How to work saddle shoulders with pouffe sleeves - back and forth

In this DROPS video we show how we work the beginning to the saddle shoulders with pouffe sleeves, working back and forth, like it is worked in the “White Water Jacket” in DROPS 222-26. The same technique is used in the "White Water" jumper in DROPS 222-25 - even if beginning of the piece is first worked in the round.

We use the stitch numbers in the smallest size and we have already worked the neck edge (3 cm). We start the video by showing which stitches are set on a thread (front pieces and back piece). The saddle shoulders are worked separately. Read in the pattern under SADDLE SHOULDERS how it is worked.

This jacket is worked in 2 threads DROPS Kid Silk but in the video, we use 1 thread DROPS Air.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find the pattern by clicking on the picture below.

Dag Reintje,

Nee, de hals wordt gelijk in boordsteek (A.1 en A.2) gebreid. Zo is dit ook in het patroon aangegeven.

Mooi patroon, maar kan ik het filmpje ook bekijken met Nederlandse tekst. Tevens heb ik geen geluid terwijl deze wel aan staat. Ik hoor het graag. Tineke
