How to work a folding edge together

Keywords: chart, flounce, kant, slippers, socks,

In this DROPS video we show how to work a folding edge together, like the one in the “Rosy Ruffles” socks in DROPS 223-47. We have already worked the flounce edge and we place a marker in the first stitch on last round. Work a rib with knit 2/purl 1 to right measurements. Fold the beginning of piece in towards wrong side of piece so that you can pick up stitch in the first round with rib after A.1 (piece is now folded with wrong side towards wrong side and flounce is pointing upwards over the needles). Knit 1 round while at the same time as every knit stitch from the first round with rib is knitted together with next stitch on round (i.e. every 3rd stitch from the first round with rib is fastened to the round being worked now). Turn the piece inside out so that flounce is on the outside of piece, this is now the right side of sock. Knit 1 round (as the round is turned there might be a small hole in the transition but this can be sewn up with a small stitch at the end). These socks are worked in DROPS Nord, but in this video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.
