WHY are there so many dislikes?! This is a phenomenal tutorial that really gets that repetition into the brain. I've seen a handful of others that will cover starting, or turning, or changing the primary color, but very few actually covers starting and getting somewhere! Thank you JoannesWeb!
Lol they're frustrated, because of the way they knit. I hold the yarn in my left hand and pick from there. I'm having to do a pick and toss combo and it's so hard! But I'm going to keep trying.
Update: I found another way that is working. Still holding in left hand, but picking up stitches from the front, instead of back. Stitches aren't twisting and it's going a lot quicker. I have about 7 inches of my hubby's scarf done now. Tan on one side, camo on the other. Looks awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!
@@taggih.5632 The dislike count used to show for everyone, but it doesn't anymore. I think because people were disliking a video for stupid reasons. Like just to dislike it for the fun of it or just to be mean. TH-cam removed the ability for other users to see that count.
@@taggih.5632 Unfortunately, TH-cam did away with the dislike system for the viewers. Dislikes are no longer visible on any video. (A shame imo because normally it was a useful metric for determining the quality/validity of a tutorial, or how-to vid. If someone recommended doing something unsafe, or the tutorial was badly made, dislikes reflected that. I wish TH-cam would instate another option or bring dislikes back.)
After many years of knitting (not always successfully!) I feel like I'm going to tackle double knitting. BEAUTIFUL, clear, and NICE production on this video! It makes excellent sense now!!!
The TH-cam recommendation gods have blessed me with this video. I gave up trying to understand double sided knitting years ago. This makes it so easy to follow and understand!
@@patportran4683 I can see it is simple if you do two colours in the regular order, but try replicating colourwork on both sides but with a positive/negative result. Quite impressive I find and mind boggling at times!
Great video, you made what I thought was going to be beyond my comprehension, into an easier pattern. I also like the fact you do not rush through the video, but show us carefully and patiently and more than just two times. Great job.
It’s nearly midnight, I have stumbled across this recommendation and now I am itching to get out my needles and yarn to try this out. Wonderful, concise and easy to follow video!
Thank you SO much! Your instructions are so easy to understand. I have tried many times in the past to master double knitting, but was unable to do so. You have taken the mystery and fear out of this wonderful technique. Again, a million thanks to you.
Thumbs down???? NONONO! My husband is fighting cancer and I need a stress reliever. Found my needles, found you and this is way more productive than crying and walking the floor. Thanks
thank you for this, ive tried for so many years to understand what my old pattern was trying to teach me...lol. i can finally get this project done after 45yrs!
Kristina Rankin: I had tried for years and could never figure out the pattern either! I had given up and forgotten about it until this video popped up a date now I'm inspired to try again!
Dear Joanne, I just discovered your channel with which I am super impressed! The variety of techniques keeps it so interesting. The way you explain while you work is great, you also take the time to show several times so that it is possible to absorb. Thanks for your use of a camera angle which is non-obstructed, and that you work in focus! I also really, really appreciate that you use no back-ground music! I very much enjoy your pedagogical, straight to the point videos! Please don’t change a thing-and keep up the good work!
I made an entire blanket a few years ago by double knitting, and I wanted to come back and say this video taught me how to do it. It's my favorite way to knit now! One tip I learned, though: the two sides don't need to be opposite colors. Both sides can have the exact same pattern, or if you're really ambitious they can have different patterns altogether! You just need to keep a good track of your stitches.
I stumbled upon you short video. Clicked the description and I have never seen how this was done before. I need to try this stitch. I have subscribed. Looking forward to more. Thank you for the challenge.
I know this is an old video. I needed a refreshed how to because its been a few years since I last double knitted. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I also looked at some of your other videos and i subscribed. Thank you
@@patportran4683 Well I guess you should move on to something you find more challenging, but don't put down knitters who find it exciting to try a design in double knitting?
In all the years I’ve knit, I’ve NEVER understood this technique!....one could use it to “carry colours”....I am so impressed....a million THANK YOUS for demonstrating and explaining so well!!!
I am a new knitter. I have only done one scarf and a headband. On the headband, I had to attach it to fleece to make it warm but I've seen headbands done like this. THANK YOU so much, I think I can do this. Very easy to understand.
Thank you very much for posting this tutorial on Double Sided Knitting. I found it a month ago while searching for some new knitting stitches and techniques. After watching your video, I decided to make a scarf with multicolored purple passion and purple. It is going really well. So far, it is one very sharp looking scarf. I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do. THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!!
