How to knit up stitches under sleeve

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up 1 stitch in each of the new stitches that was cast on under the sleeve. We knit 8 new stitches and put a marker (or a marker thread) in the middle of these stitches. In many patterns, you should decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitch of this marker (or marking thread).

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in this video.

Liebe Elke, könnten Sie uns vielleicht sagen, welches Modell Sie stricken? Oder vielleicht Ihre Frage an diesem Modell direkt stellen? So können wir am besten helfen. Danke im voraus für Ihr Verständnis.

Hallo, wenn ich einen Maschenmarkierer in die Mitte der aufgenommen Maschen mache, dann werdek doch die Maschen links vom Markierer einmal weniger abgestrickt ist das kein Problem?

DROPS Design :

Liebe Frau Müller, wenn der Markierer genau in der Mitte von den neuen Maschen eingesetzt wird, dann sollen Sie genauso viele von den neuen aufgefassenen Maschen beidseitig von der mittleren Maschen mit dem Markierer haben. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Witaj Małgosiu, nabieram jeszcze po 1 oczku w przejściu (czyli 1 przed i 1 za nabranymi oczkami pod spodem rękawa). W następnym okrążeniu przerabiam nowe oczko razem na prawo z 1-szym nabranym oczkiem pod rękawem oraz ostatnie nabrane oczko pod rękawem razem na prawo z tym dodatkowym oczkiem (z drugiej strony). Wtedy dziurka znika. Pozdrawiam!

I en annan video visas att man lägger upp nya maskor på stickan när man satt ärmmaskorna på tråd, och då blir det ett hål under ärmen som sedan ska sys ihop. Vad är det som gör att man väljer denna metod el den andra? Tack för jättebra videor 🙂

Hei Hansson. Kun smak og behag, vi viser ulike teknikker. Noen vil legge opp masker og sy sammen, mens andre ikke ønsker å sy. Tidligere var det mer vanlig å sy sammen hullet, men i mange nye oppskrifter strikkes det opp masker for å unngå sammensyingen. mvh DROPS Design

Hoe voorkom je dat er toch een “gat” ontstaat tussen de mouw en de opgenomen steken? Met name als je met dunnere draden en dikke naalden werkt (4 draden kid slik en naald 8)

Dag Joyce,

Daar heb ik inderdaad ook wel eens last van. Wat ik dan doe is dat ik de steken in de hoek samen brei met de naastliggende steek. Je kunt het ook aan het eind dicht mazen.

Ik brei Drops 42,5....en ik heb het lijfje af en nu ga ik de mouw verder breien...zit dus vast aan het lijfje. Ik brei recht op een rondbreinaald nr 4 en ging breien en toen kwam ik erachter dat ik de achterkant aan de buitenkant had.... misschien de andere kant op breien? Ik zal het zelf ook nog wel uitproberen....ik ben een beginner...dus moet alles nog ontdekken....😉dank voor uw tijd.

Dag Hannie,

Deze babytrui trui wordt in de rondte gebreid op de rondbreinaald, waarbij je de goede kant steeds aan de buitenkant hebt. Misschien was je door het heen en weer breien in de war?

Ik ben de mouw gaan breien en toen bleek dat ik binnenstebuiten aan het breien was...dus averechts aan de buitenkant....hoe kan ik dat oplossen? Ik ben een beginner en brei op rondbreinaald nr.4...

Dag Hannie,

Zou je de mouw om kunnen keren? Dus binnenste buiten? Ik weet niet welk patroon je aan het breien bent, dus hoe dat er dan uitziet.

How to knit up stitches for the neck to a jumper with European shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches around the neck to a jumper with a European shoulder, using a knitting needle or a crochet hook. Then follow the description in the pattern. There are many different ways to work a rib (e.g knit 1 / purl 1, knit 2 / purl 2, knit 1 twisted / 1 purl etc.). And you can work a single neck, double neck or a high neck. In this video we work a double neck with a rib worked like this: knit 2, purl 2, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl and then fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima colour no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk colour no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 mm. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches to one sleeve, working short rows, decrease under the sleeve, increase stitches before the rib, switch to smaller needle and a little bit of the cast off (knit over knit, and purl over purl). Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stocking stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima colour no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk colour no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 mm. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

Then we show how to pick up 6 new stitches behind the thumb. These wrist warmers are worked in DROPS Baby Merino, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.
