Vous avez bien répondu à ma question sur les diminutions. Quand je fini ma première diminution c'est une maille glissée qui est là et la diminution commence par une maille et jeté. Qu'est-ce que je fais avec la maille glissée? Merci de votre collaboration.

Bonjour Mme Lavoie, c'est un peu délicat de répondre ici car je n'ai pas le modèle que vous tricotez sous les yeux, pouvez-vous nous indiquez quel modèle vous faites et à quel niveau vous en êtes/ quelle diminution vous tricotez?
