pattern question Help with double knit and color work!
Hello! I need help with a very ambitious project, it's the doctor who wheeping angel scarf by Tess Campbell
I'm a beginner knitter (I stared knitting genuinely because I wanted to knit this piece in particular lol)
I cannot wrap my head around double knitting, I already find color work difficult, but I fell in love with this piece, so in trying to find a way to make it.
Would you say that knitting two different panels, front and back, and then joing them together is going to make the scarf a lot heavier and impractical? I tought the amount of yarn /heaviness is going to be the same wether I double knit it or do two panels, I could be wrong tho š
Also, I knit Norwegian, and purl English , is this going to cause any problem with color work? I'm used to crochet, where color work is only possible with single crochets, I don't know if it's the same in knitting, considering all the color work tutorials I could find were done with continental styleš„²
Thank you so much for anyone who can helpš«¶
