How to work a right front piece to a top

Video thumbnail for How to work a right front piece to a top
In this DROPS video we show how to work the right front piece to the “Seaside Spirals” top in DROPS 211-13, but the same technique / similar cable is used in other patterns.

Even though the body is worked around, we only show the front piece in this video. We have already worked chart A.3 (V-neck) and put the front pieces stitches and stitches under the sleeves on different threads. We start the video where we cast on 5 stitches and show how to work after chart A.4, and at the same time we work the "edge" together with the top. We also show how to work some of chart A.5, how to decrease after chart A.5 and before chart A.4. We do not have the same number of stitches as in the pattern.

This top is worked in DROPS Paris, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.

You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern and the video: “How to work the strap with cable to the top in DROPS 211-13” by clicking on the picture below.

Er der noget i vejen for, at jeg starter med venstre fodstykke i stedet for højre? Min omgangsstart sidder i venstre side.

Hei Lene. Hvilken oppskrift / DROPS nr. strikker du etter? Skulle gjerne ha les over riktig oppskrift for å gi deg et 100% riktig svar. I noen oppskrifter kan det stå at man starter fra retten på det ene forstykket, mens fra vrangen fra det andre forstykket og lign. mvh DROPS Design

Jeg skjønner ikke hvordan jeg skal strikke venstre forstykket. Hvordan det speilvendes fra høyre side. Skal de fem maskene som er lagt opp til stropp festes på fra vrangen el retten?

DROPS Design :

Hei Monica. Du legger opp 5 masker, deretter skal det fra RETTEN strikkes A.5 over de 4 første maskene, strikk siste maske (av de 5 du la opp) vrang sammen med 1. og 2.maske etter merketråden i siden på "plagget". mvh DROPS design

Hola Lucero, en el vídeo no explican cómo tejer A3. A3 sólo se puede trabajar a partir del diagrama del patrón escrito. Esta lección te puede ayudar a trabajarlo: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=68&cid=23
