Hoi! Ik ben een complete leek, maar heb me tot doel gesteld een c2c deken te breien. Op de video lijkt het erop dat de eerste rij de naald van rechts naar links de steek in gaat, maar als ik naar de rij kijk waar er voor het eerst gemeerderd wordt, zie ik niet meer of de naald rechts of links de steek in gaat (ik hoop dat ik het een beetje duidelijk uitleg). Kunt u hier meer duidelijkheid in verschaffen? Hartelijk dank alvast!

On voit beaucoup les mains qui tricotent mais pas assez l'ouvrage alors on ne comprend pas à quel moment il faut arrêter les augmentations et diminuer sur chaque rang. Dommage

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Doume, ces indications dépendent de votre modèle, vous pouvez vous baser sur un modèle utilisant cette technique (cliquez sur une des vignettes sous la vidéo) - et vous trouverez les explications de ce type de couverture dans cette autre vidéo, mais, tout comme celle-ci, il faut vous référer aux explications pour savoir quand augmenter/diminuer. Bon tricot!
