How to work a 2 colored double knit folding edge, with stockinette stitches in the fold
The starting slipknot will be dropped after a couple rows and is not to be included in the number of stitches to be cast on.
You cast on for both sides at the same time, and the stitches alternately belongs to front and back side of work. Make sure to cast on an even number of stitches, so that you will have the same amount of sts in the front and in the back. When working first row make sure strands are twisted to secure first stitch. Make sure to knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as shown in our Drops Video.

Dear Mrs Plewman, we only have this one, but you can work the first row as shown in the video then join in the round at the end of the first row to continue in the round. When weaving the end you can then fix the small gap at the join. Happy knitting!

04.01.2021 - 07:47Veldig fin video! Lurer på om man må doble maskeantallet i den doble vranborden fra opprinnelig mønster, for deretter å minske tilbake igjen når vrangborden er ferdig?

Hei Hillevi. Ja, det stemmer, og man får best resultat ved å ikke bruke for tykt garn ved en slik dobbel vrangbord. God Fornøyelse!
