Merci pour cette excellente technique que je viens d'apprendre. Cependant, quelle grandeur de fil faut-il utiliser pour monter 106 mailles ? Quelle est le coté endroit, et envers lorsque l'on commence ?Merci

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Christie, certains montages nécessitent de prévoir plus de fil que d'autres, prévoyez au moins 3 à 4 fois la largeur (ou circonférence) de l'ouvrage - avec l'habitude vous arriverez plus facilement. Le 1er rang peut se faire soit sur l'endroit, soit sur l'envers, en fonction du résultat souhaité. Bon tricot!

Super - ich mache diesen Anschlag schon seit vielen Jahren, er wurde mir von einer Handarbeitslehrerin gezeigt. Ich habe noch niemanden gefunden, der ihn kennt. Endlich weiss ich woher er kommt und wie er heisst. Der Anschlag ist super, das Risiko bei der nächsten Reihe/Runde eine Mache zu verlieren (und damit neu zu beginnen) ist viel kleiner und der Anschlag ist super elastisch!

Bonjour, merci pour cette méthode simple, rapide et efficace. Le résultat est soigné, propre. Ce sera parfait pour mes chaussettes. Attention à prévoir assez de fil pour monter toutes les mailles, je me suis faite avoir la première fois! Prévoyez une large marge!!!

How to have enough thread when you cast on

In this DROPS video we show an easy way to find out how to have enough thread when you cast up (continental method). Wrap the thread as many times around the knitting needle as many stitch number your work need. Have approx. 10 cm/4 inches thread end at the beginning to hold on (we also tie a knot to mark exactly how much thread it is left when you finish cast on). In the video we wrap around/cast on 16 stitches with DROPS Snow from Garnstudio, then 40 stitches with a thinner thread, DROPS Cotton Merino from Garnstudio.

There are various methods to cast on. In this video, you don’t need to guess how much yarn you have to use, like in the more common "long tail cast on".

Cast on - continental method

There are different methods to cast on. This one is the most common that gives a firm but still elastic edge. It’s called the 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.

This video show you everything from cast on, knit your stitches back and forth, and to end your piece with bind off. Mastering these techniques is the start of many exciting projects as your first dish cloth, potholder or headband... When knitting all sts on every row, it's called garter stitch. The fabric looks the same on both sides, perfect for scarfs !

Cast on with two needles

To avoid the cast on edge being too tight we sometimes recommend in our patterns to cast on with two needles, then pull one needle out and start working on your garment.

How to work with 2 circular needles with different needle sizes

In this DROPS video we show you how to work rib in a stockinette stitch piece. To allow the rib to tighten, work the rib with a smaller needle size than the rest of the piece. Use both ends of the needle when working.
