Bonjour Martine, Pour le crochet, il existe d'autres marqueurs "ouverts", ou vous pouvez utiliser un fil marqueur. Il existe une vidéo "Marqueur, fil" pour le tricot et vous trouverez sur le forum DROPS un tuto en images pour placer un fil marqueur au crochet.

How to turn 1 strand into 3 from the same ball of yarn

In this DROPS video we how to make 3 strands out of 1 single strand from a ball of yarn. 1. Make a simple loop (like the loop worked when you begin any crochet project) and pull it to approx. 2-3 cm = ¾"-1⅛" in length. 2. Thread the strand from the skein through this loop, creating a new loop of approx. 40-50 cm = 15¾"-19¾". 3. Lay this loop alongside the working strand, so 1 strand becomes 3 strands. 4. Knit or crochet using these 3 strands until there is approx. 2 cm = ¾" left. Repeat points 2 to 4.

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a cord with 2 strands / 2 colors. Place the strands together, but use your left index finger to hold the threads apart (let one strand (pink) lie at the top above the finger and let the other strand (light blue) lie at the bottom under the index finger) and make sure that the strands that are to be crocheted with are in the same order along the way. Work like this: * Take the hook over and around the light blue strand (2 loops on the hook), take the hook under and around the pink strand and pull the pink strand through both loops on the hook *, work from *-* to desired length. Cut the strands leaving 10 cm = 4" (used to fasten the cord), thread the pink strand through the last loop on the hook. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
