How to make a tubular cast on

Video thumbnail for 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.

Mycket bra video. Den här uppläggningen kunde min mamma och den lärde hon mig. Jag använder alltid denna uppläggning vid resårstickning. Min mamma gick bort för 22 år sedan och hon stickade mycket och det gör jag med.

Video on hyvin selkeä, kuitenkin harva enää tekee kalvosimia??? tarkoittaisiko tuo kääntäjä rannekeita. Suurin tarve tuohon ohjeeseen on sukkien ja lapasten rannekkeet suljettuna neuleena. Viedo myös suljetun neuleen aloituksesta kiitos!

How to work a diagonal shoulder, cast on stitches for the neckline and work the back piece together

In this DROPS video, we show you how to work each front piece with diagonal shoulders and short rows, the piece is worked bottom up. Then we show how to increase stitches for the neckline and join the shoulders for the back piece, then continue working top down. An I-cord band is worked on each side. We have already worked one section of the front piece and decreased stitches for the neckline. The video shows how we work 6 short rows (German short rows) on the right front piece, creating a diagonal shoulder. Then we show how to increase 1 stitch 3 times towards the neckline, which is now the back piece. Then we show the same for the left shoulder and finally cast on 12 stitches between the shoulders before the shoulders are knitted together. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. This technique is used among other things in pattern DROPS 255-9, Driftwood Vest, with a different stitch count, number of short rows and cast-on stitches. You will find the pattern by clicking the picture below:

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.

Then we knit 4 rounds and on the next round we knit all stitches together 2 by 2. Then we work a rib (knit 1 twisted/purl 1). These socks are worked in DROPS Fabel, but in the video, we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.
