Turnery

On one of my walks I came across this old farmhouse that had a beautiful carved entrance. Knitters’ minds sometimes work in strange ways, the door looked like a cabled knitting pattern. My first idea was: I must knit this! It finally turned out to become a double knitted scarf, highly stylized and transferred to colorwork.

The scarf is worked in double knitting, using aran weight yarn. A short introduction to double knitting is included in the pattern. If you have never used the technique before, you may find it helpful to watch some tutorials. There are no written instructions, you need to know how to read charts.
