I used duplicate stitch when I re-made a personalized cardigan for my father-in-l,aw. It had belonged to my grandfather, but no one knew what to do with it after he passed away. It was a beautiful man’s cardigan with trees and a moose knitted in. It was in great condition except for a little minor wear I easily repaired. It had my grandfather’s initials knitted into the sleeve.

I carefully took apart that section of the sleeve, reknitted it with the plain background color of yarn, and then used duplicate stitch to embroider my father-in-law’s initials. It made an excellent, very appreciated Christmas gift. I told him and the family the history of the sweater, and how my grandmother, aunts and mother wanted someone else to enjoy the sweater Grandpa had enjoyed so much. I think my father-in-law likes it very much.
