Necking with a Giraffe

This pattern uses the double knitting technique: you’ll be knitting two connected pieces of fabric at once on the same set of needles. The result is a scarf with two right sides, with the same two-color pattern reversed from one side to the other.
When double knitting, your final product will show nothing but knits (stockinette) on both sides. To achieve this, every other stitch you work will be a purl.
If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, I recommend the fantastic video demonstration on planetpurl’s YouTube channel.
I used thicker yarn and needles for a chunky scarf. If you’d like a thinner, narrower scarf, just use thinner yarn and needles.
- US Size 5 needles (3.75 mm)
- Two skeins of worsted weight yarn - two colors, about 100g/ 156m each. I used Vanna’s Choice in Chocolate & Mustard (yum!).
- Gauge: 4 columns x 6 rows = 1” sq. Scarf is approximately 4” wide.
