Duplicate Stitch Yarn

Two colours using scrap yarn — I varied the weight; one in aran and one in bulky. Try to use different textures, too. one with a haze, one without. It’s all about that tex-dja!

GAUGE

I used two different yarns, but made sure each one had a similar weight and gauge,

1x1 Rib (smaller needles), worked in the round:

30 sts x 30 rnds = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 “)

Colourwork pattern (larger needles), worked in the round: 

26 sts x 30 rnds = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 “)

Note: Adjust needle size as
necessary to obtain gauge
