How to knit from the center and out

Keywords: circular needle, jumper, lace, square,

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. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Der bliver en markering ned midt i sidste felt når skifter fra ret til vrang eller omvendt på rundpinde, hvilket jeg ikke synes er pænt. Hvordan kan jeg afhjælpe det? 146-2

Hei Lilian. Litt usikker på hva du mener. Har du tittet på hjelpevideoen til denne genseren: Start med at strikke fra midten og ud. ? Får du samme markering ? mvh DROPS Design

Det er da langt nemmere når i strikker på så tykke pinde, meget svært på de pinde der skal bruges i opskriften.

Bonjour Mme Wolff, dans le modèle DROPS 120-22, on rabat les mailles des emmanchures en tricotant ainsi: tricotez jusqu'à 5 m avant le marqueur et rabattez 10 m (=5 m avant+5 m après le marqueur), répétez au 2ème marqueur et terminez le tour. Pour l'encolure, tricotez le rang jusqu'au niveau des mailles en attente, tournez et tricotez le rang suivant sur l'envers - voir aussi jersey en aller-retour sur aig. circ. Bon tricot!

Dear Mrs Thelian, Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people around the world, speaking different languages, many of whom do not understand English. We have therefore written instructions to accompany this video, and there is no sound to disturb while watching. To see the diagram to this video, please click on the related pattern. Enjoy!
