How to knit a pintuck (aka tuck)

Video thumbnail for How to knit a pintuck (aka tuck)
In this DROPS video we show how to knit a pintuck, also know as a tuck.

Knit a number of rows for the tuck with a contrasting color starting from WS. Number of rows depends on how thick the yarn is, and how big of a tuck you want. Finish with a row from RS.

The video is showing you 2 ways of doing the tuck:
1st with a ridge: using main color * pull up the top of st from the last row knitted with main color, put loop on right needle, P 1, pass the pulled-up loop over the P st *, repeat * - *
2nd without ridge: using main color * pull up the top of st from the first row knitted with tuck color, put loop on left needle, P the loop and following st together *, repeat * - *

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Kan man godt strikke den Biese, hvis man strike rundt på rundpinde? Altså fx, på en hue? Eller kan man kun lave dem hvis man strikker frem og tilbage?

Il y a une 3ème méthode que j'utilise quotidiennement, jersey double en tricotant toujours la même maille : 1er rang dans la couleur principale : on fait un jeté entre chaque maille. Deuxième rang : on ne tricote que les jetés torse, ensuite on fait du jersey en tricotant toujours les mêmes mailles le nombre de rangs nécessaires. A la fin, on tricote les mailles 2 par 2.

When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches.
