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.

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.
