How to work English rib in the round with 2 color

In this DROPS video we show how we work English rib in the round with 2 color. We have already cast on, worked round 1 with green like this: * 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, knit 2 together *, work from *-* to end of round. The 2 rounds we shown in the video are round 2 and 3. ROUND 2 with colour Mauve: * Purl the yarn over and the slipped stitch together, 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl *, work from *-*. ROUND 3 with color green: * 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, knit yarn over and slipped stitch together *, work from *-* (be careful; the last yarn over does not look like a yarn over, but the strand of color 2 is at the front of the piece; lay the strand over to make a yarn over). Repeat rounds 2 and 3. We use the yarn DROPS Snow. You also need to read the pattern as well as watch the video. You will patterns with this technique by clicking on one of the picture below.

Dieses Vollpatent in Runden ist meine Lieblingstechnik. Gerade stricke ich wieder einen Pullover, stelle aber leider fest, dass die Arbeit sich dreht als ob ich diagonal stricke. Das ist mir vorher nie passiert. Hat jemand eine Vermutung woran das liegen kann? Ich stricke mit Fabel und Alpaca. Danke für einen Tip!

Hola, en mi país se teje con el método inglés, pueden añadir los vídeos explicativos también con ese método para que podamos entender lo que muestran? Gracias.

DROPS Design :

Hola Miriam, el principal método usado por DROPS Design es el método continental, es por esto que la mayoría de vídeos utilizan esta técnica. Hay algunos vídeos hechos para el método inglés.

In het betreffende patroon met Engelse patentsteek staat aangegeven hoeveel steken je precies moet opzetten voor jouw maat. Engelse patentsteek herhaalt zich over een meervoud van 2 steken.

Hallo, Waar kun je deze hele korte rondbreinaalden kopen? Ik heb op diverse sites gekeken, maar kan ze niet vinden. Groet van Corry

DROPS Design :

Dag Corry,

Niet iedere winkel voert deze korte rondbreinaald. Je kunt het beste even vragen bij een van de winkels door een mail te sturen of langs te gaan. Wellicht willen ze hem voor je bestellen. Mocht je een te lange rondbreinaald hebben, dan kun je ook de magic loop techniek gebruiken.

I mönster Drops 204-4 lägger jag upp 153 maskor, enl beskrivningen ska det efter första varvet i tvåfärgad helpatent vara 102 maskor på stickan. Hur är det möjligt?

07.08.2019 - 10:51

DROPS Design :

Hei Ingrid. Når du strikker 1. omgang med 2-farget helpatent, strikkes det 1 kast, 1 maske som løftes over og 2 rett sammen. Kastene skal ikke telles og det blir derfor færre masker enn det som ble lagt opp. God Fornøyelse!

How to work 2-colored English rib with second color in the edge and color change

In this DROPS video we show how to work 2-color English rib in stripes where it works with the second color on the edge stitches/band stitches and how to twist the strands together when changing colors. The edge stitches/band stitches works in garter stitches. ROW 1 (from RS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, switch to the main color, but twist the strands together to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side. Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the right side. ROW 2 (from RS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. ROW 3 (from WS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, change to the main color, remember to twist the strands to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side, lift the edge stitches over to the right needle. Push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the wrong side. ROW 4 (from WS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. Repeat row 1- 4. We use the yarn DROPS Air in the video. You must also read a pattern using this technique as well as watch the video. You can find a pattern using this technique by clicking one the picture below.
