Knitting instructions scarf SQUARE DROP LOOP (PDF)

With theSquare Drop LoopYou're bringing home a truly special knitting project! The loop is worked using the fascinating double-knit technique (double-face). This creates a double-layered, wonderfully warm knit that can be worn on either side – with two right sides and an elegant, two-tone pattern.

The design has a reason for its name: The pattern appears as if a small square has fallen out of a large one. It's an original eye-catcher that will delight you as you knit it and will later become an indispensable accessory for many outfits.

The instructions guide you step by step through the double-knit project—from the Italian cast-on to knitting in the round to the elastic finish using the Italian cast-off method. Although double-knitting requires some practice at first, with a little patience, you'll quickly enjoy the technique and be proud of your results.

Start your double knitting adventure now and knit the Square Drop Loop – a project that will challenge you, inspire you, and reward you with an extraordinary result!
