Hei! Jeg har prøvd å hekle krepsemasker etter video og instruksjon i heklebok, men får det ikkke til. Har prøvd uendelig mange ganger, timevis; uansett lir det bare en kjedekant. Hekler fra venstre mot høyre og mener jeg gjør som videoen viser - men det blir bare kjeder???

Hej Gry, det er svært at sige hvad du gør fejl.... hvis du følger videoen, så bliver kanten som den du ser på billedet. God fornøjelse!

Thanks for your great videolibrary. In here there isn't anything that one wouldn't need. However I would find it much more easy to follow and understand if you'd use different color yarn. But still great video. Thanks a bunch!
