double knitting

Double knitting is a technique that creates a seamless, reversible fabric with two layers of yarn. It involves knitting two separate stacks of stitches simultaneously—one for each side—while switching between them to form a pattern. When finished, the result is a double-sided piece with no wrong or right side, as each side displays different colors or patterns. This method is often used to make scarves, blankets, or mugs, offering a thick, warm fabric with a clean, polished appearance on both sides. It requires careful attention to pattern and tension, but produces durable, functional textiles.
