How to work the ear to the bookmark in DROPS Extra 0-1576

In this DROPS video we show how to work the ear to the bookmark “Library Mouse“ in DROPS Extra 0-1576. Work like this: * Knit 1, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* in the same stitch until you have 15 stitches for the ear. Work short rows back and forth over these stitches as follows: Turn, purl from the wrong side until there is 1 stitch left, turn, tighten the strand, knit from the right side until there is 1 stitch left, turn, tighten the strand, purl from the wrong side until there are 2 stitches left turn, tighten the strand, knit from the right side until there are 2 stitches left, turn. Continue like this back and forth until there are 5 stitches left on each side, turn, purl to the end of the row from the wrong side, turn cast off with knit from the right side, using a double strand and, to avoid the cast-off edge being tight, make 1 yarn over after every 2nd stitch at the same time as you cast off (yarn overs cast off as normal stitches) = 1 stitch left. Continue as described in the text. This bookmark is worked in DROPS Alpaca, but in the video, we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.
