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.
