Double Dutch is worked from the top down as a crescent. It starts gently, easing you into the swing of increases that set the pace; after the centre part is completed, the contrasting colour is joined in for the mosaic portion, and finally the shawl is finished with a band of garter stitch, allowing you to catch your breath after a little bit of a challenge.

The mosaic stitch pattern is charted only.
