In this DROPS video we show how to cast off with i-cord casting off that is for example, used in the shawl in DROPS 190-15. Work and cast off as follows: * Knit 2 stitches, the next 2 stitches are knitted twisted together. Push the 3 stitches from the right needle back onto the left needle (in the same order) *, repeat from *-* until all stitches on the left needle have been cast off and there are 3 stitches left on the right needle. Push the stitches onto the left needle and cast them off with knit.

This shawl is crocheted in DROPS Flora, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

Hei dere \r\nBlir icordfellingen stram eller elastisk?

11.05.2020 - 22:39

DROPS Design :

Hei Turid. Det kommer an på om du feller av løst eller stramt, men om du feller av løst vil avfellingskanten få fast og fin tyngde og ha litt elastisk, men ikke så elastisk som ved avfelling i vrangbord. Strikke en liten prøve og fell av og sjekk om dette er noe for deg, litt mer arbeid enn vanlig avfelling, men det blir veldig fint. God Fornøyelse!

Hei, jeg lurer på om det er mulig å strikke en i-cord-avfelling med 2 masker i stedet for 3? Hvordan gjør jeg det i så fall?

20.10.2019 - 20:28

DROPS Design :

Hei Kari. Da strikker du * 1 maske rett, de 2 neste maskene strikkes vridd rett sammen, skyv de 2 maskene du nå har på høyre pinne tilbake til venstre pinne *, gjenta deretter *-* til alle masker på venstre pinne er felt av og det gjenstår 2 masker på høyre pinne. Skyv maskene over til venstre pinne og fell av disse 2 maskene rett. God Fornøyelse!

How to cast off with an i-cord edge in garter stitch

In this DROPS video we show how we cast off with an i-cord edge in a piece worked in garter stitches / ridge stitches. Cast on 2 stitches, knit up 1 stitch in the outermost loop of the bottom ridge = 3 stitches on the needle. *Push the stitches back to the beginning of the needle and work again from the right side without turning. Knit 2, slip the next stitch as if to knit, knit up a new stitch in the next ridge on the hood, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted-up stitch *, work from *-* until an edge has been worked. Knit up 1 stitch in each ridge, if this makes the edge tight, knit up 1 more stitch evenly (we have knitted 2 extra stitches in this piece). Knit together the last 3 stitches on the row. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern using this technique by clicking on the picture below.
