I’d like to introduce you to my double-knitted scarf. To be honest, this wasn’t my own creation. The original pattern is on the carved wooden door of an old farmhouse and is made of wood. An unknown artist with a love of detail created it a long time ago. It fascinated me so much that I wanted to recreate it in knitted stitches.
Although it’s a relatively simple double-knitting motif from a purely technical knitting perspective, I’d still recommend this scarf to more experienced knitters. The two-color motif is shown in a knitting chart.

You can find the pattern here.

There's plenty going on by the North Sea, because that's where Julian and Kilian live, the whizzes from the harbor front! While Kilian catches the biggest fish, Julian always has to make do with the little ones. That really annoys him!
