Irregular double knitting (also known as non-mirrored double knitting, or NMDK) is magical.

It’s a very specific kind of magic – allowing you to use text in double knitting that’s actually readable on both sides.

Looking at the result made me want to shout, “Abracadabra!” And thus this hat was born.

If this is your first double knitting project, or your first using irregular double knitting, the appendices at the back will walk you through it.
