Double stitch

In this video we show how to work 2 sts tog laying on top of each other to create a texture. We have already worked 2 inch/5 cm to easier show the pattern.

From RS: * K 4, K1 in st below the K st on needle. (i.e. sts from the two previous rows are worked as one) *, repeat *-* two more times and end with K4.
From WS: knit all sts, except double sts which are purled. Repeat these 2 rows for pattern.

To see a pattern with this technique, see: DROPS 150-17 or the picture to the left.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Bonjour, les explications du diagramme modèle 184-16 pour l'écharpe ne correspondent pas pour des rangs aller retour. Il me semble que tout se tricote à l'endroit sauf la maille double qui elle se tricote à l'envers lorsque l'on a fait un premier rang à l'endroit. Est-ce bien cela ?

Bonjour Mme Bereaux, les diagrammes montrent les motifs vus sur l'endroit, ainsi sur l'envers, vous tricoterez A.1 ainsi: (1 m env (=la maille double), 5 m end (env vu sur l'end). Les 5 m avant la maille double se tricotent bien toujours à l'endroit et la maille double à l'env sur l'envers. Bon tricot!

Is the first row for the scarf knit all the way so that you actually start the double stitching in the second row (purl)? I am a beginner and need full instructions I would also appreciate a voice in English or Norwegian The sales ladies are usually nice but in general too busy to teach Thank-you

Dear Margarita, a correction has been added to this scarf, ie you will knit 1 row before starting pattern. Happy knitting!

Hello, I would like to say that the way the purled stitch is shown in the first video looks very complicated, especially for the beginners. There is another, more simple way to do it without wiggling the needle around :) Just a thought. Thank you for these videos! Bo
