Hallo, die Noppe beginnt auf der links gestrickten Seite, es werden nicht wie angegeben 4 Reihen über die 5 Maschen gestrickt sondern fünf und die Noppe wird dann auf der rechts gestrickten Seite beendet?! Das verstehe ich nicht, da geht doch das Muster nicht auf, oder?

Liebe Emily, es stimmt, die Noppe wird hier über 5 Reihen gestrickt - Korrektur erfolgt. Das Video zeigt die Technik, immer wie in der Anleitung stricken, dh die Reihenanzahl kann unterschiedlich sein. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Dag Jetty, Wellicht laadt de video (tijdelijk) niet goed. Probeer de pagina te verversen en dan opnieuw kijken of er een startknop links onder in de video staat.

Gute Anleitung! Eine rechte Noppe muss aber nicht zwingend auf einem linken Untergrund sein, oder? Rechts auf rechts geht doch auch ...wie ist das bei der Anleitung 142-15 gedacht? Herzlichen Dank für die Rückmeldung

Hallo Coco, die Noppen können selbstverständlich auch auf glatt rechts gestricktem oder strukturiertem Hintergrund gearbeitet werden.
