Jag förstår inte, i mönstret står det att alla maskor förutom kantmaskorna stickas avigt men på filmen stickas varv 2 med båset aviga och räta maskor. Undrar om det är felskrivning?

Hei Jenny Man kan strikke patent forskjellig, hvilken oppskrift følger du? Du skal uansett følge den oppskriften du strikker. Videoen er en generell hjelpevideo som viser hvordan strikke falsk patent og vrangmasker frem og tilbake. I din oppskrift, strikkes det frem og tilbake eller rundt? mvh DROPS Design

Bonjour, est ce que la maille anglaise utilise plus de laine que le jersey ? car je voudrais remplacer le jersey par la cote anglaise mais est ce que je dois prendre le même nombre de pelotes ? Merci

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Sylviane, effectivement, les côtes anglaises sont plus gourmandes en laine que du simple jersey et leur tension en largeur et en hauteur est différente. Il vous faudra calculer la nouvelle quantité nécessaire en fonction de votre échantillon/le modèle souhaité etc.. vous pouvez vous baser sur un modèle en côtes anglaises analogue - votre magasin saura vous aider également si besoin, même par mail ou téléphone. Bon tricot!

Kva er forskjellen på falsk patent og falsk patent? Vert resultatet ganske likt med begge teknikker?

Bonjour,\r\n\r\nJ\'ai bien compris le point de la fausse côte anglaise, mais je n\'ai pas trouvé de vidéo pour faire des diminutions; par ex, doit-on faire celles-ci quand on commence sur l\'endroit avec le jeté et le glissé ou à l\'envers quand on tricote 2 M ensemble. ça me paraît compliqué avec ce point plus qu\'avec les côtes ordinaires Merci de votre réponse

18.02.2022 - 15:50

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Jasmine, tout dépend de votre modèle et du type de diminutions que vous souhaitez, vous pouvez simplement tricoter 2 mailles ensemble à l'endroit de chaque côté par exemple, ou bien vous pouvez jouer avec 2 m ens à l'end/ 1 surjet simple pour prolonger la maille endroit. Bon tricot!

Det ville være en stor hjælp, hvis der stod i den skriftlige vejledning, at den er lavet til et ulige antal masker.

Det går för fort i videon så att det ej går att se / följa för nybörjare. Vore bra om man kunde visa långsamt i början.
