DROPS Design "URSULA" using Domino Squares: Fascinating design - I want to do the HAT only, at this point Q1: Instructions seem to say 1 ball of grey, and 1 of brown. Is this correct? And which colour mix? Long or short? Is there a need for any plain colours? Q2: Is there anywhere in Australia or New Zealand where I can get this wool? Or USA? (Likely to be faster than from UK). Thanks Elaine Scoble

Bonjour, je fais le châle 161-12. Vous écrivez : "Quand A.1-A.6 ont été tricotés 1 fois en hauteur, il y a suffisamment de place pour 2 motifs A.2/A.5 de plus, de chaque côté du châle. Quand les diagramme A.1-A.6 ont été tricotés 8 fois en hauteur au total, on a 305 m " Je ne comprends pas comment faire "de chaque coté A2/A5" ? Et après, où refaire A1-A6 ? Merci pour votre aide

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Baud, lorsque vous avez tricoter les diagrammes 1 fois en hauteur, vous avez augmenté 8 mailles dans A.1, dans A.3, dans A.4 et dans A.6. Au rang suivant, répétez les diagrammes: A.1 pour commencer, répétez A.2 (vous avez maintenant suffisamment de mailles pour 2 motifs en plus en largeur), terminez par A.3 puis tricotez A.4, répétez A.5 comme le 1er côté et terminez par A.6. Bon tricot!

I’m new to crochet and am making pattern 89-6. In row 3 instructions it says “chain 3, 2 dc in same ch- loop, ch 1” I cannot figure out what that means. Where do you put your hook for those 2 dc? What is “the same chain loop”? If there’s a video showing that please direct me. Thank you

07.04.2024 - 13:57:

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Fredi, the chain loop or space is the hole formed by 1 or various chain stitches. the 2 dc are both worked in the one chain loop/space from the previous round. They are both worked in the same chain space (not in separate ones for each dc). Happy crochetting!

Hallo, ich nochmal. Habe jetzt richtig weitergestrickt, aber in der Anleitung steht nichts vom Armausschnitt. Oder bin ich blind? ;-) Danke und liebe Grüße

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Marion, für die Armausschnitt wird der Rumpfteil nur verteilt, keine Maschen wird abgekettet. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Hallo, ich stricke gerade die Drops 6-1.‘ Muss ich da jeden Vorderteil extra stricken? Und den Rückenteil dann auch extra weiter stricken? Danke für die Hilfe LG Marion

20.03.2024 - 05:28:

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Marion, stricken Sie die Baby-Jacke DROPS Baby 6-1 oder die Jacke für Kinder DROPS Children 6-1? In beiden Fälle werden Sie zuerst Rumpfteil stricken, dh von der unteren Kante bis zur Armausschnitt Vorderteile + Rückenteil in einem Stück stricken, dann wird jedes Teil separat gestrickt bis zum Schulter. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Bonjour Lors des diminutions des manches il est dit que lorsque le tricot mesure 7cms pour 44m il faut augmenter jusqu’à 12cms pour 48m ce qui fait 4 augmentations (2 de chaque côté) or il est impossible de totaliser 5cms en augmentant que 2 fois de chaque côté ! Ai-je raté quelque chose ? Merci pour votre réponse

17.03.2024 - 12:26:

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Monier, pourriez-vous nous indiquer quel modèle vous tricotez? Ce sera ainsi plus facile pour nous de vérifier pour vous répondre, merci pour votre compréhension.

I purchased 4 balls of drops karisma to make Diamond SKY. I’ve used nearly 2 balls already and only knitted 22 cms. It was the recommended quantity but obviously I don’t have sufficient. Unfortunately I can’t get more of the dye lot. If I change my tension will it go further or what pattern can I use instead. Thank you

04.03.2024 - 12:19:

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Shedden, make sure you are getting and keeping the correct tension as in the pattern, ie in width as well as in height, and adjust needle size if needed. If you change tension this might the finished measurements. You can ask different stores if they can help you with this dyelot if needed. Happy knitting!

Foggy Autumn Strikket genser i DROPS Air. Arbeidet strikkes ovenfra og ned med raglan. Hvordan strikke nedenfra og opp? Er det mulig? evt. hvor finner jeg denne oppskriften?

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Åshild. Den er kun skrevet ovenfra og ned, men du kan fint strikke den nedenifra og opp. Men du må selv skrive / regne det ut. mvh DROPS Design

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Åshild. Denne oppskriften er kun skrevet hvordan den strikkes ovenfra og ned. Mener du "Hvordan strikke ovenfra og ned" når du skriver "Hvordan strikke ovenfra og opp? " Da må du selv "konventere" oppskriften, det lar seg fint gjøre. Om du mener. "Hvordan strikke ovenfra og ned? Kan du ta en titt på TIPS & HJELP - DROPS LEKSJONER - TEKNIKKER- Hvordan strikke en genser ovenfra og ned. Eller ta en titt på hjelpevideoen: Hvordan strikke en genser ovenfra og ned. mvh DROPS Design

My question I submitted is for drops pattern 81-7

Nellie wrote:

For the sleeves, pattern reads bind off for sleeve cap at each side every other row, 4 sts 1 time. Does this mean 2 sts on bigenning and end of row, total of 4 sts, or 4 sts at bigenning and end of row total of 8 sts. Then bind off 2 sts at each side, again 2 sts at bigenning and end of row, total of 4 sts, or 1 sts at each side total of 2 sts….instructions are not clear…I need a response ASAP as I cannot proceed in completing the first sleeve.

27.02.2024 - 17:32:

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Nellie, you will cast off at the beginning of the rows only, this means to cast off 4 sts 1 time on each side you will cast off 4 sts at the beg of next 2 rows (1. from RS, 2. from WS),t hen cast off 2 sts at the beg of next 6 rows (3 times on each side). Then cast off 1 stitch at the beg of ext 0 (no cast off in first size)-2-4-8-10 rows, then cast off 2 sts at the beg of next 2 rows until sleeve measures 52-53 cm making sure you have cast off the same number of sts on each side, then cast off 3 sts at the beg of next 2 rows, and finally cast off remaining sts. Happy knitting!

Hi, love the pattern but am a bit confused with the instructions for the sleeve cap shaping. It seems to knit as a raglan shape rather than a square/ set in sleeve as per the diagram and the photograph. Is it me or are the instructions incorrect? Many thanks

24.02.2024 - 16:18:

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Tooley, could you please tell us which pattern you are working on or just ask your question at the bottom of the pattern you are working on? This might help you answering your question. Thanks for your comprehension.
