21.09.2023 kl. 11:08Goedemorgen, ik wil graag het Finnley vest nogmaals breien maar dan zonder de kabels op de rug. Het rug gedeelte wil ik met tricotsteek breien. Vraag: moet ik dan het aantal steken voor het rug gedeelte aanpassen naar minder steken of kan ik het aantal steken gebruiken zoals dat in het patroon staat beschreven (met kabel). Alvast dank voor uw reactie. Groet,
04.09.2023 - 09:52DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda,
Je moet inderdaad minder steken hebben. Het is per kabel een beetje verschillend, maar globaal kun je per de steken ongeveer door de helft doen, dus als je een kabel hebt van 6 steken breed, zou je 3 steken moeten hebben in tricotsteek.
04.09.2023 kl. 20:11Bonjour comment faire ce modèle sans aiguilles circulaires . Merci
21.08.2023 - 15:24DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Françoise, tout à fait, on tricote ici sur aiguille circulaire pour avoir suffisamment de place pour y loger toutes les mailles, vous pouvez ainsi utiliser des aiguilles droites, vos mailles seront juste plus serrées, pensez à bien conserver la bonn tension. Retrouvez plus d'infos sur les aiguilles circulaires ici. Bon tricot!
22.08.2023 kl. 09:11Goededag, ik brei maat L, de mouw is aan de bovenarm veel te wijd, de mouw past wel goed in de armsgaten maar is aan beide zijden over de gehele bovenarm minstens 10 cm te wijd. Ik heb om de 3 naalden gemeerderd tot 100 steken.?wat heb ik verkeerd gedaan?
06.07.2023 - 21:37DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda,
Wat bedoel je met dat de mouw wel in het armsgat past, maar toch te wijd is? Als de mouw te wijd is, dan zou het toch ook niet in het armsgat passen? Kloppen de maten wel met de tekening? Als je de mouw in de lengte dubbel vouwt, zou hij op het breedste punt ongeveer 24 cm moeten zijn.
01.08.2023 kl. 20:04Hallo, met betrekking tot mijn vorige vraag en uw antwoord betreft. de sjaal: graag uitleg of ik voor de 26 minderingen de steken uit A3 moet gebruiken; dat zijn dus de kabelsteken. Dus: 11 steken van A2 minderen , daarna nog 15 steken van A3? Als ik dat doe dan lopen de kabels toch niet meer goed door. Graag uw snelle reactie want het breiwerk ligt stil. Met dank,
07.06.2023 - 11:39DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda,
Je mindert na A.1, dus in het eerste stuk van A.2 krijg je minder steken. De kabels moeten wel boven elkaar blijven. Zie ook de foto.
07.06.2023 kl. 14:34Goedenavond, ik heb een vraag over de sjaal breien: ik kom er niet uit: ( 3 x na 5 nld en 23 x na 3 nld) in totaal 26 x 1 st meerderen en ook 26 x 1 st minderen in A2. Er zijn maar 12 st in A2, hoe ga ik verder met minderen? Welke steken minder ik in de naald waarin ik meerder/ Alvast dank voor het antwoord.
04.06.2023 - 20:29DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda B,
Je maakt eerst om de 1,5 cm een meerdering voor A.1 door een omslag te maken en een mindering na A.1 Dit doe je in totaal 0-2-3-3-3-4 keer. Daarna blijf je doorgaan op dezelfde manier allen dan om de 1 cm (ipv om de 1,5 cm) en dit doe je in totaal 26-24-23-24-25-24 keer.
07.06.2023 kl. 11:26Hallo, mijn vraag gaat over de kabels van het achterpand, met name de middelste dikke kabel. Voor de eerste middelste kabel brei ik 4 rechte steken en na de volgende middelste kabel ook weer 4 rechte steken. Deze kabel wordt geen mooie kabel zoals op de foto, ik vermoed door de 4 rechte steken ervoor en erna. Ben 3 keer opnieuw begonnen maar het lukt niet. Wat doe ik verkeerd? Alvast dank voor uw antwoord. Groet.
19.05.2023 - 07:40DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda,
Om het effect van de dikke kabel te kunnen zien, moet je een stukje verder breien en ook de volgende kabeling gedaan hebben. Eerst brei je 4 rechte steken ervoor en een stukje later brei je 4 rechte steken erna. Dit wissel je steeds af. Zie ook het telpatroon met deze kabel.
23.05.2023 kl. 10:44Goedemorgen, ik brei Finnley maat L, ben nu met nld 3 begonnen en aangekomen bij de 32 st (beginnend met 2 r en eindigend met 2 r) waarin ik 8 minderingen moet maken. Deze 8 minderingen kan ik alleen maken als ik de 2 av steken voor en na de 32 st erbij betrek. Is dit mogelijk wat het patroon betreft? Ik weet anders niet hoe ik de 8 minderingen kan realiseren. Ik hoop op een snel antwoord zodat ik verder kan. De moed voor dit mooie patroon zakt weg nu ik 3 dagen over de eerste 12 nld heb gedaan
11.05.2023 - 09:57DROPS Design answered:
Dag Linda,
Je mindert de 8 steken alleen in de averechte steken van die 32 steken en je mindert dus van 32 naar 24 steken. Als het goed ik zou je goed uit moeten komen door de 3 av te minderen naar 2 av. Op de volgende naald brei je A.8 over die middelste 24 steken.
15.05.2023 kl. 20:35Betreft kabelvest Finnley maat L: gisteren en vandaag heb ik via deze site hulp gevraagd bij het breien van de boord van het vest. Ik heb inmiddels zelf uitgevonden hoe ik dit deel kan breien. Mijn vragen hoeven dus niet meer beantwoord te worden. Met vriendelijke groet,
10.05.2023 - 20:22Goedemiddag, ik brei het Finnley kabelvest maat L en kom niet uit de patroonbeschrijving. De eerste 2 nld vd boord heb ik gebreid (1 heengaande en 1 teruggaande), Het patroon schrijft: ga zo verder en herhaal de eerste 2 nld in A3-A6 tot er 12 nld zijn gebreid. Wordt hier bedoeld dat ik de volgende naalden brei in dezelfde volgorde van diagrammen als in de eerste naald tot ik 12 nld heb, dus A6, A4, A 3, 2 av, 2 r, *3 av, 2 r* in totaal 6 maal, 2 av, A3, A4, A5, 1 kantst rib. Graag uw hulp
