Hvorfor øker man bare 4 ganger hver andre omgang, og hvordan øker man? Oppskrift Graceful cables

DROPS Design :

Hei Alfred. Om du tenker på raglan økninger så har du først økt på hver omgang X antall ganger og deretter 4 ganger på hver 2. omgang, slik at genseren skal få en best mulig passform. Det økes ved å hekle 2 masker i 1 maske. Se evnt hjelpevideoene til høyre/ eller under bildet. mvh DROPS Design

Was versteht man darunter: ich verstehe ja, wie man 2 Stb. zwischen die 2 Stb. der Vorreihe häkeln, aber was ist damit gemeint, dass das Stäbchen um die ganze M. gehäkelt wird. Welches Stäbchen? Um welche ganze Masche?

This bag looks so nice and I want to make it but find the instructions so confusing and hard to follow. First of all A1 and A2 diagrams. Do you start with middle group of 3 stitches and go up or down diagram to complete stitch group in the round. Is each group of 3stitches done in 1 stitch?? What does work A2 over each repeat of A1 mean? Does this mean first do a row of A2 and then a row ofA1 Please clarify in English

Como disminuir 4 puntos al final de una fila y como comenzar la otra

22.06.2019 - 20:55

DROPS Design :

Hola Odalys. Si tienes que disminuir más de 2 puntos al final de la fila trabajar como sigue: terminar la fila antes y no trabajar los puntos que hay que disminuir ( por ejemplo, si tienes que disminuir 4 puntos, terminas la fila 4 puntos antes y giras la labor). Al inicio de la fila se trabajan puntos enanos sobre los puntos que hay que disminuir.

How to increase right/left of markers on a crochet round yoke

When working a round yoke top down you can increase by using markers on the row and work the increases alternatively on the right and the left of each marker. In this DROPS video we show you how to do this. Here we crochet back and forth, but the techique is the same if you work in the round. In this video we placed 6 markers on the row and in the first row we increase by working 2 tr in 1 tr on the RIGHT side of each marker (or BEFORE the marker) and in the second row we increase by working 2 tr in 1 tr on the LEFT side of each marker (or AFTER the marker). As this is a standard technique, you must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Mittens - before and after felting

In this DROPS video we show a pair of mittens before and after felting. To prevent the thumb from felting together, turn the mitten to WS (wrong side) and place a narrow silk ribbon along the thumb. Secure the ribbon with a safety pin – NB: insert the pin vertically towards the tip of the thumb so it is easy to remove after felting. Turn the mitten back to RS (right side) before felting. 1. Place the mittens in the washing machine with a wool detergent that does not contain enzymes or optical brighteners. 2. Wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, normal spin, no pre-wash. 3. Stretch and shape the mittens to the correct measurements while still wet. 4. If they turn out too small: soak in water until completely wet, then stretch back to the desired size. 5. Afterwards, the mittens can be washed as any other wool garment.