I love your videos and love this one particularly it reminded me when my mom made me a rice sweater at 12 and it was a loose knit so it grew with me I'm 39 and I still have it it's a two strings of pink 💕
Wow - i have never seen anyone knit this way!! I LEARNT TO KNIT THIS WAY IN 1978 while visiting my sister. I have already made 4 afghans. Use patterns on graph paper for beautiful designs on both sides of afghan. Everone likes these afghans & they are warmer to use in colder weather.
My aunt knitted me a lovely baby blanket this way years ago, which held up well. Your video helps me understand the mystery and I will do it for someone else's baby. Thanks!
Found out that knitting it "inside out" is far easier. No weaving of yarns and no threat of it twisting accidentally. Simply pull one (eg dark) yarn to the front after knitting the first stitch and knit and purl as is until last stitch. (The purl yarn will be closest to you) Pass the yarn back to the back and knit the last two colours together, then turn and repeat. Still a bit fiddly but far less so and much faster than the video. Then simply cast off the two colours separately and turn inside out for a neat little pocket eg for phone. Thank you so much for this video, I definitely intend to do some more projects using it! :)
Thank you so much! I just started a Harry Potter themed afghan in worsted and was not liking how the typical single layer was puckering my purled design on a knit background. I'm going to frog it and try this method instead. Thicker and will make the design pop!
Knitting gifts for my friends and family this year, and a lot of the projects I've found are double knitted. Thank you for this tutorial, this is the best on double knitting I've found so far!
You are like my grandma because she talked just like how you did, and I miss her so much!!! She taught like how you do and I just keep watching this over and over.. Thank you for this advanced technique that I have not yet learned
When I was a college freshman 50 years ago (yikes!), my roommate showed me how to do this. I have been wondering all that time how it was done but could not find it. Thanks for solving this for me!
Knitting really is fascinating. I’m barely a few months into it and I’m amazed at all the different techniques. This is such a cool technique and explained so clearly! Thank you!
Your instruction and the video are so amazing! The best here on TH-cam, truly. I found that the first couple of rows are really hard to work but once you get going and you have a little bit of fabric to hold on to things go a lot quicker, and I have found a way to hold the yarn so that I'm switching colours a little faster as well. I have always wanted to learn this technique and I'm just so happy to have found your channel (new subscriber)! Thank you. 💜
My first row was a bit hard, the colors had switched over when casting on, once I sorted the first row, it was okay from there. I have decided to make a cushoon cover from my besties cat. Now the only confusion is how to cast off/bind off leaving a hole on top so that I can insert the cushion. I haven't even finished half way yet, this does take a very long time.
I love this! I've never heard of it, and I've been knitting for ... um ... 63 years! It would make a great heavy jacket, but I'll die of old age before I can finish it!
❤awesome! Mom had a little scraflette pattern which used double knitting on a section, so there was a place on one end of the scraflette or ascot through which the other end would pass. very sweet. one of the first things i knit with koigu yarn. and it had a tiny ruffle on the ends. it was a struggle to learn...your tutorial clarifies and made it so much easier. thank you!
You’re a great teacher,slow and clear ,I love the way you explain and clearly.Thankyou so much for this lesson and beautiful pattern ,I’m really enjoy to wacth your show 👍
Saya sangat berterima kasih dengan munculnya knitting rajutan di yutube ini.sehingga saya dapat belajar nerajut dengan mudah .dan begitu banyak pilihan, berbagai ragam ada di sini sekali . Setiap hari saya mengikuti belajar .terima kasih kepada guru perajut
thank you so much!!! I used to do this stitch a few years ago and I wanted to try to make a piece with the name of a skater I love so much. But I had forgotten how to cast on and knit it.. Thank you so much!! this brings so much joy to me. :D :D
You are so great! With you l could understand within a few seconds what others meant to show me for hours but without success! Thank you so much! Be blessed!
I was looking for a way to do exactly this with knitting, and your video is absolutely perfect. Very clear and easy to see what you’re doing. Thank you so much for putting this up.
Thank you for sharing that. Not only pot holders but I was thinking maybe some dishcloths. I discovered that Redheart now sell scrubby yarn and i could make some two sided dishcloths one side soft and one side scrubby.
This is fantastic, I am French and live in France, but it is so easy to follow, thank you very much !!! This kind of knitting is thick and warm ! Sorry for my bad English. Kind greetings from Brittany - France !
Ohhh TH-cam recommendation. I love you. Gorgeous old Lady. Great instructor but my brain is still 🤯 wow. And i was proud to knit letters in a scarf.... 😅
I love this method. It's also possible to create this sort of double-sided fabric using one color. Cast on an even number of stitches. Start each row with the yarn in front and slip one stitch purlwise, then put the yarn in back and knit one. Carry on doing this till you have the length of pocket that you need. Can be used to make a cell phone bag or a purse; or, used double-sided, a head band, a warm scarf or a cosy for your tea or coffee maker, with the option of inserting padding to add to the insulative capacity of the work. Gives a beautiful seamless edge.
