Your diagram M.1 instructions for the blackberry stitch is \"P1, 1YO, P1 and P3, pass 1st stitch over the last 2 sts, pass 2nd st over the last st. Your video instructions are K1, P1, K1 and P3 together. Which is the correct way to knit this?

Dear Sandy, blackberry sts can be worked different ways, you can make samples and use the one you feel better with - just remember to keep RS and WS as in the pattern. Happy knitting!

Kan er een video gemaakt worden met de "normale" manier van breien?

DROPS Design :

Hoi Anja. Welke manier bedoel je. Hier breien wij continentaal, bedoel je de Engelse manier?

DROPS Design :

Hoi Monique. Veel van de niet gekozen patronen worden later gepubliceerd onder onze "Extra patronen". Ik kan helaas niet zeggen of dit model komt en wanneer.

Het hangt er vanaf hoe je het leest, maar voor het duidelijke hadden ze beter het woordje "en" ipv een komma tussen 1 recht ,1 averecht, 1 recht uit een steek breien, neer kunen zetten want dan zou je zien dat je die 3 steken uit èèn steek moet breien en dan klopt het patroon wel.

Sorry maar de omschrijving van de bramensteek is niet goed. Je moet nog uit een steek drie steken maken. Zoals omschreven minder je op iedere naald teveel steken.

Volgens mij moet je ook steeds meerderen, zoals beschreven staat boven de video, die beschrijving staat overigens niet op het patroon

Prachtige steek, maak er n poncho mee. Maar heb een vraag: aantal steken per naald wordt steeds minder, wat ook klopt want je breit telkens 3 st samen. Komt dit wel goed? Moet een lap van 25 cm breed krijgen.

Alltid bra instruktionsfilmer. Men filmen gör inte mönstret på samma sätt som i de skrivna mönstret för Blueberry vilket bara gjorde mig ännu mer förvirrad. Jag förstår tekniken i både mönster och film, men gör jag exakt som det står blir det knas.

How to work a rib (knit 1, purl 1) around with circular needles

In this DROPS video we show how to work a rib with knit 1, purl 1 on circular needle. Working a rib gives an elastic piece that is great for cuffs and edges. Cast on a number of stitches that is divisible by 2, then put the circular needle “together” and start with knit 1 (the first stitch that was cast on), purl 1, knit 1, purl 1, etc. the entire round (you can also start with purl 1, knit 1, etc.). When the 2nd round starts knit 1, purl 1, knit 1, purl etc. It’s important that all knitted stitches comes above knitted stitches, and all purled stitches come above the purled stitches.
