Class Details:
Most knitters know that duplicate stitch can add color details on plain stockinette fabric. In this hands-on workshop, discover how this simple and unassuming embroidery stitch can hide a multitude of sins, from errors in colorwork, cables crossed the wrong way—even sneaky finishing techniques—and more!
Homework:
Homework #1: With smooth, light-colored worsted-weight or DK-weight yarn, cast on 16 stitches. Work K1P1 Rib for 1". Change to stockinette, and work even for 4". Bind off.
Homework #2: With smooth, light-colored worsted-weight or DK-weight yarn, cast on 16 stitches.
Row 1 (RS): P3, [k4, p2] twice, p1.
Row 2 and all WS rows: P7, k2, p4, p3.
Rows 3, 7, and 15: P3, [slip the next 2 stitches onto a cable needle and hold in front, k2, k2 from the cable needle, p2] twice, p1.
