Entrelac on straight needles

Entrelac is when you knit squares in multiple directions.
First you make a row of triangles, then you pick up sts along the sides, work half squares at each side and full squares in the middle.
If each square should be i.e 5 sts wide, then you cast on 5 sts for each triangle to start with.
So for 3 triangles you cast on 15 sts.

Bonjour Mme Robbe, vous pouvez tricoter des entrelacs en rond, mais chaque petit "triangle" sera tricoté en allers et retours - cf par ex les modèles des chaussettes présentés sous la vidéo. Bon tricot!

In this video the 6 first / 6 last stitches after the I-cord edge are worked in garter stitches (= the stitches are knitted on every row). At the beginning of the row from the right side, work like this: Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1, work 6 garter stitches. Work stockinette stitch. At the end of the row from the right side, work like this: Work 6 garter stitches, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1.

How to work an I-cord edge with 2 stitches

In this DROPS video we show how to work 2 I-cord edge stitches in each side, and at the same time increase in one of the sides. The same 2 edge stitches can be used in garments without increases. For example edges to a jacket. EDGE STITCHES: At the beginning of each row work 2 edge stitches as follows: Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with the strand in front, knit 1. At the end of each row work 2 edge stitches as follows: Work until there are 2 stitches left on the row, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with the strand in front, knit 1. Repeat at the beginning and end of each row. We use the yarn DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the pictures below.

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.
