How do I add an row on the opposite side (Arrowhead pattern) for underarm increase? My attempts have added an uneven row.

15.04.2020 - 09:51

DROPS Design :

Dear Mary, not sure which pattern you are working on (Arrowhead is a knitted pattern to me), but when you cast on new stitches at the end of each next 2 rows for sleeves you will then have 1 row difference for the sleeve, but this difference shouldn't be that visible. If you like to avoid this, just cut the yarn, and cast on stitches for sleeve, then work back/front piece and cast on the new chains for 2nd sleeve, so that the chains for both sleeves are on the same row. You might have to adjust the pattern. Happy crocheting!

Bonjour, comment faire pour éviter l'effet escalier quand on doit augmenter de plusieurs mailles en début et fin de rang , sur plusieurs rangs de suite (pour faire des manches par exemple)? merci

29.06.2019 - 03:02

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Faliguerho, il est parfois difficile de supprimer l'effet escalier, mais dans le cas d'une manche, la couture vient bien souvent cacher cet effet. Bon crochet!

Lurer på hvordan en skal legge opp ekstra masker på begge sidene for at det skal bli likt? I oppskriften står det: "legg opp 12 nye m i hver side". Forstår denne når det er 1 side, men når jeg da gjør det på den andre siden, vil det bli en rad mindre på denne.

Hej, om du skal øke i hver side, så hækler du først det antal lm du skal øke, hækler over det stykket du har og hækler lm i den anden side af stykket. God fornøjelse!

How to increase 1 stitch by working 2 stitch in same stitch

In this DROPS video we show how to increase on each side of a marker thread by working 2 stitches in the same stitch. Increase on each side of marker as follows: Work until 4 stitches remain before marker thread, increase 1 stitch in next stitch, work 6 stitches (marker thread is in the middle of these 6 stitches), increase 1 stitch in next stitch (= 2 stitches increased at the marker thread and 4 stitches increased in total on row). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern with this technique by clicking on the picture below.

Round yoke crochet: How to increase right/left of markers

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 work back and forth, but the technique is the same if you work in the round. In the video we placed 6 markers on the row and in the first row we increase by working 2 dc in 1 dc on the RIGHT side of each marker (or BEFORE the marker) and in the second row we increase by working 2 dc in 1 dc on the LEFT side of each marker (or AFTER the marker). REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern using this technique, go to: DROPS 164-33 To see how to work sleeves after yoke is finished, go to: Round yoke crochet: how to work body/sleeve under yoke

How to turn 1 strand into 3 from the same ball of yarn

In this DROPS video we how to make 3 strands out of 1 single strand from a ball of yarn. 1. Make a simple loop (like the loop worked when you begin any crochet project) and pull it to approx. 2-3 cm = ¾"-1⅛" in length. 2. Thread the strand from the skein through this loop, creating a new loop of approx. 40-50 cm = 15¾"-19¾". 3. Lay this loop alongside the working strand, so 1 strand becomes 3 strands. 4. Knit or crochet using these 3 strands until there is approx. 2 cm = ¾" left. Repeat points 2 to 4.
