Ik ben bezig om bandjes met de krokodillensteek te maken. Ik moet 6 boogjes maken maar wat ik ook doe, het stekenaantal komt nooit uit. een meervoud van 6 voor 6 boogjes lijkt mij dan 36 steken te zijn + dan nog de 4 lossen. Maar dan houdt ik altijd 2 stokjes over. Ik heb geprobeerd met 6 steken meer en 6 steken minder maar hoe dan ook, ik houd 2 stokjes over. Hoe kan dat en wat doe ik verkeerd????
