I’m knitting with two threads of yarn.

The pattern is nice on both sides.

Modification:
different front band.
That’s a method of picking up stitches simultaneously from both sides of the knit.
The videos are in Russian, no necessary to know the language to understand them. ;o)
Just watch them intently. :o)

I used 2 circular needles and adapted it for the front band finishing with I-cord bind off and buttonholes in right front band. That’s all! ;o):o)
