Double Knit Diamonds
This pattern isn’t for a particular garment. It’s just a single repeat of a double knit color work pattern. Knit one column of repeats and make a scarf. Knit 6 columns of repeats and make a big blanket (that’s what I did). I left the gauge blank intentionally. Get your favorite yarn and needles and try the pattern, and find your gauge. There is no right gauge for this, just the gauge that suits your project! The way you adopt this pattern is up to you!
For those of you who have never done double knitting, I suggest the invisible cast-on. The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQOZ8GWM9sE
I also suggest making some sort of border around the pattern. I did a 5x5 border myself with a slipped stitch edging. Again, a video for the edging can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-BLtYkAfa8
Finally, I like to use the invisible bind off for double knitting which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP_Bq3iwy2c
Thanks to youtube user lissaplus3 for the great double knitting videos!
