Hola Ana, después de trabajar el delantero y la espalda, se unen según el patrón. Solo se usa un hilo, el de la espalda, mientras que el hilo del delantero se remata.

Ik begrijp niet wat er bedoeld wordt met "treble UK" deze steek(stokje) is zowel in US als in UK, een double crochet (DC) Een treble is met de draad 2x omslaan, door 2,door 2 en afmaken. Een treble heeft met de video helemaal niks te doen. Ik denk dat de eerste reactie dit ook bedoeld.

This video says for a UK treble in the round. This is not showing the usual UK treble. Is the a ‘treble in the round’ a different stitch to a treble?

DROPS Design :

Dear Sian, I might misunderstand your question, but this video is showing how to work treble crochets (UK) in the round, ie how to start the round (= 3 chains) and how to join the rounds (1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain at the beg of the round). Hope this can help. Happy crocheting!

Und wer den hässlichen, sichtbaren Rundenübergang verhindern will, der wende sich an die bekannten Videoportale. Dort findet man ebenso einfache, klare Videos für unsichtbare Rundenübergänge.

Hello I'm following this pattern and when it says treble into chain space you do mean space and not the actual chain itself. As I asked someone else and they thought by looking at the picture it looked like your crocheting into the chain. I have worked with Patterns like this and chain space means chain space i think it's right but thought I would enquire. Kind regards Claire

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs White, as explained it looks like you are right, when you work in the chain space, you work around the chain(s) that make(s) the chain-space, and not in the chain itself. Do not hesitate to ask your question on the pattern you are working on so that we can check better. Happy crocheting!

Ik haak precies zoals u het in dit filmpje laat zien maar bij mij zie je duidelijk de overgang naar de volgende toer omdat het niet recht omhoog gaat maar het scheef trekt. Wat doe ik verkeerd, ik heb al geprobeerd de eerste 3 lossen die het 1e stokje vervangt losser of strakker te haken maar het resultaat blijft dat het duidelijk naar een kant trekt.

DROPS Design :

Dag Ria,

Als je op deze manier in de rondte breit, dan verschuift het inderdaad geleidelijk aan. De stokjes zitten op deze manier nooit recht boven elkaar. Als je dat niet wilt kun je telkens na het sluiten van de toer het werk keren en terug haken.

How to crochet round and round without finishing each round

In this DROPS video we show how you can crochet round and round without finishing each round. We have already crocheted a chain stitches row and start the video how to form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch. Then work 2 chain stitches (replacing the first half-treble crochet), 1 half-treble crochet in each of the remaining chain stitches, 2 half-treble crochets around the 2 chain stitches at the beginning of the round. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round to show where it begins and work round and round without finishing each round. On round 2 work the first treble crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the beginning of first round, then work 1 treble crochet in each half-treble crochet. This round is not finished in the usual way, the first treble crochet in next round is worked in the first treble crochet from previous round. Then continue round and round with 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find pattern by clicking on the pictures below.

How to work treble crochet and get a straight line running down the beginning/ending of the rounds

In this DROPS video we show how to get a straight line running down the beginning/the end of the rounds. Work in the round alternately from the right and wrong side, turning the piece after each round. It you work round and round from the right side; the line at the beginning of the round is then slightly diagonal (see the sample patch on the right at the beginning of the video). We also work the piece in stripes and to get a neat transition when changing colours, we work the slip stitch at the end of the round in the new colour. Each round of treble crochets begins with 3 chain stitches which do not replace the first treble crochet. The rounds finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to crochet a single crochet (sc) US / double crochet (dc) UK in the round

In this DROPS video we show how crochet a single crochet (sc in US term) also known as a double crochet (dc in UK term) in the round. When you are crocheting sc's/dc's in the round you begin each round with 1 ch that replaces the first sc/dc on this next round. To mark the beginning it is a good idea to use a scrap yarn to mark the 1st stitch on the round. Finish each round with 1 sl st in the chain from beg of round. Make sure to not work the sc that the ch was made in! Keep moving the marking thread for each round. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.

How to increase 1 stitch towards the right (wrong side)

In this DROPS video we show you how to increase 1 stitch from the wrong side, which twists to the right, i.e., the back loop of the stitch is on top when the stitch is worked. Before starting the video: We have already worked 12 cm with increases and begin the video by purling until there are 4 stitches left on the row. In the video: The increase is worked by using the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the row below, the strand is picked up from the front and the stitch is purled through the back loop (= the loop of the stitch on the back side of the needle).
