How to bind off from the right side (RS)

In this DROPS video we show how you can bind off your work from the right side.

You bind off to lock stitches that no longer will be worked to stop them from running. You also bind off stitches to shape arm holes, neck and shoulders. The bind off should neither be too firm or too hard, e.g. you need to be able to get the sweater over your head.
To prevent binding off to firm you can use a larger needle then what you have used during your knitting.
Binding off with knit stitches, you knit the stitches and then keep passing the next to last knitted stitch over the last knitted stitch. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Pletu již 30 let, ale nikdy nevím, jak správně udělat patentový okraj výstřihu, kolik oček nahodit a za kterou nit přízi zachytit. Vždycky se mi u výstřihu utvoří nežádoucí dírka nebo dlouhé očko přes dvě řady. Stejně tak mám problém s nahozením légy zapínání.Nevím, kam vpichovat jehlici. Poraďte prosím, udělejte videoukázku.

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit from the center of the piece and out. Here we use DROPS 146-2 as an example, but several of our most popular patterns starts in the center of the piece with a few stitches and double pointed needles. It's a bit tricky to get started but gets easier and easier as you increase. Make sure to use markers to show where the increases are made. Keep increasing and work your way out. As the piece grows you continue with a longer and longer circular needle to fit all stitches. You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow.

How to cast on with the continental method

There are different methods to cast on. In this DROPS video we show one of the most common methods that gives a firm but still elastic edge. It’s called the continental method. The cast on should be firm but not too hard. If you feel it becomes too tight you can use larger needles or cast on around two needles and then pull one needle out afterwards. Remember to use the correct needles when starting your knitting. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.
