Bonjour sur le schéma A2 on ne fait le jeté que sur le rang envers mais quand on regarde la vidéo de ce point, le jeté est fait sur l’envers mais aussi sur l’endroit. Pouvez vous me confirmer que nous ne devons faire le jeté que sur l envers du tricot comme le montre votre schéma ? Merci par avance Bien cordialement Valérie

Bonjour Valérie, tout dépend du diagramme / du point fantaisie du modèle que vous tricotez, vous avez ici une vidéo standard des côtes anglaises tricotées en allers et retours, mais parfois, entre chaque maille endroit des côtes anglaise (vu sur l'endroit), vous tricoterez soit 1 maille en côtes anglaises (comme ici, le motif est alors réversible), soit 1 ou plusieurs mailles jersey envers/point mousse etc... Suivez ainsi attentivement le diagramme du modèle que vous tricotez, n'hésitez pas à vous entrainer sur un échantillon avant de commencer avec toutes les mailes de votre ouvrage. Bon tricot!

Förstår från kommentarerna att omslaget räknas tillsammans med maskan som en patentmaska när man räknar maskor. Stämmer det? Hur gör jag ett knapphål i patentstickning utan att förstöra mönstret?

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Lovisa. 1 maske + kast = 1 patentmaske. Strikker du et plagg i patent med knappehull vil det stå i selve oppskriften hvordan det strikkes. Som regel vil knappehullet være i en stolpe som ikke er patentstrikket. mvh DROPS Design

How do you count the stitches to get the marker on a knit stitch...is that the knit stitch where you knit the yarn over with a regular stitch?

14.01.2021 - 23:12

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Ford, when we talk about a knitted stitch in a pattern, this should be the stitch that is worked alternately every other round yo, slip as if to P and knit together slipped st and yarn over - most of the time, the yarn over is not counted as a stitch since it belongs to the slipped stitch. Feel free to ask your question in the pattern you are workign on for more informations/details. Thanks for your comprehension. Happy knitting!

When I cast on 39 stitches then do English rib it increases the number of stitches in the first row then my count is out

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Syed, the yarn overs made over the stitches are most often not counted as stitches as they belong to the slipped stitch. Count them as 1 stitch and check if your number of stitches looks right - please feel free to ask your question on the pattern you are working on, it might be easier to help you. Happy knitting!

Bonjour, Pourquoi tous ces jetés-mailles glissées à répétition ?? Il y a peut-être une explication que j'ignore mais j'ai appris la côte anglaise il y a plus de 50 ans, et tout est à l'endroit : nombre pair de mailles, 1 m end, 1 m dble end, finir par 2 m end, et tous les rangs identiques. Beaucoup plus simple et rapide il me semble et je vous assure que le résultat est le même. Merci de me dire s'il y a une raison pour faire différemment. Bonne journée

Hello! I just learned the English Rib Fishermans Rib yesterday and started knitting away. Eventually I made a mistake and I am not able to find any tutorials on how to thread the yarn back on the needle and then correct it to get back to the original knitting pattern. Do you have any tutorials on how to fix mistakes? Thank you

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Liana, this video may perhaps help you. Happy knitting!

Det skal legges opp et jevnt antall masker i patent. En maske løftes av og en strikkes, kastene legges ikke opp. De strikkes inn på 1. pinne. Dette burde gjøres klart i forklaringen. Slik den er skrevet nå gir den inntrykk av at det skal legges opp ujevnt antall masker, det stemmer ikke.

I don't do the continental way of knitting so I can't understand the videos. Are there any videos that show how to make the English Rib using the American way of knitting? Thanks,

10.12.2017 - 05:53

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Thorgeirsson, the technique will be the same, you have to make the YO by putting the yarn in front of work, slip 1 st and K/Pnext st (make sure the yarn is going around slipped stitch on right needle). Happy knitting!

Un grand merci pour ces modèles et les vidéos proposées qui sont d'un grand secours pour la novice que je suis! Auriez vous une vidéo qui explique comment récupérer les mailles en côtes anglaises? J'ai fait une erreur et j'aimerais défaire 3-4 rangs pour supprimer ce défaut. Cependant, je suis incapable de "lire" mes mailles et de les récupérer pour continuer mon tricot. Un grand merci pour votre aide...

L'unico sito che lavora la maglia inglese come si deve e non con punto doppio. Questo tipo di punto non mi rimane in testa e quando cerco qualche spiegazione in rete trovo difficoltà a trovarla. Grazie molto utile Marina

Hej Liv, nej det har vi ikke, og det kan være svært at se, her er det nok en god ide at trevle seneste pind op.

The video tutorial seems to be different than the pattern? Row 2: 1 st in garter st, * 1 YO, slip 1 st as if to P, K tog YO and slipped st *, repeat from *-* until 2 sts remain, finish with 1 YO, slip 1 st as if to P, 1 st in garter st. VS Video: 2nd row: 1 edge st in garter, *yo, slip 1 st as if purled, K next st and yo tog*, rep *-*, end with yo, slip 1 st as if purled, 1 edge st in garter.

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mara, this may vary depending on the number of sts or effect desired by the stylist, remember the video is showing the technique, there can be some variation with the written patterns, follow step by step the pattern looking at the video for the technical points. Happy knitting!

Hvor ofte skal man gentage 2. og 3. pind når man strikker helpatent? Bliver den 1. pind kun strikket en gang?

Hej Inga. Den 1. pind strikker du kun één gang og pind 2 og 3 gentager du til maalene angivet i det mönster du strikker.
