Learn two methods for picking up and knitting stitches along the edge of your working, using the principles from the Golden Ratio method.

*Learn the Golden Ratio Method for YOUR Gauge:* youtu.be/dfJJVNN47ec

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.
