Pattern Details
Have you ever wanted to use up those beautiful skeins of fingering weight yarn but are too intimidated to try using it single stranded? This is the pattern for you! I’ll be going over my vanilla recipe I use for knitting fingering weight held double. This means you will be holding two strands of fingering weight in your hand instead of one. This creates a squishy and amazing fabric to knit with, it also goes WAY faster!

Sizes
