Mein Sohn studiert Physik und ich möchte ihm eine Kleinsche Mütze stricken (Kleinsche Flasche als Mütze). Leider gibt es diese Anleitungen nur auf Englisch. Da weder mein Verständnis der Kleinschen Flasche noch mein „Knitting English“ dafür ausreichen brauche ich deine Hilfe.
Wer kann mir eine Anleitung in eigenen Worten geben oder den folgenden Text übersetzen:
How to Knit a Klein Bottle
Begin by knitting a Möbius band, but knit about 20 rows and don’t cast off as you’re told near the end of the instructions. Transfer half of your stitches to a second circular needle. What you’re basically going to do is Kitchener (graft) the stitches on one needle to those on the other. If you look at a few-stitch-wide strip of your band, you can see how the loops at the top of two adjacent stitch-columns can be Kitchenered to the bottom of the loops at the bottom (and 1/2 stitch to the right or left) of these columns. If you just match those up and start, you’ll be fine. Now: this is tricky, for two reasons. (1) You have to do your Kitchener in a knit-purl sort of way, so that you get a consistent pattern instead of an obvious seam. Sorry, I can’t explain how to do that. I re-figure it out every time I do it. (2) There are those dang needles in the way. I usually pull the needles so that all the stitches are on the middle, skinny parts of the needles, then start Kitchener-ing, and then every 10-15 stitches, pull the needles out of the object a bit. You’ll Kitchener until you seem to have just a hole around another part of the Klein bottle left. Now you can cast off. As with a Möbius band, there are three tasks that remain: knit in the end of the yarn, get rid of the scrap yarn (if you used any), and knit in the beginning of the yarn. If I use scrap yarn, I usually have to cut it every 3 - 4 stitches or so. And, when knitting in the beginning of the yarn, look carefully at your stitches so that you don’t create a hole or piece of seam.
