Hei) Jeg har akkurat fullført jakken til min svigerdatter. Den ble nydelig! Men mitt barnebarn ( 7) ønsker også en!! Finner jeg denne i barnestørrelse? Mvh Anne-Grethe 👍

Hei Anne-Grethe, Du finner alle våre barngensere ved å søke i søkeboksen. Hvis du vil ha akkurat den samme genseren, kan du justere antall masker og pinner for å redusere størrelsen. Lykke til! God fornøyelse!
03.11.2022 kl. 07:04Hei, spm mine over her gjaldt forstykket, tror dere svarer på bakstykket? Jeg lurer på om/hvordan jeg skal felle samtidig som A1 skal strikkes (1 omg etter vrangbord).
07.07.2022 - 07:23DROPS Design answered:
Hej Elisabeth, Du feller ved at strikke 2 vrangmasker sammen på hver side af hul/boblemønsteret i A.1 når du strikker 1.pind (1.pind = nederste pind i diagrammet) 2.pind strikker du fra vrangen (vi beskriver hvordan det skal se ud fra retsiden), vi skal prøve at skrive det tydeligere i opskriften :)
02.08.2022 kl. 14:11To spm: Jeg skjønner ikke 1. omg etter vrangbord på forstykket. I str S, skal d felles jevnt 8 m over 17 m, samtidig som man begynner på A1? Neste omg som beskrives (omg 2 etter vrangbord?) er også fra retten. Hvordan skal vrangen i mellom strikkes?
05.07.2022 - 21:59DROPS Design answered:
Hei Elizabeth, Etter vrangborden, strikker du 1 rad rett og feller 11 masker jevnt på raden. Deretter strikker du glattstrikk (vrang fra vrangen på rad 2) med 1 kantmaske i rille i hver side. Forsetter med glattstrikk fram og tilbake. God fornøyelse!