Finally found perfect video for this. As been thinking to learn double knitting with 2 colours (sometimes like challenging myself) and this one actually nicely explains everything step by step so it makes sense to me (still new to knit and crochet)
Wow, this is really great and whenever I want to see the tutorial again step-by-step I can come back to this video rather than trying to remember guess or wish to get any tutorial or explanation (which I think it's going to be a No-No) from this Library worker that I met a few years ago knitting a hat by this method and she was refusing to explain clearly again for me so now yeah it's a dream come true for me LOL
Hello Joanne! I saw your similar video long ago where you made a small purse with this method. I made a case for my Braun thermometer in red & gray. So I looked for that video again & came upon this one. Perfect refresher! Now I have a question to ask:Is there an easy way to get this double sided affect with crochet??? I am making pot holders for a friend with kitchen cotton. She wants 10 of them! Rather than crochet 2 squares & stitch them together, I would love to do both at the same times this way. I have done some with a method that makes it double thick in one step but it is tedious for my arthritic hands. I have played with the 2 separate sides/colors at once & it's working out ok but I think there is an easier way & I believe YOU are the right person to ask 'how'... I thought about knitting them but with the heavy cotton it is harder on my hands to do that. I hope you will be able to help me with this soon. Thank you so very much for your time & sharing your talents with us all.Edna
Wow, what a great technique. And you are such a good instructor! I will try this as soon as I can find the time. It would make a very nice warm scarf. And when I’m brave enough, add a pattern later! Thank you for sharing.
Punk A Roo: Good for you! I learned to knit when I was seven and didn't really appreciate knitting until I was grown up. It has calmed me down when I was frustrated, entertained me when I was bored and cheered me up when I was sad. Sometimes it has frustrated me when I've had trouble with a pattern or a new stitch but knitting has also taught me persistence and patience an my hard work has turned into beautiful gifts that family and friends have loved. We are so lucky to have the Internet for help and inspiration Good luck to you!
Good for you! I always knit when under stress. Even when moving, I always stop for a few minutes in the new place, to knit, and to break in the new home! Also knit in the old place -- to say good-bye. Knitting is so very calming!
Knitting is very relaxing. I like to take a small knitting project with me everywhere I go. I'm not the best for sitting still for too long. Gives me a bit of anxiety. My hands like to be doing something, so I always have some sort of needle craft with me...knit, embroidery, etc. :)
I can see how this would be a very warm and versatile stitch. Do you have any recommendations for patterns that would use this stitch at it's best? I'm anxious to use this stitch but I'm not very inventive. Thanks Joanne and Ana. I'm anxious to use this stitch for something warm and clever for the kids at Christmas. Yes, I am a procrastinator. lol
If you want credit as amazingly learned, you take the simple and make it hard. If you, however, have brains to share, you take the hard and make it simple. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for making all these wonderful tutorials Joanne! I'm going to be doing a Double Knit Scarf in the near future. I'll have questions at tge live stream tomorrow
Thank you so much! Been wanting to learn how to do this, but the ones I've seen are not very clear and seem quite complicated. Yours is so easy to follow. Thanks again! Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for this video. All your tutorials are easy to follow. Greetings from Ecuador.
+Consuelo Moncayo Muchas gracias, Consuelo. Un abrazo.
Thank you from a Tasmanian Knitter! I'm going to try this.
This was perfect!!!! You explained it all so easily!!! Thank you so much!! You’re wonderful
Thank you thank you
Wow, this is really great and whenever I want to see the tutorial again step-by-step I can come back to this video rather than trying to remember guess or wish to get any tutorial or explanation (which I think it's going to be a No-No) from this Library worker that I met a few years ago knitting a hat by this method and she was refusing to explain clearly again for me so now yeah it's a dream come true for me LOL
So glad you found what you wee looking for!. Let us know if you need help finding more knitting and crochet content.
@@JoannesWeb okay if I think of any I will thanks!
Will this double knittng keep work from rolling like stockinette stitch tends to do? You're a great teacher.
+tuberfying Yes, it does!
There would be little point if it didn't as both exposed sides would end up stockinette the way she has alternated knitting and purling.
These are the most clear and easy to understand instructions I have found. So wonderful. Thank you so much!
Your a wonderful teacher, explaining everything so well🧶love your videos and thank you for sharing!
