The Dottie Scarf, is a perfect intro into double knitting. Double knitting shows a design in (generally) two colors on one side and an inverse design of those two colors on the opposite side. It’s a perfect way to make something a little thicker, squishier, and with a unique colorwork element. After knitting this scarf, you will have a good understanding of double knitting.
