How to knit the fan pattern in DROPS 165-29

In this DROPS video we show how to knit the fan pattern for the Alma shawl in DROPS 165-29. We begin with inserting the marker after the first 5 sts, and knitting first row on RS: K 1, 1 YO and K rest of row, turn piece.

Then we knit the FAN pattern. When fan is done (after 32 rows in total), we K back over all sts. To avoid holes in transitions between turns on fan, we slip yarn between each of the 16 sts twisted back on needle and K tog with st.

This shawl is made in DROPS Baby Merino, but in the video we knit with a thicker yarn, DROPS Snow.

Bonjour, Après mon éventail , j' attaque le rang 3 ? Le marqueur est tout de suite là , comment puis je tricoter jusqu'à 2 mailles avant le marqueur ? Merci de me dire ce que je n' ai pas compris . Merci pour tout .

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Michelle, le dernier rang de l'éventail se fait sur l'envers (tricotez toutes les m à l'end et suivez bien l'astuce pour éviter les trous entre les rangs raccourcis de l'éventail). Quand ce rang est fait, vous êtes de nouveau sur l'endroit et tricotez le rang 3. Bon tricot!

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Rolland, Nos vidéos sont muettes: nous sommes une compagnie active au niveau mondial et nos vidéos sont regardées par des internautes du monde entier, parlant des langues différentes, dont beaucoup ne comprennent pas le français. Suivez bien les explications du modèle indiquées dans le texte au-dessus de la vidéo tout en regardant comment faire. La façon de tenir le fil ne change pas la technique: les mailles tricotées sont toujours sur l'aiguille droite et les mailles à tricoter sur l'aiguille gauche. Bon tricot!

How to knit a hooded scarf, following DROPS pattern 253-61

In this DROPS video, we have already worked the hood (size L/XL) and placed the stitches on 2 stitch holders. We now show how to knit up stitches around the hood and work an I-cord cast-off until there are 2 stitches left on the row. These 2 stitches are placed on one of the stitch holders, while 2 stitches are picked up on the other side and placed on the second stitch holder. Read I-CORD CAST-OFF in the pattern text. Cut the strand. Place the stitches from one stitch holder back on the needles. Now we show you how to cast on stitches for the right-hand side of the scarf, work 1 row before knitting together the hood and scarf, starting mid-back. At the same time, you work I-cord edge stitches and moss stitch rib. Read the explanations in the pattern text, for I-CORD CAST-OFF, 2 I-CORD EDGE STITCHES, moss stitch rib and how the hood and scarf are joined. When all stitches are picked up from the hood (50 rows worked), the 2 stitches from the stitch holder are still separate and on the stitch holder (in the video they are placed on the needle). Knit these 2 stitches (in size S/M there are 3 stitches on the stitch holder, you then knit 1 and knit the other 2 stitches together). Then work back from the wrong side with 2 I-cord edge stitches, purl 2 together, work moss stitch rib until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and work 2 I-cord edge stitches. Read the explanation in the pattern text on how and where to cast off the scarf’s right-hand side. We show row 1 (from the right side) of the 8 first rows, then how to cast off on row 1 (from the right side). Now work the left-hand side of the scarf, then sew the cast-on edges on the right and left-hand sides of the scarf together mid-back, using grafting stitch. We use the yarns DROPS Daisy and DROPS Kid-Silk in the video, with the same colours and needle size as in the pattern.
