Video thumbnail for Crochet: How to work the neck in 170-2
In this DROPS video we show first how to work the neck in the back piece and then the front piece in DROPS 170-2. In the video we work with a thinner yarn than the one listed in the pattern, so the measurement are not correct when we start dec in the round/row (We do not start dec the same round / row as it says in the pattern). REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow. To see the pattern, go to: DROPS 170-2

Dzień dobry. Czy istnieje możliwość przesłania na emaila instrukcji po polsku? Dopiero zaczynam szydełkować i nie potrafię jeszcze czytać schematów. Taka instrukcja krok po kroku jest nieoceniona.

DROPS Design :

Witaj Elu, wzór napisany jest w ten sposób, gdyż inaczej byłby bardzo długi. Jak czytać nasze szydełkowe schematy znajdziesz TUTAJ. Z doświadczenia wiem, że pierwsze rozpracowywanie wzoru bywa trudne, później jest już znacznie łatwiej. Gdy tylko pojawi się problem od razu pytaj. Postaramy się odpowiedzieć na wszystkie pytania. Pozdrawiamy!

Hej, Enligt mönstret ska framstycket virkas som bakstycket tills det mäter 17 cm från mitten (totalt 32) Det ska då finnas ca 14 rapporter av A3 längs varje sida av fyrkanten. Vid 17 (32) cm har jag inte påbörjat A3 på framstycket ännu. Står det rätt, eller har jag missuppfattat något?

Hallo liebes DROPS-Team. Die Videoanleitung zum Hslsausschnitt startet nicht. Liegt das am Video oder liegt der Fehler bei mir? Andere Videos lassen sich öffnen. Grüsse aus Deutschland.
