How to knit from corner to corner

In this DROPS video we show you how to knit from corner to corner by increasing and decreasing (eg for a blanket or kitchen cloth). We show how to increase on both sides in the beginning (1st part), then we show decrease and increase to keep the same number of stitches in the middle piece (2nd part) and then the decrease on both sides at the end (3rd part). We use DROPS Snow in this video. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern where you can use this technique by clicking on the picture below.

Bonjour. De Quelle longueur parlons nous? Je tricoté en point étamineais j'ai beau regarder je ne comprends pas à quel moment on doit diminuer des deux côtés et sur les deux rangs en même temps. Aucune indication de distance n'est précisée. Est ce lorsqu'on a atteint la moitié du côté ?

Bonjour Dominique, tout à fait, cette vidéo montre la technique, pas comment tricoter un modèle précis, pour toutes les indications de hauteur pour les augmentations/diminutions, référez-vous à votre modèle ou bien inspirez-vous de l'un des modèles proposés en illustration sous la vidéo. Votre magasin saura vous apporter toute l'assistance complémentaire nécessaire, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

Bonjour Dominique, vous commencez à diminuer des deux côtés quand vous avez la longueur souhaitée pour la couverture (cf time code 4:45 environ). Pour diminuer, tricotez 2 m ens à l'end au début de chaque rang (= sur l'endroit et sur l'envers). Vous pouvez vous inspirer de l'un des deux modèles présentés sous la vidéo. Bon tricot!

Work A.1 like this: Place 4 stitches on cable needle behind the piece, knit 2, work 3 stitches in each of the 4 stitches on cable needle (work front, back, front loop of each stitch). 8 increased stitches. Work A.2 like this: Place 2 stitches on cable needle in front of piece, work 3 stitches in each of the next 4 stitches (work front, back, front loop of each stitch), knit 2 from cable needle. 8 increased stitches.

Loosely slip the first stitch on the left needle onto the right needle as if to purl. Hold the knitting yarn behind the work. 2. Insert the left needle behind the slipped stitch and between the slipped stitch and the first stitch on the right needle. 3. Make a yarn over on the right needle and pull the yarn over through the stitch to make 1 new stitch on the right needle. 4. Drop the outermost part of the stitch of the left needle and then knit the second strand of the stitch through the front loop. You have now increased 1 stitch We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
