Welches Patentmuster Video entspricht dem Modell Drops 96-23 ? Die deutsche Anleitung ist nicht die Gleiche wie in Französisch : muss man die Masche links abheben oder rechts? Wie werden der Umschlag und die abgehobene Masche zusammen gestrickt , rechts oder links auf der linken Seite? Die 2 ersten Zeilen vom Rücken sind nicht gleich beschrieben in Deutsch und in Französisch. Können Sie mir helfen? Danke.

DROPS Design :

Liebe Jeannine, in der original Anleitung von diesem Modell soll die Maschen rechts abgehoben werden (bei einer Hinreihe), bei der Rückreihen stricken Sie die abgehobene Masche + Umschlag links zusammen - und zwischen diesen Maschen stricken Sie 2 M kraus rechts. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Ik brei al jaren en het breien van mijn moeder geleerd die uit Oost Europa kwam. Ik heb bij het breien de draad ook over mijn linker gestrekte wijsvinger. Ook de Engelsen breien op die manier; er zijn tig manieren om te breien

Het is volstrekt onbegrijpelijk wat die vrouw in de video aan het doen is, met die draad omhoog aan haar linker wijsvinger! Eerst dacht ik dat ze dat alleen bij de patentsteek deed om het extra ingewikkeld te maken, maar nu wil ik de false patentsteek bestuderen en loop ik tegen dezelfde poespas op! Ga eens op you tube kijken hoe gewone stervelingen breien! Jammer hoor! Geweldige patronen en prachtige wol hoor, dat wel. Vrgr, Lenie

Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the right side. ROW 2 (from RS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second colour and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. ROW 3 (from WS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second colour, change to the main color, remember to twist the strands to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side, lift the edge stitches over to the right needle.
