  • How to pick up stitches along edge

    How to pick up stitches along edge


    In this DROPS video we show how you can pick up sts along the side of your work.

    Pick up sts along the cast on or bind off edge. Hold the yarn as if you would knit. Put your needle through every stitch, wrap yarn around the needle, and pull through.
    You could also use a crochet hook to grab the yarn, and then put the st on the needle.

  • How to crochet a chain stitch (ch)

    How to crochet a chain stitch (ch)


    In this DROPS video we show you how to crochet a chain stitch (ch).

    Hold the slip knot between your thumb and middle finger on the left hand. Move the hook under and over the yarn, with the yarn held in the hook. Pull the hook and the yarn back through the slip knot to form the first chain stitch. Keep going until you have the number of chains stated in your pattern. When counting stitches, do not count the stitch on the hook.

    It is easy to work too tight, first we show many chain stitchs after each other where we work correctly. When we pull the thread through the loop and got a new st we MUST get along the thickness on that is on the hook (in the video we take the new st far up the crochet hook so that you easily can see what we mean).

    Then we show how NOT to work a chain stitch. Here we work the new stitch only through and let the new st lie on the thin part of the hook instead of the thick part. We then get a chain st that gets shorter and the crochet tension will not be properly with patterns.

  • How to knit stripes in the round with no jog

    How to knit stripes in the round with no jog


    In this DROPS video we show how to knit stripes in the round without getting a jog in the transition.

    Change to the new color and knit one round. At the end of the first round with the new color, before knitting the first st on the next round, pick up the stitch from previous round below the stitch. Pick it up in the back loop as if to purl and put it onto the left needle. Knit the stitch together with the 1st st on the round and keep knitting. You will minimize getting a step from one round to next by using this technique.
    You can carry to other color along on the inside of the work. If the stripes are wide, you can twist the colors at the end of round on every 3 cm/ every 1 inch.

  • How to knit a cable with a cable needle

    How to knit a cable with a cable needle


    In this DROPS video we show how to knit a cable with a cable needle.

    When you make cables you switch positions of the stitches. The more stitches that are moved the wider cable.
    In the video we make a cable turning to the left, by putting the stitches to be moved on a cable needle in front of work. Next cable turn to the right and then the stitches are put on a cable needle behind the work. The stitches on each side of the cable are being purled on the RS and knit on WS. Then the cables that are worked in stockinette become more visible.
