Here is an easy knitting pattern explanation for using two skewers:Materials:
- Two wooden skewers (or chopsticks)
- Medium weight yarn
- Scissors
- Cast on an even number of stitches on both skewers. To do this, hold one skewer in your right hand and one in your left hand. Tie a slip knot around the right-hand skewer, leaving a tail of yarn. Insert the left-hand skewer into the loop of the slip knot from left to right. Hold both skewers in your left hand, and use your right hand to wrap the yarn around the right-hand skewer from front to back, then pull the loop of yarn through the loop on the left-hand skewer. This creates a new stitch. Repeat this process, alternating between skewers, until you have cast on the desired number of stitches.
- Knit every row by inserting the right-hand skewer into the first stitch on the left-hand skewer, from left to right. Wrap the yarn around the right-hand skewer from front to back, then pull the loop of yarn through the stitch. Slip the stitch off the left-hand skewer. Repeat this process for each stitch, going back and forth between the skewers until the piece is the desired length.
- To finish, cast off by knitting two stitches onto the right-hand skewer, then slipping the first stitch over the second stitch and off the skewer. Knit one more stitch, then slip the previous stitch over the new one and off the skewer. Repeat this process until you have one stitch left on the right-hand skewer. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull the tail through the last stitch to secure it.
