Inside Out Double Knitting - For Jan!

Inside out double knitting in Garter & stockinette stitch to create an inside out tube. Use a smaller needle for double knitting because there is more play in your stitches using this technique. Normally I would knit this yarn with size 6 needles, but in double knitting I knit with size 2; I also knit pretty loose.

Hi I really love that bear and i want to make one like that.. can you tell me where i can get the patern (like you done it.. because your beau is beautiful)

@Sebetjo24 The pattern is modified from the original. A quick Google search gave me this result free-knitting-pattern[DOT]com/­content/double-knit-bear-free-­pattern. I only wrote my version of the original in circular knitting form, but not double knit. My bear btw is a modified version of the Mother Bear Project pattern.

You'll have to replace the [DOT] with an actual period when you put it your address bar.

@Sebetjo24 I gathered up some of my notes and put them together in PDF form. I have a link to the PDF on my blog added 10/5/2010. You can find my blog at DetroitKnitter.blogspot.com

are you able to show this using your right hand? I don't knit using my left hand... thanks. I would just like to see how you would hold the yarn...

[MarleneD1216]

@autbrat Mmm, I don't think this method can be applied to english style knitting since the yarn comes from the right rather than the left. I think the purls would not be manageable.

The yarn is worsted weight. The pattern is based on "The Mother Bear" project which knits the bears flat then seems them.

Hello Marlene, love the way you teach knitting. What gauge yarn do u use for the bear? Do u have a pattern available?

Thank You!! Jam

I would recommend either casting on normally then adding a second strand after the cast on however you like. OR, you can try out the alternating 2 color cast on method which I also have a video of. This sample shows a provisional cast on (brown yarn) and is my first attempt to create round feet but for all the other double knit bears I've used the alternating 2 color cast on... only both strands are the same color unlike in the video. Find the video on my playlist channel MarleneD1216.
