Hallo in der Arm anleitung steht wenn A7 gestrickt ist dann A8 stricken wo finde ich das?
Comment faire suivre les fils des pelotes en attente quand on tricote les manches en rond?
Hej! Jag undrar lite över ärmarna. När man gjort en ärm, står det "sticka en ärm till på samma sätt". Måste man inte sticka spegelvänt? Man maskar ju av bara i en sida. Måste man inte maska av i andra sidan på ärm nr 2?
Kan det passe at knapperne til denne cardigan kun skal være 15 mm?
Hej. Jag har handarbetat mycket men förstår inte hur man ska göra med färgbyte innanför kanten då blir ju färgen fel? Förstår inte heller om man ska sticka A1 A2 osv en gång eller fler.
Hallo wie muss ich die Aussage in der Anleitung verstehen *die kürzeren Maße bei den größeren Größen werden durch eine längere passe ausgeglichen *was muss oder soll ich denn jetzt machen ich stricke die Größe L/Xl LG. Konni
Vraiment un très joli modèle coloré sans être trop compliqué à faire puisque c'est la laine Fabel qui est ainsi faite.J'aime beaucoup et j'ai vite commandé et reçu la laine.
Bonjour, J'ai commencé à tricoter ce joli cardigan en fabel mais je ne sais pas à partir d'où ? (pointe des triangles ou bande au point mousse) il faut mesurer pour changer les rayures de couleur; J'ai mesuré à partir des pointes pour le changement des rayures et à partir de la bande de boutonnage pour les boutonnières mais j'aimerais mieux comprendre ! J'en suis à A4. D'avance merci.
Thank you so much for answering my question so quickly. Totally different from what I thought. Your patterns are so complete. Your women's patterns are very feminine as well. The fact that your patterns are all free is totally amazing. I have made many of them and some of them more than once.
I don't understand how to work the charts for the sleeves. When it starts you have to work chart A7 for one complete vertical and then go on to A8. When I start the A7 chart do I complete all 16 rows? Thank you for anything you can do to make this clearer.
