What can I say? I’m still a scientist at heart, and I love DNA cable-knitting.
This is definitely not the first DNA cable-knitting I’ve done, but it is the first time I’ve made my own pattern with it, as well as the first time I’ve ever attempted a provisional cast-on or such an interesting graft. I am ecstatic with how it turned out.
For a clean, ad free, fluff free, printable PDF version of the pattern, it is available in my Etsy Shop, as well as my personal shop for a small fee, I greatly appreciate your support!
I am trying to decipher the instructions in row 5 of the circular dna scarf knitting pattern: (skip1 st, knit second stitch, leaving it on the needle, knit the skipped stitch, then slip both stitches from needle together). I cannot figure out how to do this. Please send me a video or better instructions. Thank you.
Great question, it is kind of an odd knitting pattern and the stitches get a little on top of one another. In response to this question I’ve uploaded my first ever YouTube video with a quick tutorial on how to stitch it. Please forgive the quality, I’m new to shooting knitting videos, but I hope that it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vim1rc1VwBg

Hi,
Thanks so much for this, I’m really enjoying the pattern so far. Quick question about the fifth instruction from the bottom:
Slide 1 to cable needle, hold on back K2,then K2 from cable needle.
How does that work, do I need to slide 2 to start rather than 1?
Thanks
Rachel

Oh my gosh, great catch!
That *should* read “Slide 2 to cable needle, hold in back. K1, then k2 from cable needle.”
I’ve updated the pattern to show this in the key.
