Cast on - continental method
The cast on should be firm but not too hard. If you feel it becomes too tight you can use larger needles or cast on around two needles and then pull one needle out afterwards. Remember to use the correct needles when starting your knitting.

Wie weiß ich wie lange der Faden sein soll beim Anschlagen... es ist mir schon oft passiert, das bei vielen Anschlagmaschen der Faden nicht gereicht hat und ich nochmal neu anfangen musste... danke auch im Voraus auch für die vielen tollen Tipps...

Ik heb het op deze manier geleerd vroeger op school. Mijn moeder zette altijd al breiend steken op, maar is later overgestapt op deze methode (moest ik voor haar doen...) omdat ze de opzetrand mooier en steviger vond.:)

Tak for videoen. Er der en tommelfingerregel for hvor startløkken skal sættes på garnet? Jeg skal slå 234 masker op på pind nr. 3,5 og arbejder med 50g /100 meter og oplever hele tiden, at der mangler garn til de sidste masker og det er irriterende at skulle starte forfra med opslagningen, når der er tale om så mange masker. Så, findes der en formel til udregningen af startstedet for den første Løkke?

When the pattern says Size: 3 - 6/9 (12/18 - 24) months. Does this mean there are just two pattern sizes which fit this age range? To knit the smallest size does the 3 - 6/9 months fit this category? Also it says Jacket: Cast on 130 -140 sts. How do you decide which amount and can it be any amount between these two numbers. I apologise if this is a silly question but I love the Drops patterns and the yarn and hope to learn more about the instructions. Thank you. Nessa from Scotland

Dear Nessa, when a pattern says: Size: 3 - 6/9 (12/18 - 24) months it is available in 4 sizes: 1st size (smallest) = 3 months, 2nd size = 6/9 months, (3rd size = 12/18 months and 4th size (largest) = 24 months). When you read Jacket: Cast on 130 -140 sts, this jacket is in 2 sizes, in the smallest size cast on 130 sts and in the largest size cast on 140 sts. Happy knitting!

Als je gaat breien op een rondbreinaald moet je dan de steken opzetten op een gewone naald en dan overzetten op de rondbreinaald?

Hoi Mary. Je kan opzetten op een rondbreinaald, maar vind je het prettiger om op te zetten op een rechte naald en daarna overzetten op de rondbreinaald, dan kan dat ook.

Start knitting from the center and out
Several of our most popular patterns (example 146-2, 148-1, 126-1, 150-11) starts in the center of the piece with a few stitches and double pointed needles. It's a bit tricky to get started but gets easier and easier as you increase. Make sure to use markers to show where the increases are made. Keep increasing and work your way out. As the piece grows you continue with a longer and longer circular needle to fit all stitches. In this DROPS Video we show an example from pattern 146-2 on how to do so. REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern with this technique, go to: DROPS 146-2