I like the way you teach. I not confused. Thank you! Finally got two colors Whoopi!
Hello Joanne! I saw your similar video long ago where you made a small purse with this method. I made a case for my Braun thermometer in red & gray. So I looked for that video again & came upon this one. Perfect refresher! Now I have a question to ask:Is there an easy way to get this double sided affect with crochet??? I am making pot holders for a friend with kitchen cotton. She wants 10 of them! Rather than crochet 2 squares & stitch them together, I would love to do both at the same times this way. I have done some with a method that makes it double thick in one step but it is tedious for my arthritic hands. I have played with the 2 separate sides/colors at once & it's working out ok but I think there is an easier way & I believe YOU are the right person to ask 'how'... I thought about knitting them but with the heavy cotton it is harder on my hands to do that. I hope you will be able to help me with this soon. Thank you so very much for your time & sharing your talents with us all.Edna
Wow, what a great technique. And you are such a good instructor! I will try this as soon as I can find the time. It would make a very nice warm scarf. And when I’m brave enough, add a pattern later! Thank you for sharing.
You’re an angel! Such a great instructor. Thank you.
I can't believe that I just found this channel today; what a wonderful gem!
I've seen this in a baby blanket but never knew how it was made. Thank you. I like your videos.
awesome tutorial! clear and easy to understand instructions...I am still a beginner and desperately wanting to learn new tricks...thank you!!
You explained that so well! I have tried to teach myself to do this with no success. I finally got it after watching this.
Wonderful. Beautifully explained. Please tell me how to have double stitched on a single color. Thanks.
Thank you for teaching how to do this. It's very clear. I'm going to try it.
I wanted to blanket or quilt in tecnic or mathard.Pl
Tell in easy way. I am above 72yrs old.
You explained this way of knitting so clear and made it easy to follow. Thanks keep up the great work.
I'm in grade five and I love to knit wene I'm frustrated
I hope you always do this. It is an excellent form of meditation with mind and hands, and you get some lovely piece of craft work at the end.
Punk A Roo: Good for you! I learned to knit when I was seven and didn't really appreciate knitting until I was grown up. It has calmed me down when I was frustrated, entertained me when I was bored and cheered me up when I was sad. Sometimes it has frustrated me when I've had trouble with a pattern or a new stitch but knitting has also taught me persistence and patience an my hard work has turned into beautiful gifts that family and friends have loved. We are so lucky to have the Internet for help and inspiration Good luck to you!
awww, I learned how to knit when I was in 5th grade too! My dad taught me how to do it, hopefully you continue to knit!
Good for you! I always knit when under stress. Even when moving, I always stop for a few minutes in the new place, to knit, and to break in the new home! Also knit in the old place -- to say good-bye. Knitting is so very calming!
Knitting is very relaxing. I like to take a small knitting project with me everywhere I go. I'm not the best for sitting still for too long. Gives me a bit of anxiety. My hands like to be doing something, so I always have some sort of needle craft with me...knit, embroidery, etc. :)
I like the cast-on method. Much easier than what I was doing before.
I can see how this would be a very warm and versatile stitch. Do you have any recommendations for patterns that would use this stitch at it's best? I'm anxious to use this stitch but I'm not very inventive. Thanks Joanne and Ana. I'm anxious to use this stitch for something warm and clever for the kids at Christmas. Yes, I am a procrastinator. lol
A scarf or a cowl would be nice!
@@JoannesWeb Yes! Thanks for the response. Love your videos. :-)
do a beanie Gale :))
you can reverse it and change the color whenever you feel like it
@@TH-camr-ok4vh That's a great idea. Thanks. All my kids and grandkids wear beanies and this is a great idea.
@@galememeeof6688 I think I might end up doing the same thing for my nephew
he can turn it inside out when he gets bored :))
If you want credit as amazingly learned, you take the simple and make it hard.
If you, however, have brains to share, you take the hard and make it simple.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for making all these wonderful tutorials Joanne! I'm going to be doing a Double Knit Scarf in the near future. I'll have questions at tge live stream tomorrow
You make this look so very easy. All the other videos were confusing. I think this will work for me!
Thank you for this video. I have been wondering how to do this, and now, thanks to you, I know how. :)
Thank you so much! Been wanting to learn how to do this, but the ones I've seen are not very clear and seem quite complicated. Yours is so easy to follow. Thanks again! Can't wait to try it out.
We have several videos on double knitting. Some are even simpler.
Hi! I'm from Argentina your tutorial is so clear !that even if a lost some terms I can follow watching your hands😀!
Thank you for this. I really enjoy your tutorials. God bless you for sharing your gifts.
