The Double Wedding Ring symbolizes love. Its two circles, interlocked together, stand for two individuals joined together for eternity in matrimony. This image decorated common household items in ancient Rome. In medieval Europe, engaged couples wore gimmal rings; after the wedding, the rings were combined to form a single wedding band for the wife. The double wedding ring design adorned quilts and ceramics in early America and is still popular today. In a Venn diagram, it shows the shared elements in a union of two sets. In a religious context, it represents the union of man and God.

The knitting itself is not complicated, but it is important to count and follow chart (or written instructions) accurately. The knitting is basic; the chart following is basic (for a given row, all stitches are on one chart); and the chart management is basic (entire design is on one chart).
