How do i know what size S, M, L equals?
22.10.2023 - 21:30DROPS Design answered:
Hi Rose, You have the hip measurements for the shorts. As regards the bikini top, the cup sizes are very individual and you might like to check your cup-size against the knitting tension: 21 stitches and 28 rows =10 cm x 10 cm, adjusting with more or fewer stitches and rows if necessary. Hope this helps and happy knitting!

Finishing up the shorts, for the rib on the legs, do you advise using a smaller needle as in the waist? The pattern doesn't specify.
11.08.2023 - 13:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sarah, use any technique that will allow the edge to stay elastic, see for example this video where we show 3 different techniques to cast off loosely - and in this video we show how to cast off such a rib with an italian cast off. Happy finishing!

Working the rib waist on the shorts and 6" seems like too much. Is it meant to fold over? The picture looks like about 2.5"-3" at most. The top fits well!
12.07.2023 - 02:12DROPS Design answered:
Hi Sara, The pattern is for 6" rib waistband but you can of course work the waistband to the height you wish or fold it double. Happy knitting!

For the bikini top, where are the decreases done? From the picture, it looks like there are decreases on either side of the marker (size large, marker at 25 sts). Or are the 2 sts decreased always after the marker? Is it a k1psso decrease or k2tog decrease?
24.04.2023 - 04:31DROPS Design answered:
Hi Sara, The decreases are 1 stitch on each side of the marker - knit 2 together before the marker and slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over after the marker. Happy knitting!

Hur vet man hur många maskor man ska ha om man har storlek L?
20.02.2022 - 19:02DROPS Design answered:
Hei Sham. Tenker du på bikinitopp eller shorts? Under bikinitopp er det 3 størrelser og L er den du legger opp 92 masker, da kan du ut fra den oppgitt strikkefastheten finne ut av hvor mange cm det blir sånn ca. Strikk gjerne en prøvelapp der du sjekker din egen strikkefasthet. Under shorts er det 6 størrelser og der står det hva som tilsvarer hoftemål i oppskriften. mvh DROPS Design

Buongiorno, volevo chiedere se dopo la realizzazione questo bikini è adatto al bagno in mare/piscina... Grazie
02.07.2020 - 18:49DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Luisa. Il cotone può cedere un po' quando bagnato. Le consigliamo di realizzare un campione e lavarlo per valutare se poter indossare il costume anche per i bagni. Buon lavoro!

The instructions for the shorts say to work 15cm of rib, followed by 8 increases 2.5cm apart (8x2.5=20cm). From where are we supposed to measure the 33/34cm before dividing for legs and gusset? If it's from the start of the cast on, then we're already 35cm at this point.
16.06.2017 - 09:12DROPS Design answered:
Dear Eden, the dividing for legs is measured from cast-on edge, the inc are done on 15 cm, 17.5 cm, 20 cm, 22.5 cm, 25 cm, 27.5 cm, 30 cm and 32.5 cm (= 8x 2,5 cm). Happy knitting!
