Double-knitting Single-layer Lace
This is a brand-new application of double-knitting lace, which creates a fabric which has lace on one layer and solid fabric on the other.
In this workshop, I will teach you how to work lace on one layer and do various things with the plain layer, including echoes of the colorwork in the lace layer, or no colorwork at all. You’ll also learn a really clean double-knit selvedge.
