Crochet sc (US)/ dc (UK) in the round

Video thumbnail for Crochet sc (US)/ dc (UK) in the round
When you are crocheting sc's in the round you begin each round with 1 ch that replaces the first sc 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.

Hallo, warum muss man die Runde mit einer Kettmasche schließen und eine Wendeluftmasche arbeiten, wenn die Arbeit doch gar nicht gewendet wird - kann man nicht einfach immerfort Feste Maschen machen, einfach weiter und weiter? Danke.

Liebe Monika, ja genauso kann man auch häkeln, dann sollen Sie die 1. Masche der Runde markieren. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Tack för bra guide. Men Varför virkar man inte bara fm runt runt hela tiden...?

DROPS Design :

Hei Anna. Det kan man også gjøre, men det kommer helt an på oppskriften man hekler etter og hva som er beskrevet der. mvh DROPS Design

Ho provato a fare un cappello per un bambino lavorando in tondo a maglia bassa. La chiusura di ogni giro però non è mai esattamente sul punto di chiusura del giro precedente. L'effetto che si ha è di una cucitura verticale inclinata. C'è il modo di evitare questo effetto?

Buonasera Maria, ha chiuso i giri con le maglie bassissime? Buon lavoro!

Det blir jo skjevt, da ... hvorfor? Og er det ingenting man kan gjøre for å få "skjøten" - og hele arbeidet - rett?

Jeg er forvirret. Videoen og teksten samsvarer ikke. Det står at man skal « . Avslutt hver omgang med en kj i lm på begynnelsen av omgangen.» men i videoen demonstreres det at man hopper over lm, og hekler en kjm i første fm av omg. Hva er riktig? I oppskriften jeg følger (spm henviser til denne videoen) står det:

Hei Urda. Nei, i videoen avslutter vi med 1 kjedemaske i 1. luftmasken på omgangen (vi hopper over fastmasken som luftmasken er heklet i). mvh DROPS design

Bonjour, l'explication du remplacement de la 1ère maille serrée par une maille en l'air n'est pas très claire Pourriez-vous détailler ce procédé par un schéma ? Merci d'avance

28.01.2021 - 18:52

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Gerard, au time code 00:35, nous faisons la maille en l'air du début du tour qui va remplacer la 1ère maille serrée, à 00:45 nous crochetons 1 maille serrée dans la maille serrée suivante puis tout le tour; à la fin du tour: à 1:54, nous montrons la maille en l'air dans laquelle nous allons crocheter la maille coulée qui va fermer le tour. Lorsque vous comptez vos mailles, la maille en l'air comptera pour la 1ère maille serrée. Au début, il peut être sage de bien compter ses mailles si on n'est pas sûre. Bon crochet!

Bonjour, Est-ce que vu que l’on fait une ml en début de tour, crochete-t-on la première ms du tour précédent ou est-ce qu’on la passe ? Dans mon tuto ils indiquent : *1 ms dans lies deux premières mailles, 2 ms dans la suivante*. Ainsi si je fais 1 ml et que je crochète 1ms dans la première maille et 2ms dans la suivante, à la fin de mon tour lorsque je fais la maille coulée j’ai une maille en trop.

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-double crochet), 1 half-double crochet in each of the remaining chain stitches, 2 half-double 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 double crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the beginning of first round, then work 1 double crochet in each half-double crochet. This round is not finished in the usual way, the first double crochet in next round is worked in the first double crochet from previous round. Then continue round and round with 1 double crochet in each double 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 double 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 double crochets begins with 3 chain stitches which do not replace the first double 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 knit a sock with a square heel

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit a sock with a square heel. The stitches on top of the foot are placed on a thread, while the stitches at the back are kept on the needles and the heel is worked as follows (the heel extends under the foot): 1) The heel is worked back and forth across the heel-stitches to achieve the correct height. For this type of heel, the length reaches midway under the heel. 2) Next, the heel is knitted together beneath the foot. 3) The sock is then continued in the round, with stitches picked up along both sides of the heel length, working towards the toe. 4) This heel creates a square shape, which is why this type of heel is known as a square heel.
