Knitting a double stitch
An alternative to knitting shortened and lengthened rows with yarn overs is the double stitch or overcast stitch.
Ideally, it is worked in stockinette stitch parts. However, other patterns are also possible. Knit up to the sts mentioned in the basic pattern and turn the work.
After turning, place the yarn in front of the work, insert into the 1st stitch from right to left, then lift the stitch and yarn together onto the right needle and pull the yarn firmly to the back, pulling the stitch over the needle so that it lies double
This method applies to all rows, regardless of whether knit or purl sts are worked. After the double sts have been worked, knit the rows back according to the pattern.
When knitting off, knit or purl the double sts together.
Important: Tighten the sts firmly, otherwise holes will appear later and/or the knitted pattern will not be even.
