Double knitting is a well-known technique for creating work in two colors that looks beautiful on both sides. But have you ever seen a double-faced work with 3 colors per row? This could even be a world premiere! In this tutorial I will show you how to knit in 3 colours using the double knitting technique.
The first piece I have worked using this technique is a beautiful placemat with a 3D look. In these instructions you will find a detailed explanation of double knitting with 3 colours in English knitting style. The instructions also include a short film without sound with some moving images that demonstrate the technique. The double knitting technique itself is not explained in these instructions.

Knitting this placemat in double knitting with 3 colours is a fascinating experience and you will certainly be rewarded with admiration from your guests for the finished placemat. I wish you lots of fun working on it.

Knowledge required:

• Stitch cast-on
• Cast off
• Knitting knit and purl stitches
• Experience in double knitting
• Patience and joy in trying out something new

What you get:
You will receive a 15-page instruction with detailed description and photos. The instructions contain detailed explanations about double knitting with 3 colours in a row. You will also receive a video showing the technique in moving pictures. The explanations are based on the English knitting style. The instructions do not include a description of the double knitting technique itself.

Level of Difficulty:
For experienced double knitters who would like to work with an additional colour and are ready to practice with the extra yarn.

Size:
Knitted in double knitting with three colors:
28 stitches = 10 cm wide. 29 rows = 10 cm high.

With this stitch sample, the placemat will be approx. 37 cm wide and approx. 28.5 cm high.

Material needed:
• Schachenmayr Catania, 100% cotton, 50g = approx. 125m. You can also use another cotton with a similar yardage.
o Twice 15g in white.
I recommend working with two balls of yarn, as you will need one thread for each side of the work.
o 50g in light blue.
I used exactly 50g. However, the amount needed can vary a little depending on your personal knitting style. I therefore recommend having two balls in stock. It would be really annoying if you didn’t have enough wool shortly before the end of your project…
o 50g in dark blue.
My consumption here was also exactly 50g. However, the amount needed can vary a little depending on your personal knitting style. That’s why I recommend having two balls in stock. It would be really annoying if you didn’t have enough wool shortly before the end of your project…
• Knitting needles no. 2 ½, a circular needle can also be used depending on preference
• Sewing needle
• Scissors
