Ik probeerde deze vraag op de patroonpagina van Mermaid Tales te stellen maar de reCAPTCHA op die pagina werkte niet dus ik probeer het hier. Hoe moet ik 3 omslagen maken in dat patroon? Als ik dat doe op de hierboven aangegeven manier, wordt het heel anders dan op de foto en kom ik niet uit met het aantal steken. Alvast bedankt!

Dag Anne,

In het patroon Mermaid Tailes (203-32) hoef je geen 3 omslagen te maken, maar misschien bedoel je een ander patroon?

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Touzalin, difficile d'être bien précis sans connaître le modèle, toutefois, je suggère que ces parties entre ++ sont à répéter, par exemple ++2 jetés, 2 m end++ (3 fois), répétez 3 fois (2 jetés, 2 m end). Vérifiez si ça vous paraît cohérent avec votre modèle. Bon tricot!

Een ajoursteek bestaat vaak uit meerdere aparte steken, bijvoorbeeld: omslag, 2 r samenbreien, 1 r afh, 1 r, overhalen en zo voort. Deze steken zijn allemaal apart te zien op video's hier op de site.

How to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches – back and forth

In this DROPS video we show how to increase 2 stitches to 4 stitches. We show the increases twice and how the increases stitches are worked in the next row. Knit 2 together but do not slip the stitches from the left needle, make 1 yarn over, knit 1 through the back loop of each of the same 2 stitches on the left needle, then slip the stitches off the left needle = 2 stitches have become 4 stitches (yarn over is purled twisted on next row to avoid a hole). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This technique is used in several patterns - you can find patterns by clicking on the pictures below:

Work A.1 like this: Place 4 stitches on cable needle behind the piece, knit 2, work 3 stitches in each of the 4 stitches on cable needle (work front, back, front loop of each stitch). 8 increased stitches. Work A.2 like this: Place 2 stitches on cable needle in front of piece, work 3 stitches in each of the next 4 stitches (work front, back, front loop of each stitch), knit 2 from cable needle. 8 increased stitches.
