How to knit up stitches for the neck to a jumper with European shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches around the neck to a jumper with a European shoulder, using a knitting needle or a crochet hook. Then follow the description in the pattern.
There are many different ways to work a rib (e.g knit 1 / purl 1, knit 2 / purl 2, knit 1 twisted / 1 purl etc.). And you can work a single neck, double neck or a high neck.

In this video we work a double neck with a rib worked like this: knit 2, purl 2, cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl and then fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down.


In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima colour no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk colour no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 mm. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

Hei Gunhild. Se vårt forslag på ditt forrige innlegg :) (se oppskrifter strikket ovenifra og ned, sjekk hals maskeantall og omgjør det til en genser (med den strikkefasthet og str. du strikker) som strikkes nedenifra og opp). mvh DROPS Design

Hei, takk for raskt svar! Jeg er interessert i å finne ut hvordan man beregner halsåpning, strikker ikke etter oppskrift. Bruker samme garn og pinner som i videoen, og strikker nedenfra og opp. Når jeg søker på nedenfra og opp får jeg ingen treff, og på garnsøk kun raglan- strikk. Hva skal jeg søke på for å finne ut hvor mange masker som skal settes av til hals? Mvh Gunhild

DROPS Design :

Hei Gunhild. Vi har ingen oppskrift der det strikkes nedenifra og opp med europeisk skulder, derfor kommer det ikke opp noen oppskrifter når du søker. Du kan søke på ovenfra og ned, sjekke maskeantallet til hals på en genser som har samme strikkefasthet som du strikker og samme str. Og ut fra det finne ut hvor mange masker du ønsker til hals, men ønsker du vid, dyp, enkelt eller dobbel halskant osv.? Vi kan dessverre ikke oppi et maskeantall til en oppskrift vi ikke kjenner til og garantere at det blir riktig slik du ønsker halskanten. mvh DROPS Design

Hei, Hvor mange masker er det satt av på for- og bakstykket? Hvilken oppskrift hører denne til? Mvh Gunhild

Hei Gunhild. Dette er en generel video som viser teknikken. Du må bruke maskeantallet som er oppgitt i den oppskriften du strikker etter. Om du tar en titt på oppskrift DROPS Children 47-12 er denne ganske lik genseren i videoen. mvh DROPS Design

How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches to one sleeve, working short rows, decrease under the sleeve, increase stitches before the rib, switch to smaller needle and a little bit of the cast off (knit over knit, and purl over purl). Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stocking stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima colour no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk colour no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 mm.

How to work European Shoulders with inc to armhole, front pieces together and front & back together

In this DROPS video we show how you cast on stitches between the front pieces to a garment with European shoulders, increase for armholes on each side, how to work the front pieces together and how to work the front and back piece together. From the right side, knit the stitches on the right front piece, cast on new stitches (read how many stitches in the pattern) and knit the stitches that are on a thread/stitch holder on the left front piece. The front pieces are now worked together. Knit stockinette stitch back and forth to the given measurement (11 cm in this video), measured along the armhole. Now increase 1 stitch in each side, increase on the inside of 3 stitches in each side, read INCREASE TIP below. Increase on every 2nd row as many times as it says in the pattern. Continue with stockinette stitch to the measurement says in the pattern (15 cm in this video). Now cast on new stitches under the 1st sleeve, knit the stitches from the back piece and cast on new stitches under the 2nd sleeve. Put the work together and follow the description of the body in the pattern. When you place the front piece on the back piece, please note that the top of the armhole is not where it was knitted up in stitches to the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece. The front piece is longer than the back piece. INCREASE TIP: From right side increase towards the left AFTER MARKER like this: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop. Increase towards the right BEFORE MARKER: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop.

How to work european shoulder with increases to the armholes – Backpiece

In this DROPS video we show how to work the first part to a jumper with European shoulder with increases to the armhole, this is the back piece. We increase both for right side (RS) and wrong side (WS). We increase before/after 3 stitches in this video, but this can vary from pattern to pattern. After it has been increased to the correct number of stitches, continue working without increases, then you put a mark in the side(s), the work should be measured from here. The description of where to measure from can vary from pattern to pattern. When you have the correct number of stitches and length (in this video 5 cm), you start by increasing to armholes. Increase as before to the correct number of stitches and cm measurement. Cut the thread and put the stitches on a thread/stitch holder. Increase like this: From RS increase towards the left AFTER MARKER like this: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and knit stitch in back loop. Increase towards the right BEFORE MARKER: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and knit stitch in front loop. From WS increase towards the left AFTER MARKER like this: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from behind and purl stitch in front loop. Increase towards the right BEFORE MARKER: Use left needle to pick up thread between 2 stitches from row below, pick up thread from front and purl stitch in back loop.
