How to make a tubular cast on

In this DROPS video we show how you make a tubular cast on.

Makes flexible and elastic edges perfect for the edge on a ribbed top down sock, ribbed cuff edges etc.
The white thread we use are waste yarn that we pull out later. After casting on, the sts with the white thread around are P sts. Knit the K sts, and lift the P sts with yarn in front of work. After 4 rows (more if thinner yarn) you pull out the waste yarn and continue in rib, now working both K and P sts.

Bonjour, merci pour votre réponse concernant les 2 premiers rangs : mais pour le montage en tubulaire pour aiguille circulaire ? Je dois avoir 84 m et on me dit qu’il fait un nombre impair. J’avoue que je suis un peu perdue. C’est mon premier pull en top down !

Bonjour Mme Vannetelbosch, dans votre cas, montez bien votre nombre de mailles (84) - si c'est plus simple pour vous, vous pouvez aussi monter vos mailles (83 = nombre impair) et tricoter en rangs comme dans la vidéo, puis joindre pour continuer en rond en montant 1 maille à la transition. Bon tricot!

Bonjour, j’essaie un pull top down. Les explications disent de monter 84 m. , faire 2 rgs au point tubulaire, puis continuer en côtes 1/1. Ne devrais-je pas faire le montage tubulaire ? Est-ce possible en circulaire ? Merci

Bonjour Mme Vannetelbosch , tout à fait, au 1er tour, vous tricotez ainsi *glissez 1 m à l'env (fil derrière), tricotez 1 m env*, puis au 2ème tour, *tricotez 1 m end, passez le fil devant et glissez 1 m à l'env,, repassez le fil derrière*. Autrement dit, tricotez d'abord seulement les mailles envers au 1er tour et tricotez seulement les mailles endroit au 2ème tour, attention à bien placez votre fil lorsque vous glissez 1 maille. Bon tricot!

Je recherche une technique similaire pour les côtes 2x2 Je ne trouve pas sur votre site, mais peut être que je ne cherche pas avec les bons mots. Merci d'avance Catherine

Bonjour. Est-ce que le montage tubulaire peut être appliquer au tricot circulaire ? Je ne comprend pas comment on pourrait démarrer. Merci pour vos vidéos et vos conseils. Catherine

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Catherine, vous pouvez tout à fait adapter cette technique pour le tricot en rond, essayez ainsi, en rond, ou bien tricotez les premiers tours en rangs et continuez ensuite en rond, vous pourrez alors fermer les rangs avec le fil de pelote du début. Bon tricot!

Is this technique only applicable on 1x1 rib? It sure looks that way, but it doesn't say so, neither in the video title nor in the description.

Dear Nelli, you can use this technique to cast on stitches that should be worked in ribbing K1/P1 - just work the first 4 rows as shown then continue working in rib K1/P1. Happy knitting!

Bony, Je vois qu’il y’a énormément de montage de mailles. Malheureusement dans toutes les explications drops on nous dit juste ,  « monter les mailles » du coup on monte à notre façon,qui n’ est pas toujours la meilleure.

Skal man slå op lige så mange løkker som man har tænkt sig at bruge? Og hvis man skal f.eks strikke strømper kan man så straks forbinde det i en cirkel på fire pinde?

Ja det stemmer, men det bedste er om du finder en strømpeopskrift og følger den. God fornøjelse!

How to cast on with 2 circular needles to get a looser cast on edge

In this DROPS video we show how you can cast on with two circular needles. We sometimes recommend this in our patterns to prevent the cast on edge being too tight. When you have cast on the required number of stitches, you pull out one circular needle and start to knit. In this video, we cast on with needle 7 and 8, and it is needle 8 that we pull out. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You will find patterns where this technique can be used by clicking on the pictures below.
