So you’ve nailed knit and purl, what next? Colourwork. Before you run for the hills, we can assure you these legwarmers are do-able. There’s a bit of stranded colourwork, using just two colours, and duplicate stitch which is basically sewing. Bookmark this as your next rainy day project.

When knitting with double-pointed needles, it’s easy for the first and last stitches on the needle to loosen, so be sure to pull these tight. Just be careful not to pull too tightly when working the stranded colourwork as it may look lumpy.
