Hi! Good morning. I have the sleeves of this sweater so am almost done. Polaris is a thick yarn which make this sweater very heavy. It will be however very warm. Can I wash this on the wool program. It is impossible to wash this by hand per ball band instruction. Just knitting the sleeves make my shoulder hurts. Love this sweater though and do not want to damage it, but I must wash it som how. Thanks for all your help and responses to my many questions. Sharon

Hi Sharon, The recommendation for this yarn is hand-washing at max 30 degrees. You could try a cool machine wash, if hand washing is difficult. Always dry the garment flat and shape it while it is still wet. Good luck!

Hi\r\nWorking on the sleeves. Just checking to make sure that the increases on the sleeves are done every 4th row. Is my calculation correct? Thanks for your help. \r\nS

Dear Mrs Hunt, when working sleeves you will only decrease - read decrease tip - alternately at the beg and at the end of the row on every other row: first decrease at the end of the row, then on next row from RS decrease at the beg of the row and repeat these 2 decreases as many time as required in your size, so that the decrease will be worked on every 4th row at the beg/end of the row. Happy knitting!

Hi and good day. Thanks 🙏 for answering my previous question. I tried on my sweater and must admit that I like my sweaters longer. Is this doable without it affecting the overall sweater? How many more balls should I purchase. Thank you for your response . Sharon.

Hi Sharon, of course you can do it. Do not forget to increase 1 stitch after each marker thread every few centimetres. You will need at least 2 more balls of yarn but it depends on the total lenght of your sweater. Happy knitting!

Hi! Can I work the sleeves in the round? Can I work k2 tog on the right side and ssk on the left side. I hate sewing . Sharon
16.07.2023 kl. 08:20:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, yes, you could work them in the round. And yes, you could for ssk on the left side, just make sure that no holes are left in the sleeves. Happy knitting!

Hi Started the Cedar sweater and I have completed the first round of the chart A1 and A2 for Size XXL. I have 2 stitches left at the end of round one. Have I done something wrong her as I expected that there would be 4 stitches to complete the round. Please explain this and let me know what I should do to correct this. Thank you.

Dear Sharon, you have 42 initial stitches. Work A.1 and A.2 10 times (= 40 stitches) and A.1 once more (= 2 stitches). You will have 42 stitches and 10 increases. Happy knitting!

Hi! Got cold feet after my question about this sweater. I have the yarn so I have no choice. I was looking at the schematics and it seem if I make the size 52 I would get a finished size 60. Not what I want, however if I choose size 47 I would have a finished size of 51. Close enough? Am not sure about this and need some help not to redesign the sweater, but to avoid making a sweater that is way too big. Thanks for your help.

Dear Mrs Hunt, make first sure you have the correct tension so that you will have the finished measurements as in the chart, then take a similar garment you have and like the size and compare them to the ones in the chart, if you are between 2 sizes, choose the smaller one for a tighter fit and the larger one for a looser fit. read more here. Happy knitting!

Hi! Am preparing to make this sweater and I have a question. I am making size (xxl) which gives a finished size 52. My question so far relates to the diagram. Reading from left to write I would start A2 then A1, or should I start reading right to left in that case I would Start with A1 as stated in the pattern. What does the number 6 at the top indicates? Thanks for your response.\r\nSharon

Dear Mrs Hunt, the jumper is worked top down and the diagrams are read bottom up; this means you will read every round from the right towards the left and repeat (A.1, A.2) all the round. Each diagram (A.1 and A.2) starts with 2 sts and finish with 6 sts (you increase 4 sts in each diagram). Can this help? Happy knitting!

Would i cast on 136 sts to make a size 52? I hsve never made a sweater top down so there will be a few questions.
20.01.2022 kl. 12:04:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, in size S you will cast on 34 sts for neck edge; look at this lesson, it shows how to work a jumper top down (this one is worked with a circular yoke but the lesson may help you to understand how to work here from top down) and maybe also this lesson for the diagrams. Happy knitting!

Hello, It's my first time working with diagrams and I'm about to start the yoke for a size S. Tell me if got it right: now, on the first round I have to *knit 4, yarn over* until the end of the 34 stitches; then, on the second, round purl of the stitches; on the third round, *knit 2, yarn over, knit 3* until the end of the round and so on… And I'll repeat this sequence 8 times and then knit just A.1 diagram once. Thank you very much for your help!

Dear Bianca, you have to work A.1, A.2 in the round, this means on first round work: *A.1 (= K2), A.2 (= K2, YO)*, and repeat from *-*. On round 2 knit all stitches. On round 3, work: *A.1 (= K2, YO), A.2 (=K3)* and repeat from *-*. And continue like this following the diagrams. Happy knitting!
