Replace Symphony with Melody

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Hoffy, it will depend on the gauge. Compare the gauge asked in the pattern to the gauge with Melody (if you have a sample to try out) and see if it fits. If it doesn't, you could still try working the pattern but one size smaller (so that you can get the measurements for your size with less stitches). Happy knitting!

Dear Bonnie, it could be a typo and be slm, which means to slip the marker stitch. In case it doesn't seem like it, it would be easier to tell you the meaning if you could indicate to us the pattern number with the abbreviation; then we could check if it is or isn't a typo.

Dag Maddy,

Vermoedelijk komt nr 08 Petroleum van DROPS Melody het beste overeen, maar om het zeker te weten zou je het beste even bij een verkooppunt langs kunnen gaan om de garens te bekijken. Mocht dit niet mogelijk zijn, dan kun je je online verkooppunt ook vragen hoe het zit met terug sturen van bollen, mocht je de kleur niet mooi vinden.
