Estoy empezando un calentador de cuello en aguja circular, pero cuando uno los extremos me queda como un pequeño huequito, porque el primer punto no tiene como ajustar. Hay otra tecnica para evita este problemita, ademas cuando remato los ultimos punto me queda muy tenso como tendre que matar para que quede elastico y no apretado?? Cariños Lucia

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.
