Heavy equipment! Bulldozers, diggers and cranes! Dump trucks, tankers and cement mixers! Who isn’t mesmerized by a working construction site?

This pattern provides charts of six construction vehicles. Line up the ones you like, and “double knit” them into a warm and cuddly, reversible two-layer stockinette scarf that will appeal to the contractor in all of us, young and old!

This pattern does not purport to teach you to double-knit. A quick description of the process is included, along with references to some resource materials — online and off — available to help you master the process, with specific focus on issues that typically arise as you plan and complete a double-knit project, i.e., casting on, securing edges, and binding off.

As for materials, you will need two colors of yarn and needles. Worsted or DK weight yarn is recommended, along with needles appropriately sized for your chosen yarn. Sample scarves incorporating all six designs and knit with worsted weight yarns and US7 needles have consumed between 420 and 460 yards total.
