As always, you shine a light on otherwise "mysterious" techniques! Thanks for all your hard work and teaching.


I am getting ready to cast on my first double knitting project. The pattern design runs all the way to the edges of the scarf. Would you recommend casting on additional stitches to each side of the scarf to maintain the design? I'm concerned that the slipped stitches would alter the design.


Thanks again,
Kevin

I'm brand new to double knitting and hated the twisting technique, this is definitely my favorite selvedge technique! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. This finish makes a very nice edge 👍

You're a godsend. I was wondering where I was going wrong and you just casually correct me. Amazing!

Thanks for this! My edges were a dog's dinner and I was trying to find neater ways but was daunted by them. This method is super simple and look s great :)

Suzanne, thank you for a great video. Right to the point, and so helpful. I cast on my first attempt today, but tossed it. Then I watched your invisible cast on, and now how to do the edge. If I could get my knitting with two hands more even I would be super happy. I believe like all knitting, the more I do it, the more it will even out.

I'm so sorry! I accidentally hit that dislike button! This video was outstanding and so very helpful! If you see someone hit a dislike...I tried to fix that immediately! Thank you for sharing this very clear video for the double knitting selvedge.

Really excellent video showing how to do this. Glad to see the video on how to Fix mistakes in double knitting ....oops.

Thank you for another video. This technique certainly does link those edge stitches firmly together. I am stumped, though. The column of stitches next to the slipped ones (2nd column from the left edge) simply will not tighten up properly. It's while I am purling that it happens.
