Scarf Sweet Memories – A Double-Face Knitting Instruction

Sweet Memories – A Reversible Double-Knitted Scarf
Sweet Memories is a striking, fully reversible scarf inspired by the delicate lattice crust of a traditional Dutch apple pie.
The repeating black-and-white lattice creates a timeless geometric design that is both elegant and eye-catching. Worked in delicate lace-weight yarn using double knitting, the scarf has a different colour arrangement on each side – giving you two beautiful looks in one accessory.
Lightweight yet cozy, Sweet Memories is a versatile project that can be worn with a casual outfit or styled for a more special occasion.

The pattern
The pattern is worked in double knitting and features a repeating lattice design in two contrasting colours.
The pattern includes both a chart and a detailed row-by-row written description, so you can successfully knit the scarf even if you are not comfortable reading charts.
The scarf is worked in lace-weight yarn, making it a light and elegant accessory that is also wonderfully warm thanks to the double-knitted fabric.

Before you begin
Sweet Memories is a double-knitting pattern and is recommended for knitters who already have some experience with this technique.

If you are new to double knitting, I recommend working through my Double Knitting Tutorial before starting this pattern: https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/97086/double-face-knitting-a-tutorial

The tutorial contains exercises that will help you become familiar with the basic principles and techniques of double knitting. Once you have mastered the exercises, you will be ready to tackle Sweet Memories.

Required knowledge:
• Cast on
• Cast off
• Knit right and purl stitches
• A little practice in knitting Double Face (I recommend my free tutorial to learn how to knit Double Face).
If you have this knowledge, you can knit this scarf. Since the pattern is not symmetrical, it needs concentration when knitting the pattern. With time, however, the stitch sequence is well memorized and can be knitted relatively relaxed.

What you get:
You get a 7-page pattern containing a counting pattern and detailed row by row descriptions.

Difficulty level:
Medium
Anyone who can knit the examples of my free tutorial for double-face knitting (https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/97086/double-face-knitting-a-tutorial) can knit this scarf too.

Stitch gauge:
Knitted in Double Face: 30 stitches = approx. 10 cm wide. 39 rules = approx. 10 cm high.
With this stitch sample, the scarf will be approx. 30 cm wide and approx. 160 cm long.

• Rico Design Luxury Lace (LL approx. 200m / 25g) 100g (= 4 balls) in white and 100g (= 4 balls) in black. My consumption was exactly 193g. Depending on your personal knitting style, the consumption may vary a bit. This scarf can of course also be knitted with another wool with a similar run length. Make sure that the selected wool does not scratch the neck. The same amount of wool is needed from both colours.
