A clever way to introduce colour work to your knits. Get your sewing needle out, we'll show you how to.
"Duplicate stitch (also called ‘Swiss darning’) is a technique for creating the look of colour work, but without the hassle of having to knit with multiple colours at once. Our favourite way of faking it! Tip: take a close look at the video to see where you need to insert your needle (it's often on the row above where you think it is)."
Start by fastening your yarn at the back of your work.
Poke the needle through the right side of the fabric.
Pull the yarn through.
Insert the needle under both 'legs' of the stitch above it.
Pull the yarn through.
Insert the needle in the same place where you started and pull the yarn through.
WORKING SIDEWAYS: Insert the needle into the bottom of the stitch you're finishing and let it come out at the bottom of the next stitch.
WORKING UPWARDS: Insert the needle at the base of the stitch you're finishing off and let it come out at the bottom of the stitch above.
Repeat these steps according to your motif.
