Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people speaking endless of different languages and many do not understand English. So since there is not a given language for us to use, we instead have written instructions to accompany the video, and then there is no sound to disturb while watching.

I do like your videos but could you please produce them using the "English" way of knitting, with the yarn in the right hand. The continental method of purl stitches is hard to follow. Thank you.

Bonjour, Avez-vous ce auto avec la technique de tricot à l'anglaise? Je ne comprends rien avec la méthode continentale? Merci

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Nathalie, nous n'avons que cette méthode; toutefois, c'est très simple de l'adapter si vous tricotez le fil dans la main droite - suivez le mouvement du fil sur l'aiguille droite et non celle du fil sur la main gauche: lorsque vous devez faire (1 jeté, glisser 1 m à l'env), mettez le fil devant votre ouvrage, glissez la m suivante à l'env, tricotez la mailles suivante comme indiquée (le fil va passer automatiquement par-dessus l'aiguille et former le jeté au-dessus de la maille glissée. Bon tricot!

Hei Hanna. Ettersom vi ikke har et slik skjerf i vårt sortiment, kan vi ikke gi et 100% nøyaktig svar. Men vil tippe ca 150 gram av hver farge. mvh DROPS design

Wat vreemd hoe er gebreid wordt, het omslaan is totaal anders dan ik gewend ben. Zal ergens anders moeten kijken want zo kom ik er niet uit.

Ik heb deze techniek wel 50 keer uitgeprobeerd, ook met beschrijvingen van andere bronnen, maar het lukt me niet op hetzelfde mooie resultaat te bekomen. Het trekt gewoon nergens op! Spijtig want ik had deze omslagdoek heel graag gemaakt.

How to work 2-colored English rib with second color in the edge and color change

In this DROPS video we show how to work 2-color English rib in stripes where it works with the second color on the edge stitches/band stitches and how to twist the strands together when changing colors. The edge stitches/band stitches works in garter stitches. ROW 1 (from RS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, switch to the main color, but twist the strands together to avoid holes and work English rib to the edge stitches on the other side. 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 color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. ROW 3 (from WS): Work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch with the second color, 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. Push the stitches back on the circular needle so the next row is also worked from the wrong side. ROW 4 (from WS): Lift the edge stitches over to the right needle, work English rib with the second color and work 5 edge stitches in garter stitch, turn. Repeat row 1- 4. We use the yarn DROPS Air in the video. You must also read a pattern using this technique as well as watch the video. You can find a pattern using this technique by clicking one the picture below.

The 2 rounds we shown in the video are round 2 and 3. ROUND 2 with colour Mauve: * Purl the yarn over and the slipped stitch together, 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl *, work from *-*. ROUND 3 with color green: * 1 yarn over, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, knit yarn over and slipped stitch together *, work from *-* (be careful; the last yarn over does not look like a yarn over, but the strand of color 2 is at the front of the piece; lay the strand over to make a yarn over).
