Dank voor de video. Is deze afwerking ook geschikt voor de bovenrand van in tricotsteek gebreide toe-up gebreide sokken in plaats van een ribboord?

Dag Luud,

Jazeker, dat kan! Je kunt deze rand ook voor de boord aan het einde van een breiwerk maken. Je naait dan de afkantrand (in plaats van de opzetrand) vast aan de verkeerde kant van het breiwerk.

Si claro queda un buen elástico, por ej para una campera o un buzo, si lo quieres muy ajustado téjelo con unas agujas un par de números mas bajos. Suerte!

Hejsa, i stedet for at sy kanten op, er der så ikke noget med, at man kan strikke den op? Jeg synes jeg har set det engang, men jeg ved ikke hvordan man gør. Mange tak for jeres mange lærerige videoer :-)
