Keywords: circular needle, garter stitch, socks,
In this DROPS video we show how to pick up stitches on the side to a sock and how to move stitches from a thread back onto needles. You can use 2 or several double pointed needles or a circular needle as we do in the video.
We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
You will also need to read a pattern with further description in addition to watching the video. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the picture below.

I am knitting slippers (Sweet Sara by DROPS Design Pattern no EE-334). I had just begun the right slipper and have already encountered a problem. Knitting the strap was easy, but then the directions state: "Cut the thread and put [strap] stitches on a holder" and then to "cast on 3 sts (toward the toes), work sts from holder [the strap] and cast on 6 sts toward the heel". Is there a video to show me what is meant by these directions? I am baffled!

Dear Mrs Opella, after you have worked the strap cut the yarn and put piece aside. Now cast on 3 stitches, work the stitches from the strap then cast on 6 stitches (as shown in this video - seen from RS the new 3 sts will be towards toe while the new 6 sts will be towards heel. Happy knitting! 23.08.2023 - 09:22
