---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows. INCREASE/DECREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase/decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 50 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases/decreases to be done (e.g. 6) = 8.3. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 8th stitch. On next round work yarn over twisted to avoid hole. To decrease in this example knit approx. every 7th and 8th stitch together. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.8. See diagram for your size in A.2 and A.5. INCREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Work until 1 stitch remains before marker thread, 1 yarn over, knit 2 (marker thread is in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Front piece and back piece are worked back and forth on circular needle, bottom-up. Work back piece 8 cm = 3⅛" longer than front piece, and there is a vent in the side at the bottom. Work sleeves in the round on double pointed needles/a short circular needle. BACK PIECE: Cast on 104-112-120-128-144-152 stitches on circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Nepal. Purl 1 row from wrong side, then work as follows from right side: Work 3 stitches in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, repeat from *-* over the next 20-24-24-28-32-36 stitches, knit 2, A.1 (= 17 stitches), A.2 (see diagram for your size = 20-20-28-28-36-36 stitches), A.3 (= 17 stitches), * knit 2, purl 2 *, repeat from *-* over the next 20-24-24-28-32-36 stitches, knit 2, 3 stitches in garter stitch.

Buongiorno. Per la manica dice che si lavora dall'alto in basso, ma seguendo la spiegazione si capisce che è dal basso in alto, si inizia con 44 maglie...

I find it difficult to determine how you work out your size guide. Exactly what is XXXL? I love your patterns but am reluctant to try them because of this.
06.01.2020 - 21:58DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Keane, measure a similar garment you have and like the shape and compare these measurements with them on the chart, this way you will find the best matching size. Read more about measuring chart here. Happy knitting!

Un'altra domanda. Quando parla del collo, dice di riprendere " 100 - 120 maglie" per la taglia S quante ne devo riprendere?
05.01.2020 - 18:28DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Dea. Per la taglia S può riprendere 100 maglie. L’indicazione è comunque indicativa. Variazione di poche unità non compromettono il risultato finale. È però importante che siano in numero pari e divisibile per 4. Buon lavoro!

Mi trovo allo scollo e mi dice di mettere in attesa le maglie...devo lavorare le prime maglie sul ferro, poi mettere in attesa le maglie per il collo e poi lavorare le ultime maglie sul ferro ? Grazie.

Buongiorno Dea. Sì, può procedere come ha scritto. Buon lavoro!

Drops river rock205-17 a1 a3 have a black square- this is not a stitch, go directly to next symbol; I dont understand, a slipped stitch? or what. a1 a3 are 19 stitches not 17 a7 a8 are 10 stitches not 19 please clarify thank you
31.12.2019 - 21:03DROPS Design answered:
Dear Rachel, the black square is not a stitch, this means both diagrams are rib P2/K2. But then on next to last row, you are working a yarn over on 2 places = increase 2 stitches (there are now 19 sts) and then increasing a K2 to K3 on last row in A.1/A.3. Happy knitting!

Buonasera, ho trovato un errore nella legenda dei diagrammi. Gli ultimi sei quadratini con la diagonale verso destra dice "trasferire 2 maglie sul ferro ausiliario sul dietro del lavoro, 3 maglie diritto, 3 maglie diritto dal ferro ausiliario" , non sono 2 le maglie da trasferire, ma 3 altrimenti non si possono fare le 3 m dal ferro ausiliario. Grazie.

Buonasera, i diagrammi A7 e A8 dice che sono 19 maglie, ma contando i quadratini ne risultano 10, giusto?
