Pattern Notes
This pattern is knitted using the reversible double knitting technique, which allows you to knit both sides at once· There are some great video tutorials of this technique on YouTube· It is quite easy to pick up if you haven't done it before· Believe me, you'll become addicted to the reversible world! > Cast on 96 stitches using a provisional cast on technique. You can also just cast on as usual and then undo it when it comes to joining the ends. > If you are knitting the smaller size, start at the bottom of graph A and then move onto the bottom of graph B. > If you are knitting the larger size, start at the bottom of graph A and then move onto the bottom of graph C. > For a nice clean edge, I like to slip the first stitch knitwise with yarns in back, bring yarns forward and twist your purl yarn under your knit yarn so that it is on the right hand side when you purl the next stitch. This ‘interlocks’ the two yarns and gives you a beautiful neat edge· > Once you have reached the grafting edge of either graph B or C, graft this edge to cast on edge. I like to use the kitchener stitch. Alternatively you can just cast off as usual and then hand sew the ends together.
