How To Knit: Box Pleats | Brooklyn Tweed

Box pleating is a deceptively simple technique that allows you to create dimension and shape your fabric by folding it in on itself in a symmetrical pleat, joining the layers of the folds into one. Steps: Setup: 0:42 Determine the stitches that will form the pleat. The pleat must be worked over a multiple of 6 stitches. For best results, mark off the pleat stitches using stitch markers. Divide your pleat stitches by six - here, we’ll use N to mean ⅙ of your pleat stitches. First Half: 1:19 On the row or round where you will join your pleat, work up to the first pleat marker and remove it, slip the next N stitches on your left working needle to one DPN, [slip following N stitches on your left needle to a separate DPN] two times, rotate second DPN 180 degrees so that it lies behind the first DPN with the wrong sides together, and in front of the third DPN with right sides together. [With the right working needle, enter into 1 stitch from each of three DPNs and k3tog] N times. Set DPNs aside. Second Half: 5:35 Slip the next N stitches on your left needle to one DPN, [slip following N stitches on your left needle to a separate DPN] two times, remove second pleat marker, rotate second DPN 180 degrees so that it lies in front of the first DPN with right sides together, and behind the third DPN with wrong sides together. [With the right working needle, enter into 1 stitch from each of three DPNs and k3tog] N times. Set DPNs aside. This creates an “inward” or inverted box pleat. To create an “outward” or standard box pleat, switch the directions in which you fold the DPNs - for the first half, fold the DPNs as for the second half here, and vice versa.
