Liebe Frau Schülli, es ist ja nur in kleiner Rapport und Sie müssen tatsächlich darauf achten, dass das Muster sich nicht verschiebt. Wir werden das Videoteam bitten, einen weiteren Instruktionsvideo dazu zu erstellen.

In this DROPS video we show you how to work a textured edge on the right side of the piece. We have already worked a section of stockinette stitch in the round and begin the video by showing you how to pick up stitches from the wrong side as follows: Find the stitch which lies 2 rounds below the next stitch on the needle, pick up this stitch in the top loop (from the wrong side) and place it on the left needle. Knit together the stitch loop and the first stitch. Repeat to the end of the round. Then continue as described in the pattern, for example with rib or stockinette stitch.

For example edges to a jacket. EDGE STITCHES: At the beginning of each row work 2 edge stitches as follows: Slip 1 stitch purl-wise with the strand in front, knit 1. At the end of each row work 2 edge stitches as follows: Work until there are 2 stitches left on the row, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with the strand in front, knit 1.

How to work a rib (knit 1, purl 1) around with circular needles

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You will find patterns where this technique can be used by clicking on the picture below.
