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 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!

Hvorfor kaller dere dette rettstrikk? Detter er feil etter min mening! Dette er rillestrikk! Har nettopp kjøpt en oppskrift som henviste til deres forklaring!

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.

Square knitted in garter

We have several designs based on knitted squares. This is how you knit a square: Cast on 8 sts on double pointed needles. Distribute sts on 4 needles with 2 sts per needle. Knit a first round and at the same time insert a marker in the first stitch on every needle. Round 2: Knit the stitches with markers and purl remaining sts at the same time inc 1 st by making a yarn over on each side of each st with marker (= 8 inc per round). Round 3: Knit all sts, knit YO into back of loop to avoid holes. Repeat Round 2 and 3.

Garter on a few sts (round)

Sometimes our patterns tell you to work a number of rows in garter st on the middle sts with remaining sts in stockinette or pattern as before. This is how we do it when working in the round. The sts that are worked in garter are purled on every other round, and knitted on every other round, and the other sts are knitted on every round as before.

Circular needle - around in garter st

This is how you work garter stitch in the round on a circular needle. Purl one round, knit one round, purl one round and then knit one... repeat this for garter.

Start knitting from the center and out

Several of our most popular patterns (example 146-2, 148-1, 126-1, 150-11) 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. In this DROPS Video we show an example from pattern 146-2 on how to do so. REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see a pattern with this technique, go to: DROPS 146-2

Cast on - continental method

There are different methods to cast on. This one is the most common 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.

This video show you everything from cast on, knit your stitches back and forth, and to end your piece with bind off. Mastering these techniques is the start of many exciting projects as your first dish cloth, potholder or headband... When knitting all sts on every row, it's called garter stitch. The fabric looks the same on both sides, perfect for scarfs !
