Hjelp med mb-045. Har heklet et diagram og skal igjen gjenta 2 og 3. Skal vel hver gang jeg snur starte på A.1a? Når jeg da skal starte med første repetisjon kan jeg jo ikke starte med trippelstav. Skal mønsteret egentlig være i sikksakk slik at første repetisjon starter fra A.1c?

DROPS Design :

Hei Nora. Nei, A.1a hekles over A.1a, A.1b over A.1b og A.1c og A.1c. Når du har heklet A.1a, A.1B og A.1c 1 gang i høyden, skal du nå bare gjenta rad 2 og 3, slik at når du har heklet den siste masken i A.1c (dobbelt stav i maske), snu arbeidet og nå starter på 2 .rad i A.1c (6 luftmasker). Hekle A.1c over A.1c, så hekles A.1b over A.1b og på slutten av raden hekles A.1a over A.1a, snu arbeidet og hekle 3. rad i A.1a (5 luftmasker). Les gjerne under Tips & Hjelp, DROPS Leksjoner/Les en oppskrift/Hvordan lese heklediagrammer. Arbeidet hekles frem og tilbake som 2 skjerf som deretter sys sammen til en poncho, ingen sikksakk. mvh DROPS Design

Dear Mrs Hilton, we don't have that much crochet tops for 14 years (see here), but maybe our crochet tops in size XS could help? Find them here. Happy crocheting!

How to crochet squares together with chain stitches and single crochet

In this DROPS video we show how you can crochet squares together with chain stitches and single crochet. Lay 2 squares together, wrong side to wrong side, and work through both layers like this: 1 single crochet around the chain stitches in the corner, * 4 chain stitches, skip 3 double crochets (= double crochet groups) and crochet 1 single crochet between 2 double crochets groups, *, work from *-* up to and including the next corner, work 1 chain stitch (transition to the next 2 squares), work 1 single crochet around the corner on the next square. Work from *-* until the row has been worked together. Cut the strand, then work the squares together in width in the same way. We use the yarn DROPS Paris in the video. This technique is used in several patterns - you can find patterns by clicking on the pictures below:

How to crochet a flounce edge to a garment with a lace pattern

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a flounce edge to a garment. Work from the wrong side, fasten the strand with a single crochet around a decrease in the lace pattern, insert the hook through the garment (from the wrong side to the right side - the strand stays on the wrong side), then insert the hook between the 2 outermost double crochets on the flounce and then back through to the wrong side of the garment, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through the loops on the hook so the flounce is attached to the yoke *, work 8 chain stitches (on the wrong side of the garment), skip to the next decrease on the garment, insert the hook through the garment (from the wrong side to the right side - the strand stays on the wrong side), then insert the hook between the 6th and 7th double crochet after the last time the flounce was attached to the garment, and then back to the wrong side of the garment, make 1 yarn over and pull the strand through the loops on the hook so the flounce is attached to the yoke *, repeat from *-*. It is important the seam is not tight as this will make the garment less elastic. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
