around each other? And secondly, does it matter which strand I use for the kitchener stitch in the end?
Hello! Thanks for the pattern which is so beautiful! One of my son is a big fan of it so i am so happy to knit it for him. And a big thanks for the tuto because i'm discovering the double knitting ans it's so scary!! I'll post pictures on Ravelry when it will be over 😉 And sorry for my bad englisch😅
Amazing how you did your kitchener st. I have tried to learn it for so long can never get the hang of it. But now seeing your work I really get it. Thanks a million.Great teacher. Please keep it coming for more idea.
I've asked on another video of this double knitting and have yet to get an answer. can you use this method to make a pouch, and if so can you do designs or do they have to just be one color per side??
When I am double-knitting a project, I knit the first two stitches together on every row (K2tog) and then I also knit the last two stitches together on every row. Another method: Slip the first two stitches in a row together knitwise, then purl the last two stitches in the row together. Continue for every row. Using either of the above methods will give your piece a two-color twisted edge along both sides of the scarf. For the Princess Mononoke scarf pattern I will cast on 4 extra stitches to allow for this step of knitting the first two stitches together and the last two stitches together. That way I won't be interfering with the stitch number of the actual design area itself. Knitting these edge stitches on both sides of the scarf also means that I will simply bind off the scarf using the basic bind-off method instead of having to work the kitchener stitch at the end. The bind-off will have the same appearance as the two-color twisted edge on both sides of the scarf.

Your video is really helpful. I wish I knew why my yarns twist so badly, but yours stay pretty much OK.

Great tutorial! Thanks
Awesome tutorial, can't wait to give it a go! Ps the mononoke pattern looks awesome

That book is still available.
Hey, this video was great, but can someone explain to me in more detail how to "lock" in each row? I couldn't quite see how it was done in the video.
Yes I want to learn more about locking.
I've seen other tutorials that have the first and last stitches being both yarns to lock them that way. like in a 2 strand single stitch knit or purl.
When I am double-knitting a project, I knit the first two stitches together on every row (K2tog) and then I also knit the last two stitches together on every row.
