Czy kolejny marker za 6-6-6-8 (8-8) oznacza okrążenia ? czyli 6 okrążeń słupków i kolejny marker? rozumiem że jeśli wybieram rozmiar 6/9, to znacznik umieszczam po 6 okrążeniach i dodaję 20 oczek?- Tylko w jakich momentach je dodaję? Czemu w przypadku mniejszej czapeczki dodaję więcej oczek (26)? Czy jeśli zacząć na lewej stronie robótki, tzn odwrócić ją i robić w odwrotną stronę?

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.
