How to work around a single crochet

In this DROPS video we show how to work around a single crochet, not work in the loops. In this way, a type of “edge” is created, as you see on the Sunshine Smiles hat in DROPS 229-29. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns with this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to crochet slip stitch around double crochet stitches

In this DROPS video, we show how we crochet slip stitches around double crochet stitches, so that a nice thick edge is formed. To emphasise the edge and give it a little weight, we crochet this round with double thread, while the rest of the work has been crocheted with 1 thread. The slip stitches must not be crocheted too tight. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.

We have already worked the leg and in the video we show who we work over 16 stitches over the leg and how to decrease 8 stitches, and then increase / work stitches in the side back and forth, to we have 16 stitches again. The "Rainbow Racers" socks are worked with 2 threads DROPS Delight, but in the video we use 1 thread DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.

Pull out a loop with the crochet hook to the desired length, twist the thread (the more times the thread is twisted, the tighter the fringe become), fold the thread double and it will twist together. Work a single crochet in the next stitch. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

How to cut a jacket and 6 different bands

Many find it scary to cut in knitwear, while others have no problems and are more than happy cutting without sewing with a sewing machine or crocheting an edge before cutting. Highly recommend that you read the text below to get a better understanding of the video. In this DROPS video we use the yarn DROPS Nepal and show 3 different ways to sew / attach threads before cutting. We also show 6 different bands. We do not show how the bands are knitted in this video. The sample pieces in the video have 7 steek stitches (= cutting stitches) as we work with each other every color and the mid stitch is marked with a contrasting thread. You can also have more or less steek stitches (= cutting stitches). Often a jacket pattern will be explained how to knit back and forth, so these steek stitches are not explained in the pattern, but you have to add them yourself. On sample piece A and B a row with double crochets are worked, while on sample piece C, D, E and F, a sewing machine is used before cutting. On sample piece A half of the 3rd and half of the 4th stitches are worked together, while half of the 4th and half of the 5th stitches are worked together on sample piece B. A sewing machine with zigzag stitch is used on piece C and D and a zigzag stitch + 1 straight stitch on piece E and F. Overview of the different bands: A) The cutting edge is worked using double crochets with a thinner thread than the garment itself (use a thinner thread and with the same content if possible, in this video we use DROPS Flora, color no. 19 coral). The band is a long loose strip worked in garter stitches that is sewn to the garment, make sure the band is not being too long or too short in relation to the garment. The raw edge is sewn directly to the garment on the wrong side. B) The cutting edge is worked using double crochets with a thinner thread than the garment itself (use a thinner thread and with the same content if possible, in this video we use DROPS Flora, color no. 19 coral). The band is worked in one piece, half rib (knit 1, purl 1 with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch) and half stockinette stitch. The band is sewn to the garment and the stockinette stitch piece is laid over the raw edge and sewn from the wrong side. C) The cutting edge is sewn using zigzag from a sewing machine, approx. 0,5-1,0 cm = 1/8”-3/8" from where it is to be cut. For the band, stitches are picked up in the first stitch in the garment itself. Skip approx. every 4 stitches to avoid the band being too long in relation to the garment. The band is worked in garter stitch to the desired measurement and the raw edge is concealed with a decorative ribbon. D) The cutting edge is sewn using zigzag from a sewing machine, approx. 0,5-1,0 cm = 1/8”-3/8" from where it is to be cut. For the band, stitches are picked up in the first stitch in the garment itself. Skip approx. every 4 stitches to avoid the band being too long in relation to the garment. Work the band using stockinette stitch to the desired measurement, then purl 1 row (folding edge) and then stockinette stitch. The last part with stockinette stitches should be laid over the raw edge and sewn. E) The cutting edge is sewn using straight seam over a zigzag seam (= 2 seams) from a sewing machine, approx. 0,5 - 1,0 cm = 1/8”-3/8" from where it is to be cut. For the band, stitches are picked up in the first stitch in the garment itself. Skip approx. every 4 stitches to avoid the band being too long in relation to the garment. The band is worked in rib, knit 2, purl 2 to the desired measurement and the raw edge is concealed with a decorative ribbon. F) The cutting edge is sewn using straight seam over a zigzag seam (= 2 seams) from a sewing machine, approx. 0,5 -1,0 cm = 1/8”-3/8" from where it is to be cut. For the band, stitches are picked up in the first stitch in the garment itself. Skip approx. every 4 stitches to avoid the band being too long in relation to the garment. The band is worked in rib (knit 2, purl 2) to the desired measurement. At the wrong side, pick up the same amount of stitches in the same stitch as the band and work a piece (stockinette stitch) to be laid over the raw edge and sewn. We use the yarn DROPS Nepal in this video.
