In this DROPS video we show you how to decrease in English rib, as on the jumper in DROPS 133-11. We show the decrease one time in each side, and one more time in one side after knitted 3 rounds English rib. We knit with fewer sts than the pattern says and fast forward in some of the easier sections. The jumper is knitted in DROPS Nepal, but in the video we knit with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.

Bonjour Mme Vandenbergh, le raglan de ce modèle se tricote en suivant cette vidéo, c'est-à-dire que vous diminuez comme à partir du time code 2:30 en début de rang (= après 1 m lis et 3 m côtes anglaises) et en fin de rang quand il reste 7 m (= 3 m ens à l'end, 3 m côtes anglaises et 1 m lis). Bon tricot!
