Hästsko-fläta/kabel och hål/ horseshoe-braid/cable and hole

Andra testbiten på temat kabel/fläta i tunisisk virkning/krokning.
Följer samma princip som den blå testbiten med högervriden kabel i förra inlägget.

short instructions:

Chain 19 (20 total on hook)

I did 3 inbetweenrows, 2 prepairing for wtist rows, twistrow ... and then from the start again. Se below for explaination of the different rows.

the 'inbetween' rows: 1tks, 2tps, 12tks, 2tps, 1tks, 1endstitch

the 'preparing for twist' rows: tks, 2tps, 3tks, yo, 6tks, yo, 3tks, 2tps, 1tks, 1endstitch

the 'twistrow' (for horseshoe):  tks, 2tps, 3tks, put the three last loops that you picked up - onto another needle and hold the needle on the BACK of the work, continue and pick upp the next 3 TKS, put the 3loops on the needle back onto the hook, 3tks, put the three last loops that you picked up - onto another needle and hold the needle on the FRONT of the work, continue and pick upp the next 3 TKS, put the 3loops on the needle back onto the hook, 2tps, 1tks, 1endstitch

the 'twistrow for holes: this is made in two steps, the first is a twistrow as described for horseshoe, then make the inbetween and prepairing rows. when its time for the next twisting row just do as for the horseshoe twistrow but opposite... that meaning holding the first twists cableneedle to the front instead of to the back, and the second twist to the back instead of the front.

Högervriden kabel i krokning/ right-twisted cable in tunisian crochet

Nu har jag gjort min första kabel i krokning!


Under bilden kommer beskrivning, steg för steg, fast på engelska då jag saknar termerna på svenska. Jag lärde mig grunden från den här hemsidan som har både skriftligt och video: Cabled scarf

Test-biten nedan: 6mm virknål. De två första vridningarna skiljer sig smått från de två övre. Inför de två övre har jag i två varv använt mig av ett YarnOver i mitten för att underlätta vridningen.
Begrepp:
Return pass as normal - so its only the forward passes that are written below.
TKS = tunisian knit stitch
TPS = tunisian purl stitch
Endstitch = Endstitch as usual
YO = Yarn over

Chain 14.

Row 1: Foundation row: as usual (when all loops on hook there should be 15)

Row 2-4: TKS

Row 5-7: 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 6 TKS, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch.

Row 8 (twisting row): 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 3 TKS, put the three last loops that you picked up - onto another needle and hold the needle on the back of the work, continue and pick upp the next 3 TKS, put the 3loops on the needle back onto the hook, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch.

Row 9-11: 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 6 TKS, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch. 

Row 12: Twisting row - the same as row 8

Row 13-14: 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 6 TKS, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch.

Row 15: 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 3 TKS, YO, 3 TKS, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch.

Row 16: 2 TKS, 2 TPS, 3 TKS, YO, 3 TKS, 2 TPS, 1 TKS, Endstitch.(OBS! DO NOT work a stitch in the YO from previus row)

Row 17: Twisting row, same as row 8 Row

18-22: repeat row 13-17

Row 23-24: repeat row 13-14

Row 25-28: TKS

Row 29: Bind off.

Done!
