How to work knit 2 twisted, purl 2 (in the round) – Nordic knitting style

In this DROPS video we show you how to work knit 2 twisted, purl 2, in the round using the Nordic knitting style. This textured pattern is called rib/ribbing and is one of many varieties.

BEFORE THE VIDEO STARTS:
The stitch count needs to be divisible by 4 so that all knitted-twisted stitches are above each other and all purled stitches are above each other. We have already worked a few centimeters of the ribbed pattern.

THE VIDEO SHOWS:
ROUND 1: Knit 2 twisted, purl 2, to end of round. When knitting twisted, you knit through the back loop of the stitch so the stitch twists.
ROUND 2: The stitches are worked in the same way as the stitches below = knit twisted above knit twisted and purl above purl.

Repeat ROUND 2 onward.

Hei Mariam. I denne videoen er det brukt DROPS Snow (lys beige nr. 47), som er et blødt, tykt og letstrikket 1-tråds garn, det er spundet af 100% ren uld, som giver bløde, varme og komfortable sweaters, og så er det perfekt til at filte. Du kan lese mer om garnet under GARN & PINDE - DROPS Snow. mvh DROPS Design
