How to knit row 1 – 8 to the shawl in DROPS 204-3

In this DROPS video we show how to work the 8 first rows in the Burning Leaves shawl in DROPS 204-3 that is knitted with English rib. We have already cast on and purl 1 row, and start the video from the 1st row from the wrong side (WS). We also show how to cast off, where we cast off the yarn overs as normal stitches. We do this to avoid the cast off edge being tight.

You will find the written description under the pattern/click on the picture below.

This shawl is knitted in DROPS Kid Silk, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

It would be helpful to have \\\"sound \\\" instructions as the video is playing as the pattern is complicated.

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.
