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.

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.

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.
