Cast on new sts at side of work

The video is showing two techniques of casting on new sts at the side of your work e.g. when we are knitting a front piece and sleeves in one, and cast on new sts each side for the sleeves. First we cast on with loops, which is the easiest. It creates a loose edge which is ok if it will be seamed afterward like a sleeve seam. The next method is cable cast on also called knitted cast on, which is a great way when you want a firm nice edge.

This video is attached to the warm Banjo dog vest. I am knitting the vest. The pattern says after you put the 10 stitches from the holder back on, "in addition up two stitches"... does that mean cast on two stitches like in the video? Or am I supposed to pick up two from the back part of the vest?

DROPS Design :

Dear Mrs Rubin, when you work under piece, slip the sts from st holder back on needle and pick up 2 sts in each side of the under piece, ie you pick up 2 sts behind (= at the back of) the 2 sts in garter st from over piece. Happy knitting!

Hej Super video. Dog vil jeg gerne vide om den sidste metode kan bruges til slut på en pind? Jeg vil gerne strikke er sjal og vil gerne strikke den med takker i siden. Men dette kræver at der bliver taget ud i begge sider på samme pind og den sidste metode giver en fin fast kant så håber den kan bruges både i starten og slutningen af en pind. Mvh Christina Leed

Dear Anthonia, that's the way sts will be cast on under sleeve, after slipping sts for sleeve on a st holder, ie at the beg of BODY part. Happy knitting!

En el patrón de mascota suzi aparecen estas instrucciones; \"al mismo tiempo, mon pts nuevos en cada lado, en vueltas alternas (es decir, al final de cada vta): 2 pts 2 veces y 1 pt 2-3-5 veces = 23-29-37 ptos\" Quiere decir que tengo que hacer este vídeo al principio y final de las vueltas impares?

Bonjour, Dans le modèle Vanilla Summer, je vais démarrer les manches. Toutefois, j'ai un doute pour le montage des 8 mailles sous la manche? Comment démarrer le fils? AVec les 8 mailles ou faut il tricoter 1 fois les mailles en attente avant de monter les 8 mailles? Merci de votre aide, Cordialement,

Bonjour Céline, dans ce modèle, on tricote d'abord les premières m puis on glisse les mailles de la 1ère manche en attente (sans les tricoter) et on monte les 8 m (dessous de la manche) à suivre des mailles tricotées, et on continue en tricotant les mailles suivantes, et on répète pour la 2ème manche. Cette vidéo montre comment tricoter un modèle basique en top-down, et comment monter les mailles sous la manche. Bon tricot!

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 = US 10,75 and US 11, and it is needle 8 = US 10,75 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.
