Europeand shoulders – Short overview
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.

Ni har fantastiska videos och lärt mig så mycket, tack!! Men jag undrar vad är skillnaden på europeiskt Ok och europeiskt Axel?

Hei Hson. Tusen takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding :) En enkel forklaringer: Europeisk axel - en konstruktion där axeln börjar en bit ner på ryggen. Europeiskt ok - en konstruktionsteknik där axlarna börjar en bit ned på ryggen samtidigt som man stickar ärmarna. Om du ser på start-bildet til videoene: Europeisk axel - Kort översikt og Europeiskt ok - kort översikt. Og: Halsen är färdig efter att ärmmaskorna har stickats upp. Vil du se at på siste video strikker man også ermene. mvh DROPS Design
