Pattern Little Dancer, The cardigan says incl one edge stitch each side towards mid front. Confused! How many stitches in and is this a knit stitch
12.10.2024 - 16:09DROPS Design answered:
Dear Marjorie, you cast on the number of stitches indicated. In this number of stitches you already include the edge stitches in garter stitch (you don't need to add stitches for it). These edge stitches in garter stitch are always knitted (both from the right side and the wrong side). The edge stitches are located at the edge/side of the piece you are working, so they will be the first and last stitch in the row. You can click on the word "edge stitch" in the pattern for more information. Happy knitting!

Diamond rose pattern. I do not understand why I am removing 35 center stitches to a stitch holder and not working them in the pattern as I finish the pattern. “At the same time when the piece measures 22 inches slip the middle 35 stitches to a holder.” Is that 35 on the front and 35 on the back? I am still working pattern, so these stitches are eliminated from the pattern? Please advise.
10.10.2024 - 03:50DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lynn, these 35 stitches are slipped on a thread for neck on front piece, so work these stitches and slip them on a thread then continue working yoke as before but back and forth from neck - remember to continue raglan decreases and ad the same time cast off 2 sts at the beg of each row on each side (still from neck both from RS and from WS to get a symmetrical neck edge) 1 time then cast off 1 stitch at the beg of each row (from both RS and WS) until all raglan decreases are done. Happy knitting!

I am starting to work on Miles Away Crocheted Sweater and looking at the pattern diagram. Do I read the A.1, A.2 etc. from top to bottom? For example, A.1 has 5 cross signs with a star next to the last cross. Does it mean that it is a repetition of the same stitch in the same location each row? Also, what is 1 double crochet in double crochet? I am not experienced and find it hard to read the pattern. Thanks for your help!
04.10.2024 - 01:24DROPS Design answered:
Dear Bhuvana, read diagrams from bottom up, then work from RS: A.1 1 time, then repeat A.2 13 to 20 times (see your size), and finish with A.3; from WS work A.3, then repeat A.2 reading from the left towards the right and finish with A.1. Read more about crochet diagrams here. Happy crocheting!

Helloooooo, I can't understand Drops 249-6, Sunshine Trail Cardigan's patten. According to that, that's one of the first sentences of BODY part '7 stitches BAND WITH I-CORD – read description above, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* until there are 9 stitches left, knit 2 and 7 stitches BAND WITH I-CORD', but I don't know what is '7stitches BAND WITH I-CORD'. What is mean that here?
10.09.2024 - 15:59DROPS Design answered:
Dear Haewon, you will find at the very beginning of the pattern under EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: some more explanation on how work these 7 stitches, see under BANDS WITH I-CORD:. Happy knitting!

Question about Holly Jolly Steps. The graph is confusing as I'm not sure which way to read the graph. Do I do the sole first, or the top of the slipper first. I understand that it is done in the round.
14.08.2024 - 06:02DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Wallace, in this lesson we explain how to read diagrams, this means you will read diagrams from bottom up starting with sole then ending round with upper foot. Happy knitting!

I have a question regarding the Running Circles cardigan. In charts A.1 and A.2 on line 8 (counting from bottom) there are dark black diagonal lines (bottom left to top right) over 2 squares, 3 times. What is one meant to do here?
12.08.2024 - 19:47DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Hewson, this is the symbol you will find under 4th symbol of diagram key; ie work 8th row (wrong side) in A.2 as follows: K1, (YO, K2 tog)x3; and work A.1 as follows: (K2 tog, YO)x3, K1. Happy knitting!

Jag använde ett av era gratis stickmönster i våras som var av ett par vantar i garngrupp C. Detta mönster kan jag inte hitta längre, har ni tagit bort några stickmönster sedan i maj? Jag har nämligen inte stickat klart den andra vanten och skulle gärna vilja hur mönstret ser ut för att kunna färdigställa den. Jag kan skicka bilder på den färdiga vanten, men hittar ingen mejl man kan skicka till.
09.08.2024 - 17:20DROPS Design answered:
Hei Jenny. Vi har ikke tatt bort noen oppskrift. Men bruk vår søkemotor så vil den nok dukke opp. På fremsiden på vår hjemmesiden klikk på: Gratis mönster - Dam - Accessoarer - Vantar & Handskar. Deretter scroll ned til Filter og velg Garngrupp og deretter C. Håper du finner den der. Om ikke, prøv å beskriv hvordan vanten ser ut / farge på vanten fra bildet. mvh DROPS Design

I’m working on pattern 135-3 man’s Aran sweater. I’m confused with the instructions eventhough I’m an experienced knitter. I have 256 sts on circular kneedles. Patter says M2 12 sts M3 M4 M3 M1 52sts etc. total makes up 150? What am I doing wrong?
11.05.2024 - 17:51DROPS Design answered:
Dear Freda, remember that M.1, M.2, M.3 and M.4 are the charts, which you can find below. For size M you work as follows: M.2 3 times (=12 sts), M.3 (=8 sts), M.4 (=10 sts), M.3 (= 8 sts), M.1 over 52 sts (so 6 repeats and half of M.1), M.3, M.4, M.3 M.2 6 times (= 24 sts), M.3, M.4, M.3, M.1 6 and a half times (= 52 sts), M.3, M.4, M.3, M.2 3 times (= 12). This adds up to 256 sts. Happy knitting!

Dear Mrs Fujimoto, you have to work the 6 rows in A.1 a total of 4 times (= 24 rows with A.1 in total), every time you work A.1 you decrease 8 sts, you will then decrease a total of 32 sts after you have worked the 4 repeats in height. Happy knitting!
26.04.2024 - 08:03Diane T Fujimoto wrote:
I figured out how to do the A.1 pattern, and the pattern says do this 4 times. Since I am knitting in the round, do I knit a round in between the A.1 pattern row? It seems to me that I should, but the pattern only says to repeat the A.1 pattern for 4 rows. With a round in between or not?
24.04.2024 - 22:18DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Fujimoto, could you please tell us which pattern you are working on or just ask your question at the bottom of this pattern so that we can check together and help you further? Thanks for your comprehension.

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

Dear Mrs Scoble, for the hat you need 100 g = 2 balls same colour no 547 grey/brown mix/printed, this colour is now discontinued, but you will see similar colours DROPS Fabel in the schadecard. Find list of worldwide shipping DROPS Stores here. Happy knitting!
