How to knit the rib with displacement on the socks in DROPS 150-20

In this DROPS video we show how to get the rib on the left sock in DROPS 150-20 to twist to the right.

Insert 1 marker in a K (knit) stitch in each side of the sock according to the pattern. At the first st with marker dec on every round by slipping the K st , K the next st and pass the slipped stitch over. Continue rib with K over K and P over P until you get to the next marker in the other side. Now make a yo before the K st, and repeat on every round. On next round K YO twisted (i.e. knit in the back loop of st) and make a new yo right before the K st with marker.

We knit several rounds to show the procedure and finally we show how it looks when you have knitted about 20 rounds. In the pattern there are more sts on the sock than what we show in the video and therefore more stitches between the 2 markers.

These socks are made in DROPS Fabel, but in the video we knit with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.

Ik ben een beginnende sokkenbreister. Op de ene naald krijg ik steeds meer steken, op de andere steeds minder. Hoe verdeel ik de steken weer gelijk over de vier naalden?
