Bonjour Julie, quand on tricote le dos et les devants d'un seul tenant, on procède effectivement ainsi. Bon tricot!

Graag wil ik het vest Model nr. ab-025 breien. Met een rondbreinaald vind ik niet prettig breien. Kan het ook op twee naalden en dan met naden?

J'ai acheté la laine pour faire le gilet 121 -6 et je viens de constater qu'il fallait des aiguilles circulaires, je n'en ai pas et platrèe ne peux me déplacer puis je les remplacer par des droites ou est impossible, je ne connaissais pas l'existence de ces aiguilles ni le pourquoi. merci de me renseigner

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Madame Kolman, cette veste se tricote en allers et retours sur aiguille circulaire. Vous pouvez tricoter sur aiguilles droites, mais vos mailles seront plus serrées, raison pour laquelle on utilise ici l'aiguille circulaire. Bon tricot !

Bonjour, c'est une excellente idée ces vidéos mais dommage que cela aille trop vite pour moi qui suis débutante dans le tricot circulaire je n'arrive pas à comprendre la technique, comment placer son fil autour des doigts et surtout comment faire pour former la boucle qui va former le point ??? mais merci pour tous ces conseils.

Bonjour Nadine, n'hésitez pas à cliquer sur le bouton pause autant de fois que nécessaire pour bien visualiser les mouvements. Et pour le jersey en rond, consulter l'autre vidéo : Aiguille circulaire - jersey en rond. Bon tricot !

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 !

Knit (K) - US/UK method

Time to knit: we start by learning how to knit stitches. We are knitting using the US / UK method. This means we are holding the yarn in our right hand and wrap it around the needle with our right hand...

The English method of purl stitches creates exactly the same stitch, but doing this you hold the working yarn in your right hand. Lay the yarn around the needle with your right hand.
