lnstructions
Please read all instructions before beginning this pattern Knitting is a journey that can take us as far as we want. My own journey has been one of quiet and exciting times of varying length. Learning this craft with all its varieties of techniques and styles is never ending. With this design I have been able to take much of this knowledge and work out a Double Knitting design that not only uses cables but in a way that can surround solid areas of color without bleeding color inside or outside the boundary. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it. This is a graph for your practice piece (some may call it a swatch). I do suggest a little practice if you are new to cables in double knitting just to get the technique comfortable. You will see three different color combinations for the cables. No color fill indicates working both pairs A/B One side color fill indicates working the color side pair B/A, the no color side A/B All color fill indicates working both pairs B/A
Color A = the main or background color facing the knitter when starting the chart (Right Side) Color B = the contrast or design color facing the knitter when starting the chart (Right Side)
Chart for Practice Piece
This pattern has been written with the use of KnitCompanion (KC) the ioS app for knitters in mind while at the same time to be used as a print out. The color choice was deliberate to facilitate using your own colors. The printed version can be colored with pencils, in KC Magic Markers (MM) can be used. The darker grey is there so after coloring in the A the dark fill still shows up strongly that indicates using B. (For my own use I even alternated my rows so my wrong side or even rows showed the colors I was actually knitting). It is important to follow the chart carefully even though it looks weird. Cable Crosses are done with the previously knit stitches so when crossed the colors also cross. This is fine when done traditionally for single layer/one color knitting however in double layer/two color knitting everything changes and color bleeds across into the opposite color. Therefore the color choice of the row below needs to account for this as will become clear when you knit the practice piece. My Knit/Purl, 2 color Cast On for Double Knitting will explain the cast on that will set up your pairs. My Selvedge Edge video will explain the edge directions. My Cables in Double Knitting video will show how I manipulate the cables in double knitting My Alternate Purling video shows the purl I use for all my knitting, however this might not be the ideal time to start using that method. Cast On 34 stitches using the Knit/Purl, 2 color, CO for Double Knitting and put pairs on in B/A order Follow chart repeating rows 13 through 32 for desired length then continue chart to end. Bind off all stitches by sliding to opposite end of needle, sl 2 st, psso, \*sl 1, psso repeat from \* to end Weave inends Block by soaking in cool water for 30 minutes, squeezing then rolling in a towel, lay flat to dry.
