In this DROPS video we show how you can knit edge stitches in stockinette stitch.

When knitting a piece you have 1 stitch in each side of your work that is an edge stitch. The edge stitch are usually not included in the pattern, and there are different ways to work the edge stitches. This depends on what kind of edge it is, if it will be sewn later like a side seam, if it will be open like on a scarf or a front edge of a jacket.

Edge sts in stockinette is great when you are knitting a piece in stockinette and using a heavier yarn. Then you don’t want a thick side seam, and you want to be able to sew in the outer stitch edge. Knit the edge sts on rows from RS, and purl the edge sts on rows from WS.

In this DROPS video we show how to place and use a marking thread (MT).

It’s often a good idea to use a marking thread to mark where to make inc, or dec, the start of the round or the sides when working in the round on double pointed needles or circular needles etc.
You can let the thread follow your work and then just pull it out afterward. In our video we are inc 1 st each side of the marking thread.

Food stylist and author Karen Tack, shows parents how to create super cute cupcakes of Ming Ming the duck (from Nick Jr.’s TV series, “The Wonder Pets”) using store bought supplies like chocolate taffy, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, and canned frosting.

In this DROPS video we show two ways to make a provisional cast on where you afterward will have live sts to work the opposite way.

First we are casting on using a waste yarn, then we are casting on around the cable of a circular needle. When using the circular needle you can easily afterward just pull the needle through to knit position and start working the sts for a hem, cuff, border etc.

In this DROPS video we show how you can weave in tails in stocking stitch.

Always weave in your tails on the wrong side of your knitted stocking st piece. With the needle and yarn follow the stitches sideways over 2 rows. Halfway through video we show you the same thing with a contrasting yarn to make it easier to follow.

As you can see with this method your weaved in tail will not show on your right side.
