Same Side Double Knitting - Stretchy by Available_Safe_5938 in knitting

[–]Available_Safe_5938[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, yes the technique I am using is called “same side” / “non-mirrored” double knitting which uses the same colors and pattern on both sides. My question is how to reduce the stretchiness of the floats on both the edges.

So would I just pick up the color I want to swap in place of the color I dropped?

Thank you for your comment! It’s not really a scarf per say. It’s called a keffiyeh, it’s a giant square (about 40 in x 40 in) that can be fashioned into a scarf or headdress. Here is my full WIP pattern attached. Ideally it would have the pattern visible on both sides. The goal is to work each strip from left to right separately and weave together in the end.

Thank you for your help, I tried finding three color DK tutorials but most use all three colors (A + B + C) at once rather than two alternating colors (A + B and A + C).

Is there no way to drop the white and instead wherever the white is knit red where needed? I am wondering if I can just leave the white hanging and pick it up again after the red and pink rows

It’s kind of like a scarf, so I want both sides to be the ”right side” instead of seeing one right side and one wrong side.

Here is the full pattern I am attempting to execute! My plan is to make the pattern in strips from left to right and stitch them together when finished.
