Double Knitting?
I'm looking for instructions on how to make a reversible stockinette stitch fabric. I think that technique is called double knitting but surprisingly I can't find it in any of my instruction books. Can anyone help?
*EDIT* After receiving some tutorials on how to do it (thank you by the way), I realize that I should add something. I'd like to double knit with only 1 color. Any tips on how to distinguish the two strands. Also, could anyone explain the edges in more detail. Something about twisting the two yarns together to keep the edges closed?
*AND YET ANOTHER EDIT* Alright, so after such great responses, I am knitting a perfect double knitted swatch... well, almost perfect. My cast on and cast off look cheesy. I used the long tail cast-on combining the two strands. It is much bulkier and I can see that if I used two colors they would show on both sides. The links that were given mention that there is a specific cast-on (and off) for double knitting, but don't give it. Anyone know?
