How to crochet a strawberry

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a strawberry. Work treble crochet to the stitch where the strawberry starts. Change color (red) and crochet 7 treble crochets in the next stitch, pull out the hook and insert it into 1st treble crochet and the loop from last treble crochet, change color (green) and pull the thread through the loop and 1st treble crochet. Insert the hook between the 1st and 2nd treble crochet and pick up the thread, repeat this between all treble crochets 6 times in total = 7 stitches on hook, yarn over and pull the thread through all 7 stitches. Change color (light gray) and work 1 chain stitch. 1 Work 1 treble crochet in each of the next stitches until the next strawberry should be worked. In this video we work 3 treble crochets between each strawberry and we work around the threads /colors that are not used. By color change, witch to the next color at the last pull through.

We use DROPS Snow in this video and on the little swap we use DROPS Muskat.

DROPS Design :

Dear Tania, the row from WS is here worked with double crochets (UK-English)/single crochets (US-English), you can work over the yarns both colours or cut them at the end of the row to join them again at the beg of the row. Happy crocheting!

How many stitches do you chain, to begin?

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Turner, this depends on how you would like the strawberries to be next to each other, in this video there are 3 stitches between each strawberry (= 4 sts). Add some more stitches on each side if necessary. A good idea would be to make a sample and decide how many stitches you need; Happy crocheting!

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.

How to knit a hooded scarf, following DROPS pattern 253-61

In this DROPS video, we have already worked the hood (size L/XL) and placed the stitches on 2 stitch holders. We now show how to knit up stitches around the hood and work an I-cord cast-off until there are 2 stitches left on the row. These 2 stitches are placed on one of the stitch holders, while 2 stitches are picked up on the other side and placed on the second stitch holder. Read I-CORD CAST-OFF in the pattern text. Cut the strand. Place the stitches from one stitch holder back on the needles. Now we show you how to cast on stitches for the right-hand side of the scarf, work 1 row before knitting together the hood and scarf, starting mid-back. At the same time, you work I-cord edge stitches and moss stitch rib. Read the explanations in the pattern text, for I-CORD CAST-OFF, 2 I-CORD EDGE STITCHES, moss stitch rib and how the hood and scarf are joined. When all stitches are picked up from the hood (50 rows worked), the 2 stitches from the stitch holder are still separate and on the stitch holder (in the video they are placed on the needle). Knit these 2 stitches (in size S/M there are 3 stitches on the stitch holder, you then knit 1 and knit the other 2 stitches together). Then work back from the wrong side with 2 I-cord edge stitches, purl 2 together, work moss stitch rib until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and work 2 I-cord edge stitches. Read the explanation in the pattern text on how and where to cast off the scarf’s right-hand side. We show row 1 (from the right side) of the 8 first rows, then how to cast off on row 1 (from the right side). Now work the left-hand side of the scarf, then sew the cast-on edges on the right and left-hand sides of the scarf together mid-back, using grafting stitch. We use the yarns DROPS Daisy and DROPS Kid-Silk in the video, with the same colours and needle size as in the pattern.
