Cats and Cat Stuff

This long, skinny cat themed scarf is knit using the double knitting technique, the finished piece is double sided and double thickness, a bit like two separate pieces being sewn together back to back, stocking/stockinette stitch is uppermost on both sides with the colours reversed on the wrong side – although you end up with two right sides! The two sides or layers are knit at the same time by first knitting a stitch from the side facing you and then purling a stitch from the opposite side. If you have not used this technique before all will become clear as you go.
