Thank you for the clear video! It showed me the reason, why the seam doesn't get "even" when one uses another style to stitch the seam together.

Was ist damit gemeint die Arbeit beim Fertigstellen an den Schultermarkierer doppelt zu legen?

03.11.2019 - 16:01

DROPS Design :

Liebe Frau Rieder, wenn Sie eine Jacke oder einen Pullover in einem Stück stricken, setzen Sie eine Markierung in der Reihe ein, die oben am Schulter wird, so wissen Sie, wo Sie dann später die Arbeit falten sollen. Gerne können Sie Ihre Frage auf die Anleitung stellen, die Sie arbeiten, es kann einfacher, Ihnen zu beantworten. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Bonjour Mme Côté, vous pouvez procéder comme dans cette vidéo, si vous avez rabattu vos mailles sur l'endroit, vous aurez le petit "v" de chaque côté comme dans un jersey. Bon tricot!

Leider ist das Video sehr ungünstig aufgenommen. Ich sehe überhaupt nicht, wo ich da einstechen soll. Somit hilft das gar nicht weiter. Persönlich fände ich es sowieso besser, solche Dinge auch in einer Grafik zu veranschaulichen.
