Learn a challenging but beautiful, seamless, circular tubular cast-on that leads perfectly into a circular double-knit fabric. On a small flat practice swatch, we will explore all the techniques needed to complete a center-out project; double increases (and how to resolve them into double knit format), double layer patterning and reading stitch-map-style charts, use of marker yarns, concluding with a threaded reverse stocking stitch border and crochet bind-off. This beautiful beginning can be used to start top-down DK hats, place mats, chair-pads, and blankets of infinite variety!

Technique Requirements: This class is for experienced double-knitters, confident in two-color negative/positive stocking stitch double knitting (flat or in the round).
