Ich habe dieses Muster in Runden gestrickt und wieder aufgezogen, es bildete sich ein Versatz bei den Farbwechseln bzw. Rundenübergängen. Ich wäre dankbar wenn mir da jemand einen guten Tipp geben könnte wie man dieses Problem in den Griff bekommt.\r\n\r\nliebe Grüße\r\nKerstin

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.
