I have a question about the first row. It says " work from *-* until 3-5-7-5-5-3 chain stitches remain, skip 1 chain stitch and finish with 1 double crochet in each of the last 2-4-6-4-4-2 chain stitches" I don't understand what the numbers "3-5-7-5-5-3" and " 2-4-6-4-4-2" mean. I love this skirt and would like to make it, but I don't want to mess up the pattern because I don't understand. Thanks!

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Corrie, the pattern you are working on might be available in a total of 6 sizes (from S to XXXL or XS to XXL), so that each number refers to each size in the same order as in the header. If you work the first size, crochet until 3 chains remain and work 1 dc in each of the last 2 dc (skipping 1 chain). Happy crocheting!

Butterfly Heart - section with short rows. After completing A.5 to A.8 once vertically each section has increased in the number of stitches (A.5 to 10 sts A.6 & A.7 to 12 sts each and A.8 to 10sts). How do you repeat A.5 to A.8 vertically when row 1 only requires 6 sts per section?

Butterfly Heart - I’m struggling with the section with the short rows. I’ve worked the 8 rows of A.5 to A.8 once with the short rows started on row 7. After row 8 you go back and repeat A.5 to A.8 starting at row 1 but each section has grown in the number of stitches ( A.5 to 10 stitches, A.6 to 12 stitches, A.7 ob12 stitches and A.8 to 10 stitches. How do you handle row 1 of A.5 to A.8 when each section of row 1 only uses 6 stitches with 57 stitches in stockinette between A.6 & A.7?

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Barbara, work the new stitches in stocking stitch and work A.5/A.6 and A.7/A.8 over the 6 sts on each side of the corner, so that pattern will not be displaced. Happy knitting!

Dropp 208-15 har stickat oket gjort klart för ärmarna,har nu 228 maskor och ska sticka neråt,41cm från delning ska det före resåren ökas med 52 maskor det förstår inte jag ,blir inte det för stort då längst ner.

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Anita. Du øker med 52 masker og bytter til mindre pinne str. og da vil du få en penere overgang mellom bol og vrangbord, altså en vrangbord som ikke strammer (som man gjerne hadde på modeller på 80-tallet). Men om du ønsker en smalere vrangbord kan du bare bytte pinnestr og strikke vrangborden, men pass på å ha et maskeantall der vrangborden går opp i 2 rett +2 vrang. mvh DROPS Design

I am knitting drops 135-3. I have just started knitting the first round for the medium size. M.2 on the first 9-12-12sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.1 on the next 44-44-52-52 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.2 on the next 18-24-24-34 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.1 on the next 44-44-52-52 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.2 on the last 9-12-12-17 sts. If I follow this for the M size then the total of stitches knitted comes to 152 when the round = 256. I don’t understand how to knit M3,M4,M3, and M1 on the next 52st and not 34

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Bonner, size M is the 3rd size, this means you will work M.2 on the first 12 sts, M.3 (8 sts), M.4 (10 sts), M.3 (8 sts), M.1 on the next 52 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.2 on the next 24 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.1 on the next 52 sts, M.3, M.4, M.3, M.2 on the last 12 sts = 12+8+10+8+52+8+10+8+24+8+10+8+52+8+10+8+12= 256 sts. Happy knitting!

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Else. Ser ut som du har glemt å ta med diagram A.2, som skal strikke 4 ganger. Slik skal du strikke (i str. S & M): 7 stolpemasker i rille + A.1 over de neste 18 maskene + A.2 (7 masker) + A.3 over de neste 9 maskene + A.2 (7 masker) + A.3 over de neste 37 maskene + A.2 (7 masker) + A.3 over de neste 9 maskene + A.2 (7 masker) + A.3 over de neste 18 maskene, og avslutt med 7 stolpemasker i rille. Bare med tall blir det: 7+18+7+9+7+37+7+9+7+18+7=133 masker. mvh DROPS Design

Ich häkle das Modell 69-1, Größe S ist zu weit dafür habe ich keine 18cm in der Höhe! Verwende das Drops Safran Garn und eine 3er Häkelnadel

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Gertraud, Ihre Maschenprobe stimmt wahrscheinlich nicht, 12 Reihen Stäbchen sollen 10 cm messen, so bekommen Sie 22 Reihen = ca 18 cm. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Bonjour, j'ai regardé vos modèles, il y a beaucoup de choix et ils sont très sympas. Je souhaiterais crocheter un modèle de cardigan ou pull pour homme, en coton (blanc). Ce serait pour faire un cadeau à mon fils de 21 ans. Est ce que vous auriez ce genre de patron ? Merci dans tous les cas, Caroline Cattaneo 🙂

I am getting ready to Start Peach poncho and see reference to diagrams, M1, M2, etc. but I do not see a diagram or even a section in the pattern, Please respond so I will be successful in knitting this adorable poncho.

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Linda, there are no charts in this pattern. However, the markers are indicated as M-1, M-2 e.t.c. This is to indicate that it's the 1st marker in the round, the 2nd one, e.t.c. Happy knitting!

