Alasdair Post-Quinn over at the Twist Collective made a tutorial which–yes, is a little precious and slow but also—is rawther comprehensive regarding an elegant cast on for Double Knitting color work.

Add to that the very clear tutorial at KnittingHelp.com (scroll down for the “Double Knitting” video link near the bottom of the page) and you’ll have learned a ton in under 20 minutes. (Plus Alasdair’s pattern is gorgeous!)

Then get a copy of Sweater Quest: My Year of Knitting Dangerously by Adrienne Martini (thanks Meg!)  and pat yourself on the back for only having go so far as to attempt double knitting rather than a Starmore Tudor Rose.

Resist the Tudor.
