Mein 1. Werk mit Double Face hat nach Anfangsschwierigkeiten gut funktioniert. Ich habe die geforderte Maschenzahl mit beiden Fäden aufgenommen. In der 1. Reihe habe ich die Farben Vorderseite re. Ma. Rückseite li. Masche getrennt. Nach dem Wenden der Reihe liegt dann die Rückseite vorne. Merke: Maschen die man vorne sieht sind immer rechts.
