Videos have tutorials for both DC (US) and TR (UK) which terms are used in pattern? In other words, is the pattern itself written in US or UK terms? Important to know that before I start! I'd LOVE to make this for my 1 granddaughter, but want to make sure I do it right. I hate to waste time frogging if I don't have to. Hope I get an answer to this.

Det är i texten det står fel. Den första genomdragningen genom en ögla ska inte vara där, man drar igenom 2 först, gör ett omslag och drar igenom de 2 sista på nålen, när man gör en st. precis som filmen visar. När du virkar 1 hst. gör du ett omslag och sen drar du igenom alla 3 öglorna på nålen på en gång. :-)

Hej, vet inte om jag är ute och cyklar nu men jag upplever inte att textbeskrivningen och videon visar samma sak. Textbeskrivningen är för en stolpe men videon visar en halvstolpe eller har jag fel?

Hvorfor gør hun ikke det der står i forklaringensteksten?? Når hun har stukket nålen gennem masken trækker hun snoren igennem 2 lykker og ikke kun 1lykke som der står???
