How to work treble crochet and get a straight line running down the beginning/ending of the rounds

Video thumbnail for How to work treble crochet and get a straight line running down the beginning/ending of the rounds
In this DROPS video we show how to get a straight line running down the beginning/the end of the rounds. Work in the round alternately from the right and wrong side, turning the piece after each round.
It you work round and round from the right side; the line at the beginning of the round is then slightly diagonal (see the sample patch on the right at the beginning of the video).

We also work the piece in stripes and to get a neat transition when changing colours, we work the slip stitch at the end of the round in the new colour.

Each round of treble crochets begins with 3 chain stitches which do not replace the first treble crochet. The rounds finish with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Bonjour, j\'envisage de crocheter le snood Blue Philip pour enfants en plusieurs couleurs : il se crochète en mailles serrées. La façon de faire est la même que pour un travail avec des brides? Merci de votre réponse et pour les jolis modèles que vous proposez, Anne Roget

Bonjour Mme Roger, effectivement, on va procéder de la même façon car ce snood se crochète en rond, mais alternativement sur l'endroit et sur l'envers. Bon crochet!

Then work 2 chain stitches (replacing the first half-treble crochet), 1 half-treble crochet in each of the remaining chain stitches, 2 half-treble crochets around the 2 chain stitches at the beginning of the round. Insert 1 marker-thread at the beginning of the round to show where it begins and work round and round without finishing each round. On round 2 work the first treble crochet in the 2nd chain stitch from the beginning of first round, then work 1 treble crochet in each half-treble crochet.

How to work a sock with a diamond heel

In this DROPS video we give you a short overview of how to work a sock with a diamond heel. All stitches remain on the needles while knitting the heel. To make the heel, follow these steps: 1. Knit in the round, gradually increasing stitches at the back of the sock until the desired width and length of the heel have been achieved. 2. Decrease the heel stitches while continuing to knit in the round. 3. Continue knitting towards the toe. 4. The combination of increases and decreases forms a diamond-shaped section at the back of the sock, which is why this type of heel is called a diamond heel.

Europeand shoulders – Short overview

In this DROPS video we give you a short overview of how to work a garment with European shoulders. The garment is worked according to points 1 – 3. 1 - BACK PIECE: Cast on stitches for the back of the neck. Work the back piece back and forth, increasing stitches on each side until the shoulder stitch count has been achieved. The back piece has slightly diagonal shoulders. Continue working as far as the armholes. The back piece stitches are now placed on a stitch holder and the front piece is worked. 2 - FRONT PIECE: The piece is begun in 2 sections. Start by knitting up stitches along one back shoulder, working pattern back and forth and downwards, while increasing for the neckline. Repeat on the other shoulder. The right and left front pieces are joined when the neckline increases are finished. The front piece is then continued back and forth as far as the armholes. 3 - YOKE: Place the front and back pieces on the same circular needle, joining them together by cast on stitches under each sleeve. The body is continued in the round to the correct measurement.
