We have already knitted a few rounds so you easy can see the pattern.

We start the video with:
ROUND 1: * K 2nd st on needle twisted behind first st (i.e. in back loop of st) 1st st is still on the needle, K 1st st, drop them off the needle *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remains on needle, K 1.
ROUND 2: K 1, drop it off the needle, * K 2nd st on needle, 1st st is still on the needle, K 1st st, drop them off the needle *, repeat from *-* the rest of round.
Repeat these 2 rounds.

Bonjour, je souhaite faire un bonnet avec ce point. Cependant, je voudrais des croises avec 2 mailles au lieu d'une seule comme sur la video. Je rencontre un soucis au niveau de la fin et du début de tour du 2eme rang. Pouvez vous me dire ce que je dois faire des 2 premières et 2 dernières mailles? Merci

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Sarah, quand on tricote en rond, à la fin du 1er tour, on termine par 1 m end (time code 3:30) - Au début du 2ème tour, on tricote 1 m end (time code 3:45) et on croise les mailles suivantes comme indiqué dans les explications et la vidéo jusqu'aux 2 dernières mailles du tour incluses (time code 6:59). Vous répétez ensuite les tours 1 et 2. Bon tricot!

Moet je hiervoor best een even aantal steken opzetten ?

12.09.2014 - 16:27

DROPS Design :

U hebt hiervoor een oneven aantal steken nodig, dus deelbaar door 2 plus 1 steek aan het einde van de eerste naald.

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.
