How to cast off from the wrong side
Casting off stitches from the wrong side of work while purling. When you no longer need these stitches for example when making armholes, necklines and shoulders.
It`s important that the cast off edge is not to loose or too tight.
You can also use thicker needles when casting off to make sure the cast off edge is elastic.
Fig. 1: Purl 2 stitches.
Fig. 2: You now have 2 stitches on you right needle. Insert left needle in the stitch on the far right on the right needle.
Fig. 3: Lift this stitch over the other stitch (first stitch on the needle). Now there is only 1 stitch on the right needle.
Fig. 4: Purl 1 more stitch.
Fig. 5: You now have 2 stitches on right needle.
Fig. 6: Insert left needle in the stitch on the far right on the right needle.
Fig. 7: Lift this stitch over the other stitch. Continue like this until you have cast off all the stitches you needed to cast off. Whenever you want you can continue knitting over the remaining stitches on the left needle. Or continue casting off like this over all stitches.
Fig. 8: You have 1 stitch on right needle, this is the last stitch in your work.

European shoulder (sleeve)
In this lesson we show you step-by-step how to pick up stitches for the sleeves, work short rows for the sleeve cap and how to decrease under the sleeve. We follow the pattern for a children’s jumper Sweet Peppermint (DROPS Children ) in size 2 years, but remember to follow the stitch numbers/increases for your chosen size!
At the bottom of the page you'll find a video which might be of help. as well as a form where you can ask our experts for help if you were to need it!
Let’s get started!
We have already worked the body and are now ready to work the sleeves.
We are working with 2 yarn qualities, DROPS Lima colour no. , sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk colour no 45, soft mint, using needle size 5 mm. We are using 1 strand of each quality, or the yarn and stitch number given in the pattern you are working on.
Lay the piece flat and insert 1 marker at the top of the armhole (NOTE! This is not where stitches were knitted up for the front piece but approx. 3 cm down the front piece, which is top of shoulder). The picture shows the back piece.
Use circular needle size 5 mm and 1 strand of each quality, start in the middle of the cast-on stitches
Luddig beskrivning..
"När arb mäter 56 (58) 60 (62)/60 (62) 64 (66) cm sätts de mittersta 24 (24) 26 (26).. m på en tråd för halsringn och var sida stickas för sig. Maska av ytterligare m för halsringn = 15 (17) 18 (19).. kvar för axel. Maska av när arb mäter 56(58)60(62) cm.."
Ett par frågor här nu:
1. Beskrivningen säger att jag ska sätta de mittersta 24 på en tråd när arbetet mäter 58 cm och att jag sedan ska maska av när det mäter 58 cm?! Feltryck tror ni eller hur ska jag tolka det?
2. "var sida stickas för sig". Innebär det att jag sätter den andra sidan på en strumpsticka el dyl när jag stickar den ena sidan?
3. "Maska av ytterligare m för halsringn.." Ska det tolkas som avmaskning av 3 på rätsidan, därefter 3 på avigsidan, sedan 2 på rätsidan och 2 på avigisidan?
Ja, det var väl det hela
7, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1. Exakt hur man ska tänka är lite knepigt att förklara. Det gäller att få en snygg och lagom rundning på ärmhålet. Samtidigt med den första avmaskningen stickar jag in en sytråd för att kunna mäta ärmhålsdjupet på ett enkelt sätt.
