Which is the left sleeve is it looking from the front or back of the garment? I am knitting a bottom up jumper in the round and I am not sure where to start my round now I have put my sleeves on to the needle with the body. Thank you

Dear Mrs Newitt, when we describe the left sleeve, it's the left sleeve when garment is worn - mayb you can tell us which pattern you are working on? It might be easier for us to check together with you and help you furthermore. Happy knitting!

Hello there, hopefully you can help me. I have a question about pattern #194-33. I have done the basic row which was 5dc skip one chain. Now I should start the diagram, row one.. ok.. 3 chains for A1, and then+ 2chains and skip one dc to start A2 ? or do I just do the 3 chains from A1, skip 1 dc and then repeat 5chains skip 2 dc to the end for A2? So basically I need help in the beginning and ending of the A2 part. Thank you!
16.11.2022 - 21:01DROPS Design answered:
Dear Marlies, you need the 3 chains for A.1 (= first stitch at the beg of row), then work A.2 starting with 2 chains - at the end of 2nd row, you will crochet the stitch in A.1 in the 3rd chain from beg of row 1. When working A.2 you will work (2 ch, skip 1 st, 1 sc in next st, 5 ch, skip 2 sts, 1 sc in next st, 2 ch, skip 1 st) and repeat from (to). Happy crocheting!

On pattern # 35-19, how is the off row (not the pattern row) worked? Purl across? Obviously, this is the 1st Drops pattern I've ever tried.
06.11.2022 - 15:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharron, all rows are explained in the pattern. The rows from the wrong side are worked opposite than seen in the diagram and read from left to right. The blank square is knitted from the RS and purled when working from the WS. The black square is purled from the RS and knitted when working from the WS. Happy knitting!

I'm just starting the Quartier latin tunic w 676 but am not recognising some of the symbols on the charts. Can you advise what the first to dashes mean on row 1 please...like this : thank you.
06.11.2022 - 12:56DROPS Design answered:
Dear Maura, which chart do you have problems with? It's better to ask in the comment section of the pattern so that we may answer more swiftly. You can check how to read crochet diagrams in the following lesson: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=69&cid=19. Happy crocheting!

Good day ,thank you so much for this beautiful pattern of the christening charming dress . I am on row 2 with dress and I am stucked . Referring to the chart the symbol * = this round described in text . I'm reading through crochet info no luck . I do know it's chain sts but how many ? And what is the đ simbolize. Thanking you , much appreciated Colleen
02.11.2022 - 12:59DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Groenewald, the star symbol (=1st symbol under diagram key) applies when you start to crochet the diagrams, ie start with row 1 and not with the row with a star, this row with a star just shows the stitches from previous row so that you know how/where to crochet the stitches on 1st row in the diagram (this applies to A.1A and A.2A.) Happy crocheting!

Hi Iâve just started the Mystic River and donât quite understand pattern. After first P row the next row is K3 M1 (9 stitches only) M2 (9 stitches only) M1 (9stiches only) M2 (9stiches only) M1 (9 only) K1 Then next row is the second line of pattern so all K or P. What does the star and arrows mean on M1?
29.10.2022 - 02:42DROPS Design answered:
Dear Kylie, in the front pieces, when you are finishing the piece, you adjust so that last row is the row marked with the arrow (then you insert a marker and finish the pieces as stated). The star marks the last row to be worked in the last repeat of M.1 for the back. can find them indicated in their respective sections of the pattern. Happy knitting!

I am working on 812 Seaman sweater. I am on sleeve. I am ready to start M2 diagram. I have 73 stitches on needles and the diagram is in increments of 12. This is making my pattern off by one stitch each row. I have knit it and pulled it out. The only resolution I can come up with is is to decrease by 1 to start with 72 stitches at this point. Can you offer an explanation why I would be starting with an odd number as indicated in pattern? I am very confused.
25.10.2022 - 16:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Browning, you should here place one repeat of M.2 on the upper side of the sleeve, ie center M.2 so that the stitch with the arrow in diagram will be the middle stitch on top of sleeve - this lesson explains how to do that - the pattern will not fit mid under sleeve, you will just have to work the new stitches when increasing mid under sleeve following the diagram (as en extention to the diagram both to the right (at the beg of the round) and to the left (at the end of the round). Happy knitting!

Hei Lejla. Gjelder dette jordbÊrluen i DROPS Baby 21-21? Det er 10 rekker i hÞyden i diagram M.1 og nÄr du har strikket diagram M.1 2 ganger i hÞyden, skal du starte Ä strikke M.1 igjen, men denne gangen strikker du bare 7 rekker av diagrammet (1. til og med 7. rekke).

Hola Cris, dependiendo de la talla, trabajas 3---10 puntos enanos sobre los puntos de la fila anterior (1ÂȘ sisa), trabajar 1 punto en cada uno de los siguientes 76---108 puntos y girar la labor. Quedan sin trabajar 3---10 puntos, que forman la segunda sisa. Las siguientes disminuciones para las sisas se hacen trabajando 2 puntos altos dobles juntos.

Rower by Drops, 174-15. Ik snap het patroon voor het boord niet. Ik heb 316 steken opgezet. Als ik het patroon volg, kom ik na de 1e herhaal sessie al op 301 steken uit. Ik houd dan nog 16 steken over voordat ik helemaal rond ben. Als ik het tweede gedeelte zou breien met een herhaalsessie komen er nog 187 steken bij = totaal 488 steken. Kunt u mij uitleg geven?
13.10.2022 - 14:22DROPS Design answered:
Dag Dieke,
Het is de bedoeling dat je hetgeen dat tussen haakjes staat 7 keer herhaalt, dus je herhaalt 3 recht, 3 averecht 7 keer. A.2a tt/m A.4a brei je 1 keer. Later volgt er nog een keer een herhaling van 3 recht, 3 averecht. En op het eind herhaal je nog één keer het hele verhaal wat tussen sterretjes staat. Als het goed is kom je op die manier wel op het juiste aantal steken.
