How to use a marking thread (MT) between two stitches
It's often a good idea to use a marking thread to mark where to make inc, or dec, the start of the round or the sides when working in the round on double pointed needles or circular needles etc.
You can let the thread follow your work and then just pull it out afterward. In our video we are inc 1 st each side of the marking thread.
You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

Hvordan hækler man med en mærketråd
04.10.2025 - 21:14Jeg kan ikke forstå at der ikke bliver taget ud - det ser jo ud som om der strikkes to masker på hver side af markeringstråden?? kan man brugre n markør på inden i stedet ?

Hei Merete. I denne videoen strikkes det 2 masker i 1 maske på hver side av merketråden = det økes med 2 masker. Men hovedmålet med videoen er hvordan man kan bruke en merketråd. Man øker / feller slik det står i den oppskriften man strikker etter. Man kan fint bruke maskemarkører istedenfor en merketråd. mvh DROPS Design
