Preparing to graft

This photo is going to stand as a reminder that I should just frog back to fix mistakes rather than hacking my knitting apart. Because the hacking part? A total pain in the ass. I had to unpick a few rows just to get the correct number of stitches back on the needles. Now I have to figure out how to kitchener 2x2 rib.

The sock has been turned inside out to protect the innocent!

Lots of swatching happened tonight! So here's how to graft 2x2 rib, where you chopped up your knitting so that one of the pieces is shifted by a half-stitch. The normal 2x2 is the lower instructions, and the 1/2 stitch shifted portion is on the upper. Start with the two knit stitches.

The stitch in parenthesis is the type of stitch on the needle. Always drop the first stitch in a pair.

(k) Lower - draw yarn through as if to K

(k) Upper - as if to P

	savannahchik says: oh no :( is this a sock i would recognize? the colors seem similar... either way, good luck. 2x2 kitchener isn't so bad once you get a rhythm going. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	kelp! says: Yes, it's the same sock. I changed my mind about the cuff stitches, multiple times. I was considering chopping up both socks to switch up the rib, but no. What I have is good enough. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
