How to knit a domino square

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit a domino square. Make several for your starting row. Then pick up sts along sides of two squares and work another square. Always make sure to slip 1st st on each row, and knit the last one, then you will have a nice edge on the square to pick up sts in afterwards. WS rows: knit if you are working in garter, purl if stockinette. RS rows: knit all sts and work middle 3 sts together to 1 stitch by: slip 1, K2 tog, pass slipped st over.

How to work a domino square

In this DROPS video we show how we work a domino square. Cast on 5 stitches and insert 1 marker thread in the middle stitch. Work the domino square as follows: ROW 1 (= wrong side): Knit. ROW 2 (= right side): Knit as far as the stitch with the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1 (stitch with marker thread), 1 yarn over, knit to end of row. ROW 3 (= wrong side): Knit. ROW 4 (= right side): Knit as far as the stitch with the marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 1 (stitch with marker thread), 1 yarn over, knit to end of row. Work ROWS 1-4 onwards until finish measurement. Cast off – but on the cast-off row increase as before in the corner; yarn overs are cast off as you go (this avoids the corners being tight). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You also need to read the pattern as well as watch the video. You will find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.
