Wanneer ik aan elke rij afkant voor de armsgaten, dit nauwgezet volgens het patroon DROPS / 211 / 6 , bekom ik asymmetrische armsgaten. Het gaat over een patroon met alternerend een rij vasten en een rij halve stokjes (-3, -3, -2, -1, -1 aan beide kanten te minderen, voor maat M). Begin ik mijn eerste half stokje , na de halve vasten voor de minderingen, door twee lossen te haken die als eerste half stokje tellen, of onmiddellijk een echt half stokje in de eerste steek ?

Dag Veerle,
Aan het begin van de toer vervang je het aantal te mineren steken met een halve vaste. De eerst volgende steek die je moet haken wordt dan de eerste steek en als dit een half stokje is vervang je deze dus door 2 lossen.

Hi, Is this technique used for making the arm holes?
11.09.2013 - 11:52DROPS Design :
Dear Sk, this technique can be used for example for the armholes when there are several sts to decrease (to leave unworked) on a same row. Happy crocheting!

Crochet: Dec with slip stitches
In this video we crochet in the round and show how to dec a sl st by working into two sl sts. Put hook through first sl st (front loop), put hook through next sl st (front loop), get yarn and pull yarn through both sts = 1 less sl st. If you are ending a piece, e.g. a mitten, then continue to dec until there are a few sl st left. Cut yarn and pull it through remaining sts. Pull tog and fasten.
