Shaping Double-knitting
While I love using increases and decreases to make intriguing patterns in my double-knitting, many people prefer to use them for, well, increasing and decreasing the fabric.
In this workshop, I’ll teach you some shaping methods including various increases, decreases, and some simple short-rows. You’ll also learn a really clean double-knit selvedge.
