How to decrease 4 stitches in English rib with 2 colours

Keywords: beret, english rib, hat,

In this DROPS video we show how to decrease 4 stitches in English rib with 2 colours, used in the beret in DROPS 204-18.

In the video we decrease 4 stitches as follows: Work 5 stitches and 3 yarn overs (= 8 stitches in total) together as follows: Slip the first 5 stitches of these 8 stitches (i.e. 3 stitches and 2 yarn overs) loosely on to right needle knitwise, knit the next 3 stitches (i.e. 2 stitches and 1 yarn over) together, pass the 5 loose stitches (including yarn overs) from right needle over stitches worked together (= 4 stitches decreased).

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in this video.

You must read the pattern and look at the charts, if it is to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern with this technique by clicking on one of the picture below.

Hallo! Ich stricke den Pullover „Lagoon“ im Vollpatent, bei dessen Ärmelabnahmen diese Technik verwendet wird. Ich mache das genauso wie im Video, bei mir entstehen nur leider sehr unschöne Löcher beiderseits der mittleren Masche. Gibt es einen Trick, um das zu vermeiden? Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Liebe Nadja, versuchen Sie die Abnahmen etwas fester zu stricken, es kann helfen (aber nicht die ganze Arbeit fester stricken sonnst wird sie zu klein). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
