Det här bikupemönstret ser inte alls ut som bikupemönstret i ert mönsterbibliotek och era senaste tröjor med det mönstret, Var kan jag hitta en sådan video?

DROPS Design :

Hei Hson. Ta en titt på video: "Hur man stickar ett smockmönster" og "Hur man stickar M.1 i DROPS 117-20". Kanskje de er mer lik det mønstret du er ute etter. Evnt send oss et Spørsmål under den DROPS oppskriften du ønsker å se en video til, så kan vi se om vi kan lage en video på akkurrat det mønstret du er ute etter. mvh DROPS Design

Hi, great video tutorial but do you have any advice on how to do decreases with this kind of pattern? Thank you!

DROPS Design :

Dear Ema, if you decrease in this pattern, the pattern will get disrupted; you can't maintain it. That's why you should decrease on the sides, so that the disruption is less visible. For example, at the start of the row, work 1 simple decrease, then work the honeycomb pattern and end the row with knit 2 together. Happy knitting!

Danke für das nette Video. gibt es dafür auch eine Anleitung für eine Mütze?

Eigentlich handelt es sich doch um ein Muster für eine gerade Maschenzahl. Warum steht zu Beginn der Anleitung, dass man eine ungerade Maschenzahl anschlagen soll? Das widerspricht übrigens auch der Anzahl der Maschen (100) bei dem verlinkten Modell, das dieses Muster verwendet.

Rund strickst du die Hinreihen genauso und in den Rückreihen alle Maschen links statt rechts. Ganz einfach! Viel Erfolg für die Mütze!

How to work a rib (knit 1, purl 1) around with circular needles

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). 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.
