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?

DROPS 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.

DROPS 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

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Frau Bereuther, die Blenden Maschen sind in den 87 Maschen mitgezählt, dh die brauchen Sie nicht extra anzuschlagen. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

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 - 17:51

DROPS 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!

PAttern is Orange Zest- I wrote that in my first sent message.

25.04.2024 - 18:17

DROPS Design answered:

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!

Diane 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 - 22:18

DROPS 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

DROPS Design answered:

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!

Bonjour, je fais le châle 161-12. Vous écrivez : "Quand A.1-A.6 ont été tricotés 1 fois en hauteur, il y a suffisamment de place pour 2 motifs A.2/A.5 de plus, de chaque côté du châle. Quand les diagramme A.1-A.6 ont été tricotés 8 fois en hauteur au total, on a 305 m " Je ne comprends pas comment faire "de chaque coté A2/A5" ? Et après, où refaire A1-A6 ? Merci pour votre aide

10.04.2024 - 19:34

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Baud, lorsque vous avez tricoter les diagrammes 1 fois en hauteur, vous avez augmenté 8 mailles dans A.1, dans A.3, dans A.4 et dans A.6. Au rang suivant, répétez les diagrammes: A.1 pour commencer, répétez A.2 (vous avez maintenant suffisamment de mailles pour 2 motifs en plus en largeur), terminez par A.3 puis tricotez A.4, répétez A.5 comme le 1er côté et terminez par A.6. Bon tricot!

I’m new to crochet and am making pattern 89-6. In row 3 instructions it says “chain 3, 2 dc in same ch- loop, ch 1” I cannot figure out what that means. Where do you put your hook for those 2 dc? What is “the same chain loop”? If there’s a video showing that please direct me. Thank you

07.04.2024 - 13:57

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Fredi, the chain loop or space is the hole formed by 1 or various chain stitches. the 2 dc are both worked in the one chain loop/space from the previous round. They are both worked in the same chain space (not in separate ones for each dc). Happy crochetting!

Hallo, ich nochmal. Habe jetzt richtig weitergestrickt, aber in der Anleitung steht nichts vom Armausschnitt. Oder bin ich blind? ;-) Danke und liebe Grüße

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Marion, für die Armausschnitt wird der Rumpfteil nur verteilt, keine Maschen wird abgekettet. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Hallo, ich stricke gerade die Drops 6-1.‘ Muss ich da jeden Vorderteil extra stricken? Und den Rückenteil dann auch extra weiter stricken? Danke für die Hilfe LG Marion

20.03.2024 - 05:28

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Marion, stricken Sie die Baby-Jacke DROPS Baby 6-1 oder die Jacke für Kinder DROPS Children 6-1? In beiden Fälle werden Sie zuerst Rumpfteil stricken, dh von der unteren Kante bis zur Armausschnitt Vorderteile + Rückenteil in einem Stück stricken, dann wird jedes Teil separat gestrickt bis zum Schulter. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Bonjour Lors des diminutions des manches il est dit que lorsque le tricot mesure 7cms pour 44m il faut augmenter jusqu’à 12cms pour 48m ce qui fait 4 augmentations (2 de chaque côté) or il est impossible de totaliser 5cms en augmentant que 2 fois de chaque côté ! Ai-je raté quelque chose ? Merci pour votre réponse

17.03.2024 - 12:26

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Monier, pourriez-vous nous indiquer quel modèle vous tricotez? Ce sera ainsi plus facile pour nous de vérifier pour vous répondre, merci pour votre compréhension.
