Waarom een rondbreinaald als je gewoon heen en weer breit? Wat is daar het voordeel van?

DROPS Design :

Dag Sylvia,

Als je heel veel steken op de naald hebt kan een rondbreinaald handiger zijn, bijvoorbeeld als je een vest breit zonder zijnaden. Ook als je mouwen en het lijf samenvoegt, kan je bij de overgangen beter door de bocht. Verder vinden sommige mensen rondbreinaalden gewoon prettiger breien.

How to work a rib (knit 1, purl 1) around with circular needles

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches.
