Wat een mooie steek! Hebt u ook een patroon van een trui (top down, in het rond) met deze steek?

DROPS Design :

Dag Els,

Goede vraag. Om eerlijk te zijn heb ik geen patroon van ons in mijn hoofd waarin deze steek gebruikt wordt. 🤷‍♀️

Vielen Dank für das ausführliche Video! Meine einzige Frage wäre nun nur, ob ich mehr Wolle einrechnen muss, also mehr Faden verbraucht wird als wenn man "normal" strickt?

23.09.2019 - 16:07

DROPS Design :

Liebe Greta, am besten stricken Sie zuerst Ihre Maschenprobe, so können Sie sich einbilden, wie hoch/breit für 10 cm sie wird, und die Garnmenge dann anpassen. Ihr DROPS Laden kann damit Ihnen gerne weiterhelfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Vorrei realizzare una copertina per bebè utilizzando il punto Blister check/Coin stitch. Quante maglie devo calcolare per una lunghezza di circa 60 centimetri, ferri circolari n°4, lana Baby Alpaca Silk. Leggendo le risposte in inglese, mi pare di capire: multipli di 4 + 1; ma il +1 è ogni 4 o in tutto il lavoro? Grazie e buona serata

16.10.2017 - 18:24

DROPS Design :

Buongiorno Maria Angela. Il punto viene lavorato su un numero di maglie divisibile per 4 e deve poi aggiungere 1 maglia. Quindi se p.es ripete il motivo 10 volte, il numero delle maglie sarà: 4x10 + 1 = 41 maglie. Buon lavoro!
