Double-knitting Stacked Stitches

Xandy Peters rocked the knitting world with the “Fox Paws” pattern, a complex collection of stacked increases and decreases largely based in garter stitch. I recently took up the challenge and discovered a clean method of achieving stacked stitches in double-knitting — and, with a suitably long circular needle, you can work stacks of any height with equal ease.

In this workshop, you'll learn stacked increases and stacked decreases in double-knitting, and hopefully leave ready to adapt your favorite stacked-stitch pattern to a fully-reversible one!

This is a brand new workshop, and as such has no sample art yet. Thanks for your patience!
