Helt umulig oppskrift. H ar rekt opp så mange ganger. Når jeg har strikket alle 9 omgangene, A1a A2a og A3 a økt som står i mønsteret bli annenhver økning feil. De fikk det heller ikke til i butikken der de selger Drops

Jeg skal i opskriften tage ud på hver 4 omgang i helpatent. Hvordan tæller jeg omgange, hvis jeg ikke kan huske hvor mange omgange jeg har lavet siden sidste udtag. Går der 2 omgange til en maske eller er det 1 til 1, så jeg skal tælle 4 omgange? Hilsen Winnie

DROPS Design :

Hei Winnie. Hver omgang telles som 1 omgang. Til denne videoen gjentar du 2. og 3. omgang = 2 omganger. God Fornøyelse!

Hei Jeg skal strikke Easy Over og har så vidt begynt på halsen. Jeg skjønner ikke hvordan A1 kan bli patent strikk - det ser ikke ut som det og ligner ikke på det som vises i videoen om patentstrikk på rundpinne. Dessuten er det beskrevet med 3 omganger, der 2. og 3. omg skal strikkes videre. I A1 er det 4 omganger og det stemmer ikke på hvordan det skal se ut. Håper dere kan hjelpe. Mvh Kari

DROPS Design :

Hei Kari. Videoen viser en generell video på hvordan strikke patent strikk rundt på rundpinne, da skal man gjenta 2. og 3. omgang. Til oppskriften 217-13 er det laget diagrammer som viser økningene (A.2 og A.3). Om du ser på diagram A.1 er 1., 3., 5. og 7. omgang like (bortsett fra 1. omgang der du enda ikke har fått laget et kast, det strikkes bare rett, mens det i 3., 5. og 7 omgang strikkes det rett med kast) og 2., 4., 6. og 8 omgang er like. Slik at patentmønstret strikkes over 2 omganger. God Fornøyelse!

Hi, I am currently creating a circular swatch of this with 4 stitches at either end (8 total) and 24 stitches in the middle. I've tried multiple times but every time I finish round 3, I am down to 26 stitches with 6 stitches missing. Not sure what I am doing wrong

15.08.2020 - 02:41

DROPS Design :

Dear Alex, at the end of round 2 you make 1 yarn over and slip the last stitch, then, at the beg of round 3 you start with a yarn over, slipping the first stitch - this means you can easily be confused by these 2 sts next to each other, make sure to have a yarn over over each slipped stitch and to knit together every slipped st + their own yarn overs from round 2. Happy knitting!

I am practicing this before I begin the Mountain Moraine sweater. I 'throw'. At the end of row 2 , I end with YO, sl1, then at the beginning of row 2, I start with YO, sl1. Do I really want 2 YO,sl1 together? Won't this show in the knitted garment? Thank YOU.

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Hansen, you will finish round 2 with 1 YO, slip the st as if to P (= see time code 2:43) then start round 3 (= YO, slip 1 as if to P), see time code 5:55); Happy knitting!

Guten Morgen, ja, es stimmt, Fisherman's Rib entspricht im Deutschen dem Patentmuster. Das Patentmuster lässt sich auf zwei verschiedene Arten stricken, mit Umschlägen wie in unserem Video gezeigt oder mit tiefergestochenen Maschen, so wie Sie das auch beschreiben. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

How to work 2-colored English rib with second color in the edge and color change

In this DROPS video we show how to work 2-color English rib in stripes where it works with the second color on the edge stitches/band stitches and how to twist the strands together when changing colors. The edge stitches/band stitches works in garter stitches. ROW 1 (from RS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, switch to the main color, but twist the strands together to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side. Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the right side. ROW 2 (from RS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. ROW 3 (from WS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, change to the main color, remember to twist the strands to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side, lift the edge stitches over to the right needle. Push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the wrong side. ROW 4 (from WS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. Repeat row 1- 4. We use the yarn DROPS Air in the video. You must also read a pattern using this technique as well as watch the video. You can find a pattern using this technique by clicking one the picture below.
