Bonjour le point ajouré que je fais n'est pas joli et je regarde la vidéo mais cela ne m'aide pas. auriez-vous d'autres explications à me donner s'il vous plaît

20.04.2020 - 11:48

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Dumet, sans autres précisions ni informations il est difficile de vous aider, peut-être pourriez-vous poser votre question sur le modèle que vous tricotez? En indiquant bien le diagramme concerné? Dans cette vidéo, on fait 2 jetés (= on va enrouler 2 fois le fil autour de l'aiguille) mais au rang suivant, on ne va en tricoter qu'un seul, vous pouvez tricoter le 1er jeté et lâcher le 2ème ou bien lâcher le 1er jeté et ne tricoter que le 2ème si c'est plus facile pour vous. En espérant que ces informations complémentaires puissent vous aider. Bon tricot!

La video est déroutante car la personne tient son fil de la main gauche et moi de la main droite ! Du coup c'est difficile a suivre !

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Davesne, le principe est le même quand on a le fil dans la main droite, regardez bien le mouvement et l'emplacement du fil. Bon tricot!
