Kan ik deze techniek gebruiken als vervanging voor een patroon met rondbreinaalden?

Hei, jeg hygger meg med Foggy Autumn genser strikke oppskrift (ovenfra og ned med raglan), men skjønner ikke hvorfor armene strikkes med settpinner. Kan jeg bruke (kort) rundpinne istedet?

Hei Cicilie. Det kan du fint gjøre, og så bytter du bare til settpinner når du har for få masker til å strikke med rundpinner. mvh DROPS Design

When I join in the round, my right side is on the inside and I have the wrong side of the knitting on the outside. What am I doing wrong?

DROPS Design :

Dear Amanda, if you have just started the jumper and it's the first round, you should just start working over the stitches on the previous round without turning the piece. You can see an example here: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=1778&lang=en (just without using a 2nd circular needle). On the other hand, if you were working in rows and then you join the piece remember to turn the piece before joining in the round if the last row was from the wrong side (so turn it towards the right side, as if to work the next row, but then join the piece). Happy knitting!

Gibt es eine Regel wie lang das Ende des Faden ist z.B. wenn das Stück 60cm breit werden soll ?

Lieber Herr Grabow, dieses Video erklärt eine einfache Methode, herauszufinden, wie viel Faden man benötigt, wenn man Maschen anschlägt (kontinentale Methode). Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Dear Mrs Ekblad, in this pattern you work the sleeves in the round either on double pointed needles as shown in the video or with a longer circular needle using magic loop technique. Happy knitting!

Je fais comme sur votre vidéo (mais ma laine est plus fine) mais je n'arrive pas à empêcher des "trous" au niveau des "angles" (ça marque un écart entre les mailles de début et de fin d'aiguille) auriez-vous un conseil pour empêcher ça et que le rendu soit nickel? merci d'avance

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Dide, vous pouvez essayer cette technique pour éviter un décalage entre la première et la dernière maille du tour, ou bien ajuster ce décalage au moment de rentrer votre fil, au choix. Bon tricot!

Buongiorno, ma quando si avvia il primo giro bisogna lavorarlo sempre a maglia rasata? Come bisogna fare se devo lavorare a coste o a grana di riso? Quando completo il primo giro, tra la prima è l'ultima maglia mi resta sempre un buco, come posso evitare che accada? Grazie mille

DROPS Design :

Buonasera Luisa, il primo giro andrà lavorato come indicato nel modello. Se le rimane un buco tra la prima e l'ultima maglia del giro alla prima giunzione, lo può sistemare quando nasconde le codine alla fine del lavoro. Buon lavoro!

How to cast on with 2 circular needles to get a looser cast on edge

In this DROPS video we show how you can cast on with two circular needles. We sometimes recommend this in our patterns to prevent the cast on edge being too tight. When you have cast on the required number of stitches, you pull out one circular needle and start to knit. In this video, we cast on with needle 7 and 8 = US 10,75 and US 11, and it is needle 8 = US 10,75 that we pull out. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You will find patterns where this technique can be used by clicking on the pictures below.

Italian cast on – knit 2 / purl 2 ribbing

In this DROPS video we show one way of Italian cast on, with knit 2, purl 2 ribbing. Start with a long thread end, the length depends on how many stitches are to be cast on. Hold the thread over the thumb and left index finger, insert the needle on the inside and from the back so that there is a cross = 1st stitch (= K). Take the needle over the back thread, up in the middle, under the front thread and up = 2nd stitch (P). Next stitch: Insert needle under first thread and up in the middle, over back thread and up (2nd K stitch). Continue like this with P and K to desired number of stitches, but should be able to divisible by 4 (+ 2 if required). Turn the piece and twist the threads twice. Work K over K and P over P, turn. Now start working the rib into K2, P2 as follows: * knit 1, slip the next 2 stitches to the right needle as to knit them together, then put them back on the left needle slipping the purl stitch first then the knit stitch (so that they are now “reversed), knit the next stitch, and purl the next 2 stitches *, and repeat from *-* to the end of the row. The method gives a very elastic result. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

Italian cast on with a stable edge - rib with 1 knit / 1 purl

In this DROPS video we show one way of Italian cast on with a stable edge, with 1 knit and 1 purl stitch. Start with a long thread end, the length depends on how many stitches are to be cast on. Hold the thread over the thumb and left index finger, insert the needle on the inside and from the back so that there is a cross = 1st stitch (K). Take the needle over the back thread, up in the middle, under the front thread and up = 2nd stitch (P). Next stitch: Insert needle under first thread and up in the middle, over back thread and up (K). Continue like this with P and K to desired number of stitches, finish with a P stitch. Turn the piece and twist the threads twice. Start 2nd row with K1, place the yarn in front of the needle and slip the P stitch over to the right needle as if to purl, K the next stitch. Place the yarn in front of the needle and slip the P stitch over to the right needle as if to purl, K the next stitch, continue like this the entire row, but P the last stitch, turn. K 1, place the yarn in front of the needle and slip the P stitch over to the right needle as if to purl, K the next stitch. Place the yarn in front of the needle and slip the P stitch over to the right needle as if to purl, K the next stitch, continue like this the entire row, but P the last stitch, turn. Continue with K over K and P over P. This method gives an elastic and nice result and a stable edge. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

How to cast on and bind off with double threads

In this DROPS video we show how to cast on and how to bind off with double yarn. In some of our patterns it is described that one should both cast on and bind off with double threads. We do this to get a nicer ending / a little more weight on the garment / more elastic / slightly loosely bind off, but everything depends on which yarn you work with. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You’ll find a pattern where you can use this technique by clicking on the picture below.
