Pick upp stitches sideways

Pick up sts along the side of your work. Hold the yarn as if you would knit.
Put your needle through the holes inside your edge stitch.
Wrap yarn around the needle, and pull through.
You could also use a crochet hook to grab the yarn, and then put the st on the needle.
If you have worked your edge sts every row e.g in garter as on this piece, every hole represents 1 row.
If you intend to knit stockinette on your new sts, typically you pick up 3 sts for every 4 rows, garter 2 sts for every 3 rows and rib 1 st in each hole.

Merci beaucoup d'avoir répondu à ma question, mais je n'ai pas de problemes pour cela, c'est seulement les explications du modèle 217 qui ne sont pas très claires. Et je me demande çomment va être la manche en redescendant jusqu'à 15 cm plus bas que la separation corps et manches pour relever les mailles ?

Bonjour Mme Bonhomme, elle sera comme sur la photo :) Lorsque vous avez mis les mailles des manches en attente, votre manche n'était pas terminée (pointillés dans le schéma), vous avez continué une petite partie de l'emmanchure en tricotant le dos/le devant séparément, c'est le long de cette partie que vous commencerez (par le bas = au niveau du marqueur placé à 12-13-14-15-16-17 cm depuis la division) à relever les mailles en remontant jusqu'à celles en attente, tricotez ensuite les mailles en attente et relevez les mailles jusqu'au marqueur de l'autre côté, le long des 12-13-14-15-16-17 cm. Bon tricot!

Für die Jacke aus der Anleitung 51-7 möchte ich nun - wie vorgesehen - den Krausrippenrand anstricken. Allerdings habe ich als Randmaschen Kettmaschen gestrickt. Nun ist mir der Text unter dem Video etwas unklar: Soll ich nun auf drei Maschen nur zwei Randmaschen aufhäkeln oder doch jede Masche? Beim Halsausschnitt des Tops hatte ich jede Masche aufgenommen. Können Sie mir hier bitte helfen?

DROPS Design :

Liebe Frau Mitteregger, es sind 3 Maschen auf 4 Reihe glatt rechts (oder auch Bündchen/Rippenmuster) gestrickt, und nicht über die Randmaschen, also die Maschen fassen Sie dann auf, so daß Sie jeweils 3 Maschen haben für 4 Reihen (eine Masche können Sie immer zwischen dei beiden Randmaschen in Kettmaschen auffassen). Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Kan u mij zeggen hoeveel steken ik ongeveer moet opnemen voor de mouwen als je ze direct aanbreid

DROPS Design :

Dag Maryse,

Dit staat meestal in het patroon aangegeven en het hangt ook af van de maat die je breit. Om dit voor jezelf uit te rekenen is de stekenverhouding een goede leidraad. Als je armsgat bijvoorbeeld rondom 40 cm meet en je hebt een steken verhouding van 17 steken is 10 cm in de breedte, dan zou je ongeveer (17x4=) 68 steken op moeten nemen.

Dzień dobry :). Chcę zrobić rękaw dżersejem, ale nie rozumiem zapisu nabrać 3 o. co 4 rzędy. Czy mam nabierać kolejno po jednym oczu aż będę miała 3 nabrane i czwarte zostawić puste i tak dalej? Jedyne co rozumiem, to zapis 1 oczko w każdy otwór. Przy dżerseju ile oczek w które otwory powinnam robić, żeby było dobrze. Bardzo proszę o pomoc.

DROPS Design :

Witaj Kasiu! Troszkę skorygowałam opis: trzeba nabrać nabrać 3 o. NA 4 rzędy, dokładnie jak na filmie: nabierasz 2 pierwsze oczko jedno za drugim (dziurka za dziurką z boku), następnie omijasz jedną dziurkę (1 rząd w robótce) i nabierasz oczko w kolejną dziurkę, itd. W ten sposób np. na 12 rzędów robótki będzie z brzegu nabranych 9 oczek. Powodzenia!

Takk for masse fine mønster. Nybegynner men Kjempegøy! Står litt fast... Jeg skal legge opp masker til ermer til en genser. Rettstrikning. Og der står det att oppleggsfrekvensen er 2m over 3 p noe jeg ikke forstår?! Ser forklaringen under videoen sier det samme "Om du ska sticka slätst på dina nya maskor så brukar man plocka upp 3 m per 4 varv, rätst 2 m per 3 varv och resår 1 m i varje varv/hål." Men plukker man opp flere masker i samme hull eller hva menes m dette?

Bonjour, Je dois au niveau d'une épaule pour tricoter la manche relever 6 mailles selon le schéma 2 mailles tous les 3 rangs. Je bloque....🙄 Merci de votre aide

23.04.2018 - 10:45

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Vigi, pour relever 2 m tous les 3 rangs, vous devez probablement procéder ainsi: *relevez 1 m dans chacun des 2 rangs suivants, sautez le rang suivant* et répétez de *-* - dans la vidéo, nous relevons 3 m le long de 4 rangs. Bon tricot!

Bonsoir. J\'aurais une question : vous dites relever 2 mailles sur 3 rangs pour tricoter du point mousse le long d\'un tricot en jersey, cela signifie 2 sur 3 espaces c\'est ça ? (Par rapport à la vidéo). D\'avance je vous remercie de vos lumières ☺

18.06.2017 - 18:49

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Dubois, c'est bien ça, si vous n'avez pas le bon nombre de mailles après les avoir relevées, vous pouvez toujours ajuster au rang/tour suivant en augmentant ou en diminuant des mailles à intervalles réguliers. Bon tricot!

How to knit up stitches for the neck to a sweater with European shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches around the neck to a sweater with a European shoulder, using a knitting needle or a crochet hook. Then follow the description in the pattern. There are many different ways to work a rib (e.g knit 1 / purl 1, knit 2 / purl 2, knit 1 twisted / 1 purl etc.). And you can work a single neck, double neck or a high neck. In this video we work a double neck with a rib worked like this: knit 2, purl 2, bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl and then fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches to one sleeve, working short rows, decrease under the sleeve, increase stitches before the rib, switch to smaller needle and a little bit of the bind off (knit over knit, and purl over purl). Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stockinette stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.

How to knit up stitches under sleeve

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up 1 stitch in each of the new stitches that was cast on under the sleeve. We knit 8 new stitches and put a marker (or a marker thread) in the middle of these stitches. In many patterns, you should decrease 1 stitch on each side of stitch of this marker (or marking thread). We use the yarn DROPS Snow in this video.

How to increase and how to pick up stitches to a thumb

In this DROPS video we show how to increase to a thumb and how to pick up stitches to a thumb, like it is done to the right wrist warmer thumb in DROPS 214-37. We increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over, on next round work yarn over twisted. We knit 1, purl 1 (= rib). Work the increased stitches in rib, i.e. knit the first stitch, purl 2nd stitch etc. We increase in every other round and show 5 rounds with increases and how they are worked on next round. Then we show how to pick up 6 new stitches behind the thumb. These wrist warmers are worked in DROPS Baby Merino, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the picture below.
