Monica Knits

Duplicate stitch is a type of embroidery on knitting which mimics the stocking stitch and provides a method of introducing color to a completed knitting project.

In the duplicate stitch, the needle is first passed from the wrong side to the good side of the fabric, beneath the "V" of the stitch which will be duplicated. Then the yarn is passed behind the vertical "bars" of the stitch above the intended stitch location. In the third step the yarn returns through the original opening below the stitch, from good side to wrong side. Additional stitches are completed similarly.

This photo shows 2 completed stitches and the beginning of a third to create the argyle pattern.
