How to knit a horizontal solid coloured braid

Keywords: cable,

In this DROPS video we show how to knit a horizontal solid coloured braid (aka Lateral braid or Estonian Vikkel braid).

Knitting a horizontal braid creates a line of horizontally-aligned knit stitches. You can do single or multicolored Vikkel braid.

Start by casting on a new stitch before the first stitch.
*Knit into the back of the 2nd stitch. Then knit into the 1st stitch. Drop both stitches off the left needle. Slip the first stitch on right needle back onto the left needle*. Repeat *-* until last st on row. K last st, and pass next to last st over.

How do you this in round (neat seam)? And is there a trick to get the stiches on the next round to stay normal? Miten tämä tehdään pyörönä, niin, että kerroksen vaihtumiskohdasta saa siistin? Myös se kiinnostaa, miten välttää seuraavan kerroksen silmukoiden venymisen.

Kaia! Jeg får også lange stygge masker etter å ha strikket neste pinne. Veldig frustrerende. Noen som kan hjelpe oss?

Fletten var kjempe enkel, men når jeg ble ferdig ble maskene som kom tilbake på pinnen så lange så det så ut som at jeg hadde laget kast på pinnen mellom maskene, men det hadde jeg ikke gjort. Hva gjør jeg med det? Strikker maskene fra andre siden av buen på baksiden?
