Tricote ensuite avec 1 m lis au point mousse de chaque côté et diminuez les m lis de chaque côté (= 2 m ens à l'end) à la hauteur indiquée.

I've watched the video over and over and read the directions. I finished the 1st part of the slipper now I am trying to figure out how to work 4 ridges at the same time??? I do not understand the directions for the top part of the slipper.

09.12.2014 - 19:34

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Gasaway, when working the loose leg across, you work 4 ridges (= 8 rows K), when working the 8th row, inc 6 sts evenly = 28 sts - at the end of loose leg, work again 4 ridges, and on 1st K row, dec 6 sts evenly = 22 sts. Happy knitting!

Thank you! Once I realized you used five double pointed needles instead of only four, it was much easier. Haha

I have watched the video and am not sure yet how to pick up stitches along middle of foot. Do I have 65 stitches all on one needle? Where do I put stitches from such holder? In really frustrated that I can not figure this out.

19.10.2014 - 14:00

DROPS Design :

Dear Dianna, when you get 10 sts on middle of foot, pick up from RS 14 sts along the left side of middle foot, knit the sts from thread/st holder and pick up 14 sts along the right side of middle foot = 65 sts. Happy knitting!

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.

How to knit a sock with a gusset heel – short overview

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit a sock with a gusset heel - arguably the most common method for working a heel. To begin, 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: 1) The heel is first worked in height, back and forth across the heel-stitches. 2) Next, the bottom of the heel is worked to the required width and length by working short rows and decreasing stitches. 3) Once this step is completed, continue knitting in the round across all stitches, knitting up stitches on both sides of the heel (along the length). 4) The width and shape of the foot is worked by decreasing stitches on both sides, forming a small gusset heel – that is why this type of heel is known as a gusset heel.

Then work these stitches, the new pickup stitches along the sides and the stitches from the stitch holder, and work around again. Decrease stitches and work around to finish measurement, cast off and fold the slipper and sew under foot in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch. These slippers are worked in DROPS Snow, the same yarn we use in the video. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.
