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!
