Want to add bold colorwork, custom motifs, or festive details to your knitwear without juggling multiple strands of yarn? Join us for a hands-on afternoon learning duplicate stitch!
In this two-hour workshop, we will work from Jamie Lomax's pattern Holiday Doodle Faces (Cup Cozy) to transform plain stockinette fabric into a custom piece. Duplicate stitch allows you to "embroider" directly over existing knit stitches, creating seamless designs that look just like traditional stranded colorwork. It is also a fantastic skill to have in your toolkit for fixing colorwork mistakes or reinforcing worn areas on favorite sweaters and socks!
