Changing name to “double” from “mock.”

This stitch pattern I invented produces a thick, double fabric that looks like garter stitch on both sides. Even better, you can change colors and each side looks the same.

The basic pattern has 3 rows, producing a reversible “ridge” of garter stitch on both sides.

For the illustrated swatch I cast on 18 stitches. I have added 3 stitches of I-cord selvedge on each side. This could be reduced to 2 or 1 stitch as desired.

I knitted six rows with each color to enable knitting 2 colors with straight needles.

It’s possible to knit only 3 rows with each color if you use circular or double-pointed needles. This will allow you, when it’s time to change colors, to slide the knitting along the needle to pick up the second color on the other end of the row just worked.
