Price: $125.00

Bored with only two colors in your double-knitting? Add a third (or a fourth)! With more than two colors per row in double-knitting, the rules change a bit. Learn how to choose a color rotation and maintain it throughout a three-color pattern. In this workshop, you’ll get to play with three-color single-pattern as well as two-pattern double-knitting – and open new doors to design possibilities that were previously impossible (or at least improbable). You’ll also learn how to integrate the third color into a foolproof double-knit selvedge, and a bind-off that mirrors the cast-on.

Student Maximum: 20
Skill Level and Technique: Knitting, Intermediate
Prerequisite: Previous double-knitting experience required -- you should either have taken Alasdair’s Introduction to Double-Knitting workshop in person or on Craftsy, or have done some other double-knitting colorwork on your own or in another workshop. You should also be comfortable with single-faced cabled knitting; without a cable needle is a big bonus but not vital.

Homework: Please download the homework page at http://double-knitting.com/mcdkhw and follow the instructions.
Supply List: 3 solid colors (one light, one darker, and one accent color) of plain yarn in the DK to worsted weight range and a pair of straight or circular needles in the proper size.
Kit: $1 Kit Fee payable directly to instructor.
