How to knit with 3 skeins at the same time

Video thumbnail for How to knit with 3 skeins at the same time
In this DROPS video we show you how to knit with 3 skeins at the same time to avoid long yarn jumps on wrong side. We first knit with one green skein, then 1 gray skein and then one skein green again. To avoid holes at colour change twine the yarns together.

We use DROPS Snow in this video. You will find a pattern where this technique is used by clicking on the picture below.

Bonjour, je repose la question de A Kirch et de Verena: est-il possible d’utiliser plusieurs pelotes quand on tricote en rond un motif intarsia ? ?Autrement dit Comment faire pour que les pelotes ne se trouvent pas au même endroit ? Je n’ai pas trouvé de vidéo l’expliquant. D’avance merci pour votre réponse Sylvie

Bonjour Sylvie, en général, les motifs intarsia ne se tricotent pas en rond, mais en allers et retours avec plusieurs pelotes qui vont permettre de bien séparer les motifs, comme ici. Sinon, on tricote en rond des motifs répétés tout le tour. Bon tricot!

Ich stricke den Pullover Fox in Braun und Beige. Da ich ja in runden stricke kann ich nicht mehrere Knäuel verwenden. Wie funktioniert das?

Liebe Frau Kirch, bei diesem Modell wird die Arbeit (Passe + Rumpfteil) nur in HIn- und Rückreihen gestrickt, so wird das Diagram auch nur beim Vorderteil gestrickt, nach der Verteilung. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

In de video wordt, bij het breien van het blauwe motief, in de averechte naald een voor mij vreemde steek gebreid. In ieder geval niet de voor mij bekende continentaal averechte steek. Welke steek zie ik op de video ? gr

Dag Marleen,

Dit is gewoon normaal averechts, alleen wordt in de video de draad anders vastgehouden (in de linker hand en achter het werk) waardoor het er heel anders uitziet.

Witaj Magdo, w zakładce 'porady i pomoc' znajdziesz 'instrukcje video', wpisz w wyszukiwarkę słowo kluczowe np. żakard i znajdziesz tam różne dwukolorowe techniki dziewiarskie. Żakard przerabiany na okrągło jest prostsze niż w rzędach, ponieważ wzór jest cały czas widoczny. W razie kolejnych pytań pisz. Pozdrawiamy!

A czy jest jakaś metoda na przerabianie dwoma kolorami na okrągło? Chciałabym zrobić sweter na okrągło. Przód i tył w jednym kolorze a rękawy w innym.

Witaj Magdo, jaką techniką ma być wykonany sweter (z góry na dół, czy od dołu do góry), jakie pokroje rękawów i karczek? Potrzebuję więcej informacji, aby odpowiedzieć na to pytanie

Das Diagramm A2 werden da nur die Hinreihen gezeigt oder ist das Vor und Rückreihe?

Liebes DROPS Team, vielen Dank für das Video. Trotzdem habe ich noch eine Frage. Angenommen ich würde einen Pullover stricken, der nur auf der Rückseite einen schmalen, vertikalen Farbstreifen bekommen soll. Wie würde ich dann vorgehen, wenn ich das Ganze in Runden stricken möchte? Muss ich dann zwingend den andersfarbigen Faden mitführen und verkreuzen (was ja ein hoher Garnverbrauch wäre) oder gibt es eine andere Lösung? Viele Grüße!

DROPS Design :

Liebe Verena, wenn die Farbestriefen sehr schmall ist, kann sie vielleicht im Maschenstich aufgestrickt werden - siehe Video. Nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt mit Ihrem DROPS Laden auf, gerne werden Sie Ihnen weiter helfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
