Varför skrivs inte hela beskrivningen ut på hur man gör diagramet? Det är en jättesvår video att följa utan en skriven beskrivning...

Var det ikke en ide at vise hvordan man strikker mønster 1B, efter man har stikket hele mønster 1A. Det er åbenbart her at mange går i stå, inkl mig selv. Vh Dorte

How to knit M.1B in DROPS 140-14, 133-1 and 130-1

In this DROPS video we show how to knit chart M.1B (last part of chart) used in 3 very popular shawls. We choose to show 2 repeats of the chart next to each other, we placed a white marking thread that shows where 2nd repeat starts (the patterns includes several repeats). 1st row and all WS rows: P on WS - 1st row is not shown in video. 2nd row works from RS and works "K2 tog, yo" across and always end with K1 in last st. 3rd row WS: P all sts 4th row RS: K2 into 1 st, K3, slip 1 st, K 1, psso, K2 tog, K3, K2 into 1 st, repeat over following repeats and end with K1 6th row RS: K2 into 1 st, K2 into 1 st, K3, slip 1 st, K 1, psso, K2 tog, K3, K2 into 1 st, K2 into 1 st, repeat over following repeats and end with K1. For each time you work row 6 and row 10 with 2 times "K2 into 1 st" after each other you will get an additional K stitch on each side of inc in the middle of the repeat. We added an additional marking thread to show the middle of the repeat. You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow.

How to knit a hooded scarf, following DROPS pattern 253-61

In this DROPS video, we have already worked the hood (size L/XL) and placed the stitches on 2 stitch holders. We now show how to knit up stitches around the hood and work an I-cord cast-off until there are 2 stitches left on the row. These 2 stitches are placed on one of the stitch holders, while 2 stitches are picked up on the other side and placed on the second stitch holder. Read I-CORD CAST-OFF in the pattern text. Cut the strand. Place the stitches from one stitch holder back on the needles. Now we show you how to cast on stitches for the right-hand side of the scarf, work 1 row before knitting together the hood and scarf, starting mid-back. At the same time, you work I-cord edge stitches and moss stitch rib. Read the explanations in the pattern text, for I-CORD CAST-OFF, 2 I-CORD EDGE STITCHES, moss stitch rib and how the hood and scarf are joined. When all stitches are picked up from the hood (50 rows worked), the 2 stitches from the stitch holder are still separate and on the stitch holder (in the video they are placed on the needle). Knit these 2 stitches (in size S/M there are 3 stitches on the stitch holder, you then knit 1 and knit the other 2 stitches together). Then work back from the wrong side with 2 I-cord edge stitches, purl 2 together, work moss stitch rib until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and work 2 I-cord edge stitches. Read the explanation in the pattern text on how and where to cast off the scarf’s right-hand side. We show row 1 (from the right side) of the 8 first rows, then how to cast off on row 1 (from the right side). Now work the left-hand side of the scarf, then sew the cast-on edges on the right and left-hand sides of the scarf together mid-back, using grafting stitch. We use the yarns DROPS Daisy and DROPS Kid-Silk in the video, with the same colours and needle size as in the pattern.
