They are using Louet yarn but I’m stash diving!
I’m knooking my project with a 3.5mm khook.
I’ve crochet cast-on.
I held both yarns together and kept the colours in sequence. I replaced the needle with my knooking hook.
Eventually I learnt to long-tail cast-on.
In this German video she’s K1P1. For DKnooking, knit in one colour and purl in the other colour.
A double-knit video for my DKnooking.
Here’s a video on no-twist-edge.
Binding off.
WoollyWoof uses Excel to chart her ExtremeDK diagram.
Some alternate squares from 2014 Blanket.
To join the squares I might follow the LLJ instructions or I might crochet a join-as-go with sc stitches.
Hogwarts Study Hall is handy this time!
