SUMMARY:Intro to Double Knitting Class
DESCRIPTION:Two Sides to Every Story: Mastering Reversible Double Knitting\nIn this workshop with Amanda Schwabe\, you will master the art of double knitting—a unique technique where the knit sides face out\, and the purl sides stay hidden\, resulting in a thick\, squishy\, and completely reversible piece of knitting. You’ll apply these skills to create customized double-knit coasters\, conquering the challenge of managing two strands of yarn simultaneously to create stunning mirror-image designs. You’ll leave this class with the “Big Win” of understanding how to read double-layered charts\, giving you the confidence to tackle complex projects like jacquard patterns and integrated pockets. \n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nSimultaneous Layering: Understanding the mechanics of how to knit two separate fabrics on one set of needles at the same time.\nReversible Colorwork: Mastering the technique of “mirror-imaging” colors to create a design that looks perfect on both sides.\nThe Hidden Purl: Learning how to trap the purl stitches inside the work to ensure a smooth\, professional finish on both exterior faces.\nChart Reading for Double Knitting: Deciphering how to follow a pattern when one square on a grid represents two different stitches.\nFoundation Skills for Complexity: Gaining the prerequisite knowledge needed for advanced techniques like reversible slip-stitch cables and knitting in the round.\n\n\nClass Details\n\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, February 17th\, 2026\n\nSlot 1: 2:00pm – 4:00pm\nSlot 2: 6:00pm – 8:00pm\n\n\nLocation: Maker Savvy Classroom\nSkill Level: Intermediate (If you are comfortable with basic knitting\, purling\, and casting on\, you can do this class!)\nInstructor & Qualifications: Amanda Schwabe: An expert in technical knitting structures\, Amanda specializes in double knitting and is known for her ability to break down complex maneuvers into easy-to-follow steps.\n\n\nSpecial Information & Preparation\n\nPre-Class Prep: Please ensure you have your yarn and needles ready (specific weights/sizes will be sent upon registration). No pre-knitting is required!\nLunch/Breaks: A short water/snack break will be provided mid-session.\nWhat’s Included in Registration:\n\nInstruction: Comprehensive hands-on guidance and troubleshooting.\n\n\n\nRegister Here
