J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à réaliser cette encolure qui se pose parfaitetement sur le haut du corps et permet de continuer en fantasies sur le reste de l'ouvrage ( dentelle ou rayures...) et permet de jouer sur la longueur désirée. Pour ma part, après l'empiècement du haut j'ai utilisé des reste de fils et de couleurs pour un joli dégradé arc-en-ciel.

Ad 178/45 - finnes det en instruksjonsvideo hvordan man øker to masker for raglan ved å strikke lenke. Litt usikker på hvilken vei jeg skal plassere lenken på pinnen for å få et "rent " hull på begge sider av masken med merketråd. Takk for svar!!

Hej Sigrun, jeg er ikke helt sikker på hvilken teknik du er ude efter. Prøv at søge på raglan, så får du flere forskellige teknikker frem. God fornøjelse!
