If you make a mistake, no need to worry, you can easily rip it out and start over and it won’t affect your knitting!.

You may need to adjust the tension of your stitches after you finish to make sure they look even with the others, which you can do with your tapestry needle.

I find it easiest to work charts back and forth, from the bottom up, as you will see me do in the video.

If you are applying a chart to a glove for example, you want to make sure the chart will end up centered on your hand height wise and width wise, so be sure to try the glove on to determine which stitch you would need to start on for the chart to end up centered.

Count how many stitches tall and wide the chart is (this heart is 5 by 5 for example), then mark where you would like your chart to be positioned on your knitted item.

Here are a few tips that will help you when using this technique: In the video you will notice I cut out me doing Row 4 of the chart (it got kinda boring, lol), but hopefully you caught on at the point 🙂 Again, the basic concept to duplicate a stitch is that you come through the stitch below the one you’re duplicating from back to front, back and around the stitch above the one you’re duplicating, then back through the stitch below from the front to the back of your knitting. You will need to thread your needle with approximately 26 inches of yarn to make this heart.

To begin working your Duplicate stitch, you will need an object with a Stocking stitch field, a yarn needle, and about 2 yards of yarn in the color you will use for the Duplicate stitch design. With duplicate stitch, all you will need to add a color chart to your knitting is a tapestry needle and some yarn. Tips Use a sticky note to cover up the rows you’ve already worked.
