![How To: Pick Up and Knit Stitches Along the Edge of Your Work
Learn two methods for picking up and knitting stitches along the edge of your working, using the principles from the Golden Ratio method.

If you wish to knit a sample and practice, the swatch is worked on a super-bulky yarn using US 10 needles.
Cast on 16 sts using the Long Tail cast on method.
Row 1 (RS): Knit.
Row 2 (WS): Purl.
Repeat [Rows 1 and 2] 7 more times (16 rows total).
Bind off knitwise with the RS facing.
To work the Pick Up THEN Knit method, you can use a double-pointed needle that is smaller than your working needle by several sizes. This video uses a US 7 to pick up the bars.
