05.02.2012 - 15:44In the end it seems she's got 9-8-6-6 (which is a bit odd perhaps?)
12.12.2011 - 18:17In the end she's got 7-7-6-6 or am I wrong?? She started with 6-6-6-6. I love this site, but this is the only video I find it hard to understand. Greetings to all of you :-)
05.11.2011 - 13:51Hoi Paula. Er is ook 3 video's beschikbaar over hoe u steken kunt opnemen. U neemt de steken op langs de zijkanten van de hiel. Neem het aantal op zoals vermeldt wordt in het patroon. Succes.
15.09.2011 - 10:40Sokken worden in nederland anders gebreid dan hier in belgie.heb al sokken gebreid maar ben vergeten hoeveel steken je terug moet opnemen voor de hiel, niet de kleine hiel die heb ik gemaakt,maar begrijp niet hoe jullie de steken terug opnemen.vriendelijke groeten paula
