How to knit a horizontal 2-coloured braid

In this DROPS video we show how to knit a horizontal 2-coloured braid (aka Lateral braid or Estonian Vikkel braid).
Knitting a horizontal braid creates a line of horizontally-aligned knit stitches. You can do single or multicolored Vikkel braid.
Start by casting on a new stitch before the first stitch.
*Knit with col 1 into the back of the 2nd stitch. Then knit with col 2 into the 1st stitch. Drop both stitches off the left needle. Slip the first stitch on right needle back onto the left needle, knit with col 2 into the back of the 2nd stitch. Then knit with col 1 into the 1st stitch. Drop both stitches off the left needle. Slip the first stitch on right needle back onto the left needle *. Repeat *-* until last st on row. K last st, and pass next to last st over.
