Hallo, vielen Dank für die Anleitungen! Ein Problem habe ich: Wie vermeide ich beim krausrechts in Runden Stricken die Stufe am Rundenende, die wie eine unschön verschobene Naht aussieht? Viele freundliche Grüße

Liebe Christiane, den Faden am Ende der Reihe können Sie etwas fest ziehen, damit die letzte linke Masche an der gleichen Höhe wie die erste linke Masche der Runde liegt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Bonjour! Pourquoi doit on prendre 4 aiguilles pour tricoter les manches du modèle precious piper enfant?j aimerais les tricoter en aiguilles circulaires est ce possible? Et comment ?quelle est la différence? Merci!

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Soleil, on tricote les manches sur aiguilles doubles pointes en raison du petit nombre de mailles - vous pouvez également les tricoter avec une longue aiguille circulaire avec la technique dite du magic loop. Bon tricot!

Bonjour Hélène, toutes les vidéos de la vidéothèque sont toujours disponible à la lecture - pensez à vérifier vos paramètres et réglages, il s'agissait peut-être d'un bug passager. Bon tricot!

Le point présenté dans cette vidéo est un point jersey. Le point mousse se fait en tricotant tous les points sur tous les rangs à l'endroit, toutefois la technique reste la même. Merci pour vos explications.

Bonjour Mme Dignocourt, effectivement, pour tricoter du point mousse en allers-retours (en "rangs"), on tricote tous les rangs à l'endroit. Dans cette vidéo, nous montrons comment tricoter du point mousse en rond, et dans ce cas, on alterne 1 tour à l'end, 1 tour à l'env pour créer chaque côte mousse (l'équivalent de 2 rangs end). En tricotant tous les tours à l'end quand on tricote en rond, on obtient du jersey. Bon tricot!

Thanks for the helpful videos, they all play perfectly on my laptop with Vista. My Norwegian grandmother taught how to knit the Norwegian way when I was very young. It has been 25 years since I have knitted and these videos are helping me remember how to knit again. Thank you.

How to knit from the center and out

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit from the center of the piece and out. Here we use DROPS 146-2 as an example, but several of our most popular patterns starts in the center of the piece with a few stitches and double pointed needles. It's a bit tricky to get started but gets easier and easier as you increase. Make sure to use markers to show where the increases are made. Keep increasing and work your way out. As the piece grows you continue with a longer and longer circular needle to fit all stitches. You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow.

How to cast on with the continental method

There are different methods to cast on. In this DROPS video we show one of the most common methods that gives a firm but still elastic edge. It’s called the continental method. The cast on should be firm but not too hard. If you feel it becomes too tight you can use larger needles or cast on around two needles and then pull one needle out afterwards. Remember to use the correct needles when starting your knitting. You must read the pattern to be able to follow.
