In this DROPS video we show how to work the ear to the bookmark “Library Mouse“ in DROPS Extra 0-1576. Work like this: * Knit 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* in the same stitch until you have 15 stitches for the ear. Work short rows back and forth over these stitches as follows: Turn, purl from the wrong side until there is 1 stitch left, turn, tighten the strand, knit from the right side until there is 1 stitch left, turn, tighten the strand, purl from the wrong side until there are 2 stitches left turn, tighten the strand, knit from the right side until there are 2 stitches left, turn. Continue like this back and forth until there are 5 stitches left on each side, turn, purl to the end of the row from the wrong side, turn bind off with knit from the right side, using a double strand and, to avoid the bind-off edge being tight, make 1 yarn over after every 2nd stitch at the same time as you bind off (yarn overs bind off as normal stitches) = 1 stitch left.

How to knit a sock with a square heel

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit a sock with a square heel. The stitches on top of the foot are placed on a thread, while the stitches at the back are kept on the needles and the heel is worked as follows (the heel extends under the foot): 1) The heel is worked back and forth across the heel-stitches to achieve the correct height. For this type of heel, the length reaches midway under the heel. 2) Next, the heel is knitted together beneath the foot. 3) The sock is then continued in the round, with stitches picked up along both sides of the heel length, working towards the toe. 4) This heel creates a square shape, which is why this type of heel is known as a square heel.
