The more I double-knit, the more possibilities I see opening up before me. I love the possibilities of lace – the elegant shapes and flowing forms that can be generated with just a few holes and decreases. As I push the boundaries of double-knitting, how could I not try double-knit lace? It turns out that there are several ways to do it – and not all of them are interchangeable.
In this workshop, you’ll learn two of the methods of double-knit openwork that I’ve discovered, and the pros and cons of both. You’ll also learn a really clean double-knit selvedge.
Skill Level: Advanced. You should have taken the Introduction or Advanced Beginner workshops or have facility with modern (two colors at once) double-knitting. You should also be comfortable with single-layer lace knitting (including YOs and various decreases) and following them in knitting charts.
Material fee: $0
Student Supplies: 2 distinct solid colors (1 light, 1 darker) of plain yarn in the fingering to sport weight range and a pair of straight or circular needles two sizes above what you would normally select for your chosen yarn.
Homework: Please follow the homework instructions at https://double-knitting.com/dklacehw.