Hello, I am knitting the Aure DROPS 185-9. When I move the sleeves to the cable with the sweater and start decreasing, I notice that placing markers after 4 stiches place marker, the 90, 80, 112,80 .I end up with the cables closer to one sleeve more than the other. Tried compensate by dec. on that side but don’t know how it will affect the sweater. This is the second time I try to knit this pattern.

24.07.2023 - 21:40

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Nancy, first check that you have the correct amount of stitches for each piece ( 362 stitches in total). If the number is correct for each piece, then the cables should be symmetrical. The markers are correctly situated, in each transition between the body and sleeves. Then, you decrease on each side of each marker, so you will continue having the same proportion of stitches on each piece. Check how many stitches you have between each marker when the cables are displaced and tell us so that we can better know which part of the pattern is getting displaced and towards where. Happy knitting!

Stickar kofta 213-18 , när man stickar A1a i början och slutet av varvet så blir ju inte framkanten lika på höger och vänster då rapporten slutar med tre räta maskor ....eller??

24.07.2023 - 12:22

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Susanne. Beklager virkelig for sen tilbakemeldig (ferieavvikling). Du strikker bare A.1a over 2 pinner, og da felles det 1 maske hver gang A.1a strikkes og det har ingen stor betydning at de ikke er helt like i hver side. mvh DROPS Design

Buongiorno, ho iniziato a lavorare i pantaloncini DROPS 162-19, ho comprato il filato sul vostro sito. Il problema è che se seguo taglia S/M sono troppo stretti, se seguo taglia L, sono decisamente troppo grandi. Mi servirebbe una misura intermedia, tuttavia ho timore poi di perdermi nella parte dei diagrammi. Come posso fare? Le catenelle devono essere un multiplo di un numero? Chiedo cortesemente assistenza. Grazie. Anna

Buonasera Anna, ha provato a lavorare un campione e vedere se corrisponde a quello indicato? Per un'assistenza così personalizzata può rivolgersi al suo rivenditore DROPS di fiducia. Buon lavoro!

Hei Ulla Boleroen strikkes frem og tilbake og når du strikker etter diagrammene og du skal strikke etter ikonene med en sort sirkel strikkes det fra vrangen og disse maskene skal strikkes rett (altså rett fra vrangen). mvh DROPS Design

Bonjour pourriez vous me donner des explications concernant le short Elly May sur la partie "point fantaisie A1 - Ax" : il faut faire un tour de brides en alternant 3 brides, 5 brides et mettre des marqueurs entre les 3 brides-5 brides ? On a donc au total 224 brides ? Merci.

In 77-19 moet ik 4x1 steek meerderen aan beide zijden van de merkdraad. De steek moet in het telpatroon M1 mee gebreid worden. Het gebreide telpatroon staat dan toch niet meer mooi boven elkaar en verschuift dan toch? Ik hoor graag hoe ik de steek die ik heb gemeerderd mee ga breiden.

Pattern 174-14 How does A2 fit into sleeve/body transition. 1st 8 are p2,k1,p2,k1,p2 then next row k8. Knitting in round would make sleeves-back left pattern, front left plain, front right pattern, back right plain. How does this work, am I reading it right.

06.07.2023 - 16:53

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Willock, after joining the sleeves and the body stitches, there are transition stitches between the sleeves and the body, where we insert the stitch markers. We now mark 4 stitches before and after of each marker, where we will work A.2. The decreases for the yoke are worked before and after A.2. Start working on the left sleeve, then work the front piece, then the right sleeve and finish with the back piece. The start of the round will be in the transition between the back piece and the left sleeve. Happy knitting!

Bonjour Je voudrais savoir comment procéder pour faire les manches du modèle Spring bliss 162-5 Doit-on les crocheter avant et les coudre à la fin ou bien doit-on les reprendre sur le dos ? Également pour le devant est-ce qu'on les crochète séparément ou est-ce qu'ils sont crocheter avec le dos? Merci pour votre réponse Florence bourdelin

05.07.2023 - 18:01

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Bourdelin, les manches de ce modèle se crochètent à partir des emmanchures du gilet, de haut en bas et en allers et retours. Vous crochetez le 1er rang en commençant en bas de l'emmanchure dos (manche droite) ou devant (manche gauche) remontez jusqu'à l'épaule puis crochetez en descendant le long du devant droit (manche droite) ou du dos (manche gauche). Quand la manche est terminée, on fait la couture sous la manche. Bon crochet!

Co znaczy opis : Na wys. 23-24-25-26-27 cm przerobić 4 rzędy ściegiem francuskim ponad 6-7-8-9-10 oczkami z każdej strony (przerabiać pozostałe oczka dżersejem jak wcześniej). Opis w projekcie DROPS 78-15.

DROPS Design answered:

Witaj Małgosiu, opis oznacza że od wysokości swetra 23-24-25-26-27 cm (zależy od wykonywanego rozmiaru) będziesz przerabiać 6-7-8-9-10 oczek na początku i na końcu rzędu na prawo przez 4 rzędy; czyli będziesz przerabiać te oczka na prawo na prawej stronie robótki i na prawo na lewej stronie robótki. Często w naszych starszych wzorach jest to robione w miejscach, gdzie za chwilę mają być zamykane oczka np. na podkroje rękawów albo na dekolt. Pozdrawiamy!
