Työni reunat eivät muodostu suoriksi, vaan vasen reuna "laajenee" vasemalle ja oikea taas tulee sisään vasemmalle, eli työ lähtee menemään vinoon, vaikka silmukkamäärä pysyy samana. Mistä tämä johtuu/miten saan reunat muodostumaan suoriksi?

Ved I hvorfor mit bliver helt skævt? Jeg har samme maskeantal, men det ligner, at jeg taber masker for hver omgang. Det er ellers et rigtig flot mønster!

DROPS Design :

Hei Trine. Om du starter i feil maske vil arbeidet bli skeiv. Du starter hver rad med 1 luftmaske og deretter 1 fastmaske eller 1 kjedemaske i siste maske fra forrige rad. mvh DROPS design

Tusind tak for gode videoer! :-) Jeg vil gerne hækle en trøje med ribkant. Skal jeg så starte med at hækle ribkanten? Kan jeg efterfølgende hækle videre med en anden hækleteknik ved at hente masker i siden af min ribkant, som jo er hæklet på modsat led end hvis jeg havde strikket den?

DROPS Design :

Hei Anna. Det kan du fint gjøre. Men det er en god ide å lage en prøvelapp på hvordan overgangen vil bli. God Fornøyelse!

There are cingle crochet and slip stiches in the video. But the note says double crochets.

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Törös, make sure you are looking at the video with the US-Crochet terminology (edit language at the bottom corner under the video) - UK-Crochet terminology and US-crochet terminology are different - read more here. Happy crocheting
