Leider fehlen in der Anleitung Reihen 109, 111, 113 und 115. Merkwürdig, dass niemand in den Bewertungen dazu sich äußert???

Babydecke
Eine ganz easy nachzuarbeitende Decke. Was mich besonders begeistert hat war, dass es das Zählmuster auch in genauer schriftlicher Maschenzahl gab. Endlich muss ich nicht mehr mühsam zählen, sondern kann flott stricken. Das Ergebnis ist wirklich bezaubernd!!!
