Bonjour, Je voudrais savoir comment faire des nopes en rond ? Je suis en train de faire un Amigurimi mouton et je dois faire des nopes en rond et je ne sais pas comment procéder. Ce serait vraiment sympa de votre part de montrer une vidéo. Merci à toute l'équipe !!!! Vous êtes géniaux ....

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Patricia, à priori, des nopes en rond se feront de la même façon qu'en rangs. Suivez bien les indications de votre modèle et crochetez les nopes comme indiqué, si vous les faites en rond, elles seront toujours sur l'endroit. Bon crochet!
