Bonjour et un grand merci pour votre travail d'utilité publique ! Est il possible de faire de plus petits picots ? Par ex. travailler sur 2 mailles au lieu de 4 pour créer une bordure latérale discrète qui va "enrichir" un point dentelle d'une étole (par ex.). Merci pour votre réponse et salutations

¿Porque en el video no se ve el marcador que nos hace poner en el 2 punto??? Con este videlo no se ve bien los puntos que al parecer vamos aumentando antes del marcador

DROPS Design :

Hola Mari Carmen. En este vídeo esta explicada una técnica que se utiliza en varios modelos, por lo que es un vídeo general y no específico de un modelo concreto. En estos modelos no siempre se utilizan marcapuntos, por lo que en el vídeo explicativo no se utilizaron, aunque puede que en tu modelo se utilicen.

Jeg ønsker å lage picotkant i begge ender av pinnen. Hvordan gjøres det?

DROPS Design :

Hej, Det gør du på samme måde når du er på den anden side af arbejdet. Picot-kanten kan gøre fra både retsiden og fra vrangen. God fornøjelse!

We have already worked a section of stockinette stitch in the round and begin the video by showing you how to pick up stitches from the wrong side as follows: Find the stitch which lies 2 rounds below the next stitch on the needle, pick up this stitch in the top loop (from the wrong side) and place it on the left needle. Knit together the stitch loop and the first stitch. Repeat to the end of the round. Then continue as described in the pattern, for example with rib or stockinette stitch.

At the end of each row work 2 edge stitches as follows: Work until there are 2 stitches left on the row, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with the strand in front, knit 1.

How to work a rib (knit 1, purl 1) around with circular needles

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches.
