Are you a super fan of Harry Potter and want to learn to double knit a cozy warm scarf? Double knitting is a wonderful technique that creates a two-layer fabric with knit stitches on both sides.

Students will learn to cast on using the invisible double knit cast on, reading a double knit chart with a flat project, closing the ends on a double knit project, and how to weave in ends on a double knit project. This is the perfect project to introduce you to double knitting and show off your Harry Potter house spirit.

Materials Needed for Class: stitch markers, highlighter tape, straight needles, pattern for scarf, any wool worsted weight yarn (Plymouth Encore is a great option) in your chosen house colors, US 5 or needle size to get a nice double knitting fabric. Purchases at time of class will get 10% off discount.
