How to knit a square in garter stitch

Keywords: square,

In this DROPS video we show how to knit a square in garter stitch. We have several designs based on knitted squares.

This is how we knit the square in the video:
Cast on 8 sts on double pointed needles. Distribute sts on 4 needles with 2 sts per needle.
Knit a first round and at the same time insert a marker in the first stitch on every needle.
Round 2: Knit the stitches with markers and purl remaining sts at the same time inc 1 st by making a yarn over on each side of each st with marker (= 8 inc per round).
Round 3: Knit all sts, knit YO into back of loop to avoid holes.
Repeat Round 2 and 3.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Wenn ich ein größeres Quadrat stricken will (z.B. das (Sitz-)Kissen), was nicht auf die Strumpfnadeln passt, wie mache ich das?

Liebe Frau Kühn, dann stricken Sie weiter mit einer Rundnadel - hier sehen Sie, wie man krausrechts auf einer Rundnadel strickt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Jeg DYRKER jeres designs...de er bare så utroligt smukke. Jeg kom til at tænke på noget mens jeg så denne video. Jeg ved godt at I har en video til hæklede bedstemors-ruder, men er der nogen chance for, at man kan strikke ruderne som var de bedstemors-ruder, fordi jeres hæklede tæpper og puder er bare SÅ smukke, men jeg er bare en total tumpe til at hækle :(...med venlig hilsen Linda
