Panels turned and knit together

Several patterns in our more recent collections are worked in panels that are knit together.
Some panels are worked in a spiral and then turned at each corner with 2 sets of short rows.
Then pattern say to work next row from WS: Pick up the outermost st from other side, work first st from left needle, pass the new st over, work the rest of row. Work all sts from RS. Repeat these 2 rows.

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Marrie, Nos vidéos sont muettes. Nous sommes une compagnie active au niveau mondial et nos vidéos sont regardées par des internautes du monde entier, parlant des langues différentes, dont beaucoup ne comprennent pas le français. Nous avons par conséquent opté pour des explications écrites pour accompagner chaque vidéo, et il n'y a pas de son pour perturber pendant que vous regardez la vidéo. Bon tricot!

How to work German Short Rows – with a double stitch round on the needle

German short rows = The work is turned in the middle of a row. When working short rows, there will be a small hole - this can be closed by tightening the thread or using the German short row technique. Row 1 (= right side): Knit until where the piece is to be turned, turn, when it is knitted further there will be a small hole at the turn - this hole can be closed like this: Row 2 (= wrong side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before purling the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch (with a stitch and a thread). Purl until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Row 3 (= right side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before knitting the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch. Knit until the double stitch from the previous row and knit the double stitch so that the thread that was placed over the needle and the stitch is knitted together = 1 stitch. Knit until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Row 4 (= wrong side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before purling the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch. Purl until the double stitch from the previous row and purl the double stitch so that the thread that was placed over the needle and the stitch is purled together = 1 stitch. Purl until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Repeat 3rd and 4th row. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This technique can be used in many patterns; you’ll find pattern by clicking on the pictures under:

How to knit up stitches for the neck to a sweater with European shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches around the neck to a sweater with a European shoulder, using a knitting needle or a crochet hook. Then follow the description in the pattern. There are many different ways to work a rib (e.g knit 1 / purl 1, knit 2 / purl 2, knit 1 twisted / 1 purl etc.). And you can work a single neck, double neck or a high neck. In this video we work a double neck with a rib worked like this: knit 2, purl 2, bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl and then fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8.

How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches to one sleeve, working short rows, decrease under the sleeve, increase stitches before the rib, switch to smaller needle and a little bit of the bind off (knit over knit, and purl over purl). Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stockinette stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8.

How to work a simple v-neck

In this DROPS video we show how to work a simple v-neck in rib with 1 knit / 1 purl. The same technique can be used in the rib when knit 2 / purl 2. First, we show how we knit up stitches, then we knit all the stitches from the wrong side, then we work the rib and at the same time on every 2nd row we decrease 2 stitches mid-front as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before the knitted stitch mid-front, slip 2 stitches as if to knit together, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased). This gives you a neat edge and the knitted stitch follows in a straight line. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

How to work a double knitted V-neck with knit 2 / purl 2

In this DROPS video we show how we work a double knitted V-neck. The neck should be worked in the round, but we only show parts of what happens on the front piece. We are showing: 1) Time: 00.04-01.36. How to put the 2 mid-stiches on a needle and knit, and at the same time knit up stitches from the right side on the neckline. Insert 1 marker between the 2 mid-stitches; these stitches are always knitted. Knit up 2 more stitches on the left side, but the number of stitches must be divisible by 4. 2) Time: 01:37 -03:12. Count back to the beginning of the round so the mid-stitches are knitted when working rib. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2), until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together (even it one stitch should have been a purl stitch), then slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch = 2 knitted stitches mid-front, purl 1 stitch and continue the rib to the end of the round. 3) Time: 03:13 -04:10. Decrease like this on the next round. Above the 6 middle stitches, there will then only be knitted stitches. 4) Time: 04:12 -04:29. Work in the round and decrease on every round until the finish measurement. 5) Time: 04:30-05:52. Work 1 round without decreasing = folding edge. 6) Time: 05:54-08:21. Now increase on each side of the mid-stitches every round as follows: Work rib until there is 1 stitch left before the marker, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (mid-stitches), 1 yarn over and work rib to the end of the round; yarn overs are worked twisted on the next round. 7) Time: 08:25-09:06. Continue to increase until the finish measurement. Bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl. 8) Time: 09:10-09:38. Fold the neck double to the inside and sew a couple of stitches to keep it in place. 9) Time: 09:39-09:56. Finish the double knitted V-neck. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this V-neck to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the picture below.
