Under black light #atouchoflovecowl #dukeofnikko

A Touch of Love Cowl is worked flat with provisional cast on, then seamed at the end using 3-needle bind off. This little swatch shows the seam between the first row and the last row. They are nice techniques to keep under your belt. #atouchoflovecowl #dukeofnikko

A Touch of Love Cowl measures approximately 7¼" high × 28" around (18.5 cm × 70 cm). You'll need roughly half a skein (50g) each of fingering-weight yarn in main and contrasting colors. The Philadelphia-based Kelbourne Woolens' @kelbournewoolens Camper is sold in half-skein sizes.

LOVE #dukeofnikko #atouchoflovecowl

A Touch of Love Cowl is now available FREE for download on Ravelry, LoveCrafts and Payhip! It features shadow knitting (also known as illusion knitting), which is a technique using the textural characteristics of knits and purls to create a very subtle graphic motif

Can you spot the hidden message? 👀 A Touch of Love Cowl features a shadow knitting technique that reveals a secret design depending on how you look at it. The knitting pattern is dropping very soon—stay tuned! ✨ #atouchoflovecowl #dukeofnikko

A new pattern coming this weekend #atouchoflovecowl #dukeofnikko

Happy Pride Month!

Test knitters of Feathered Arrow Scarf - I appreciate you so much! The pattern will be available to the public in July. #featheredarrowscarf #dukeofnikko

酒 -- Sake, Alcohol (for drinking and cooking) "Mizu Sake Coaster" two-pattern double knitting pattern @kelbournewoolens Mojave (60% cotton, 40% linen) My tension is still all over the place. #doubleknitting #twopatterndoubleknitting

Duke Aikba @nikkoduke.bsky.social has created a brand-new double-knit pattern for this box! Duke enjoys colourwork knitting and is especially interested in incorporating his Japanese heritage in his colourwork designs.

Illusion knitting. Can you see the letter E?

True story - While strolling down the street that day, some guy driving by rolled down the window and shouted, "I like your style!" 😃 #guyswhoknit

Made a double-knit hearts display for South Philly Yarn and Craft #doubleknitting

Calling for test knitters! This pattern is intended for knitters that are new to double knitting, using simple cast-on, bind-off and selvedge treatment so you can focus more on the main body of the work. Interested? Check out the link for details and sign-up. forms.gle/TqoY6htc13fJ...

This sweater makes me want to pose!

Front, back, inside out. I love that Intarsia has no floats so it can be worn inside out (if you can overlook a few bumpy areas) The original neck opening was too wide so I re-did it. I also added a few inches of waist hem for better coverage of my belly. #sweaterknitting #intarsiaknitting

5 fingering weight yarn, 10+ different stitches (stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, plus 1x1 ribbing with some of them). Mixing them in one sweater was a lot of fun! #sweaterknitter #knittingaddict #knittinglove

Can you see I'm into diagonal colo1r blocks right now? Another sweater done. I mixed 5 different skeins of fingering weight yarn with Intarsia knitting, and alternated stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches. Can you see I'm into diagonal color blocks right now? #guyswhoknit #sweaterknitter

Front side comparison of the 2 recent sweaters I knitted. The armholes of the black & white sweater was a little too big, so I made the other one with tighter armholes. #sweaterknitter #guyswhoknit

The 2 sweaters I recently made are both Bottom-Up straight silhouette with square-indented sleeves (a little simpler than set-in sleeves) and crewneck. Many people prefer Top-Down sweaters because they dislike seaming, but I enjoy mattress stitch seaming, as much as I do duplicate stitch

木 (Ki - Tree) and 本 (Hon - Root / Book) are very similar looking kanji characters, yet have different meanings Kind of like the comparison between "O" and "Q" From my "Ki (Tree) Hat" and "Nippon (Japan) Headband" knitting patterns #amimoji #typographyknitting #kanjiknitting #編み文字 #japaneseknitting

Knitting love 5 skeins of fingering weight yarn resulted in these #guyswhoknit #knittinglife #fingeringweightyarn

I like using leftover yarn to make smaller accessories. Using what was left from recent sweater knitting, I made a pair of socks, mitts and finger covers. #knittinglife #sockknitting #mittsknitting

Happy New Year!

New diagonal sweater is done! I used 5 fingering sock yarns and Intarsia knitting for diagonal color blocks. Asymmetry makes it fun to look at from all the angles! #guyswhoknit #sweaterknitter

Made a pair of sacks for fingerless mitts

水酒 (Mizu Sake) coaster is one of my earlier designs from 2019. When I look at this sample from 6 years ago, I feel horrified by the uneven stitch tension. But non-mirrored double knitting is a very challenging technique. It's a free pattern by the way, if anyone wants to challenge yourself!

Hand-knit pants in the wild. They are very comfy! I acquired these yarns from my mom many years ago. For a long time I didn't know what to do with these rather novelty yarns, but this year a light bulb lit up in my head and thought this tweedy boucle yarn could obscure the crotch area perfectly.

New sweater in the making #guyswhoknit #intarsiaknitting #variegatedyarn

日 (Sun / Day) is one of the most fundamental kanji characters in Japan, as it is part of the country name Nippon (日本 - Sun Root or root of the sun) It is also part of my designer name Nikko (日光 - Sun Light) Have a great 日 (day)! Nippon (Japan) Headband is a free pattern of mine from 2019!

A single-ply yarn like @malabrigoyarn Mecha hides uneven tension very well Colorways are "882 Azul Fresco" and "009 Polar Morn" #dukeofnikko #doubleknitting #doubleknitscarf #risingsteamscarf
