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.

Steeds de draad af knippen aan het eind (bij 2 kleuren) vind ik lastig. Kan dat ook zonder afknippen?

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. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You will find patterns where this technique can be used by clicking on the picture below.
