How can I get help with a DROPS pattern?

Each individual pattern contains a Comments section where you can post questions, get answers in your own language and also read what other knitters have commented on the pattern.

Any corrections made to a pattern after its publication will be displayed at the bottom of the pattern text, in red.

You can also find the corrections to all our patterns under Free Patterns > by Catalogue > Corrections, in the top menu.

In the Drops pattern, Rib Confetti Socks, in the Foot section, it says to “Continue with rib (with one edge stitch at each side) I cannot find any instructions on how or what an edge stitch is. Could you please clarify this for me? Thanks

DROPS Design answered:

Hello! An edge stitch is the outermost stitch on both sides of your knitting piece (ie, the first and the last stitch). Happy Knitting!

Question sur le patron # Celtic dancer slippers Dans la section Légende Diagramme quand c'est écrit "reprendre la m en attente et la tricotter à l'env/à l'end" est-ce que -à l'env/à l'end- ça veut dire de tricotter la m en attente à l'envers sur l'endroit et à l'endroit sur l'envers? merci

Bonjour Geneviève, tricotez cette maille en l'incorporant au point de riz entre les torsades, soit à l'endroit, soit à l'envers en fonction de la maille suivante/précédente. Bon tricot!

Drops Air 205-4 Model ai-216 str. M Jeg forstå ikke hvornår man skal tage ud i opskriften efter de første 70 masker? Kan opskriften ikke fås uden diagrammer og kun med tekst punkt for punkt? Er ikke vant til diagrammer og synes der er mange A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 og A8. Hvor kan jeg få hjælp? Hilsen Helle

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Helle. Er dessverre ikke mulighet til å omskrive en allerede publisert oppskrift. Vi kan hjelpe deg så godt vi kan, men da er det fint om man opplyser hvilken str. man strikker. Når du strikker etter diagram, sett maskemarkører mellom hvert diagram, så har du en bedre oversikt. Når du skal øke er det viktig å lese ØKETIPS. I denne oppskriften skal det økes ved å hekle 2 fastmasker i samme maske jevnt fordelt. mvh DROPS Design

On pattern 226-44. On increase rows pattern says increase 8 stitches I only am increasing 6 stitches? Not sure where the other two stitches are increased.

10.06.2025 - 06:10

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Linda, you will increase for the raglan 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with a marker => 8 sts increased for raglan and you will also increase 1 stitch on each front piece for V-neck so that you will sometimes increase even 10 sts: 8 for raglan and 2 for V-neck. Happy knitting!

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Desplats, dans cette vidéo, nous montrons comment tricoter les devants et le biais des épaules avec rangs raccourcis et comment monter les mailles de l'encolure dos pour terminer le dos, cela devrait pouvoir vous aider, notez de bien suivre le nombre de mailles indiqué pour votre taille (indépendamment de celui de la vidéo qui montre la technique). Bon tricot!

The Forest Dance dress in size 3/4: The stitch count does not align with the pattern. I start the A.1 chart with 78 stitches. On the 2nd row the pattern the stitches don't align. Pattern says there will be 208 stitches after pattern is complete, but there are only 88 with the marked increases. Such a mess!! Help!!!

03.05.2025 - 03:49

DROPS Design answered:

Dear David, you start with 84 stitches and then adjust after the rib to 78 stitches. Then you work A.1 13 times (check that you are using the right chart for your size), so you work A.1 (= 6 stitches in the first row, the lowest row in the chart) 13 times = 78 stitches. In each repeat of the chart you increase 10 stitches (see the yarn overs at the beginning/end of each chart row), but since you have 13 repeats you increase 130 stitches in total. 78+130 = 208 stitches after finishing A.1. The charts are read from right to left and from the bottom up. Happy knitting!

I am knitting Drops soft tweed cardigan. I'm knitting the sleeve. Could you please explain the following: When the work measures 47cm bind off 2 sts on each side of marker and knit the rest back and forth on the needle. I do not understand what back and forth on the needle means. Could you explain. Thank you.

27.04.2025 - 18:46

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Mrs Magee, could you please tell us which pattern you are working on? Maybe you could tell us either its name or its number. Feel also free to just ask the question using the form at the bottom of the pattern page. Thanks for your comprehension.

Hi, I'm knitting the Blue Horizon- men's knitted jumper. What does "cast off on every row from neck as follows: 2 sts 2 times, 1 sts 3 times" and "cast off 10 sts for diagonal shoulder at beg of next row from armhole 2 times"? I've attempted it but don't seem to have 16 sts left and the piece doesn't measure 70cm. I am knitting the large size. Some help with this would be appreciated as I cannot find videos anywhere explaining how to do these steps

06.04.2025 - 18:45

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Emma, when the cast off is indicated as "Nº of sts" X times, that means that you cast off that nº of sts for as many rows as times needed. In the first row that start from the neck edge cast off 2 sts. On the next row from the neck edge cast off 2 sts once more. On the next row from the neck edge cast off 1 stitch; work 2 more rows from the neck edge with 1 stitch cast off in each of them. For the shoulders, cast off 10 sts at the beginning of the row from the armhole. In the next row from the armhole cast off 10 sts again and continue the shoulders. Happy knitting!

Opskrift Drops 223-31. Jeg er nået op hvor der skal stikkes 4 pinde retstrikning hen over de to midtsider. Hvordan gør man det, det er jo midt på strikketøjet. mvh Birte

03.04.2025 - 12:01

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Birte. Det skal strikkes retstrik i hver side, ikke midtforan/midtbak. Du har satt 2 merketråder i arbeidet, 1 i hver side. Den ene siden er starten på omgangen, så når du skal strikke 4 pinner retstrik (i sidene) starter du med 5-7-7-10-12 (avhengig av hvilken str du strikker) retstrik, strikk A.1 til det er 5-7-7-10-12 masker før 2. merketråden, strikk 10-14-14-20-24 masker retstrikk. Strikk A.1 til det gjenstår 5-7-7-10-12 masker, strikk retstrik over disse maskene. Strikk totalt 4 pinner slik. mvh DROPS Design

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Inger. Ettersom det ikke er opplyst hvilken oppskrift det gjelder, får jeg ikke dobbeltsjekke hva som står i oppskriften. Men om det står fra oppleggskanten er det fra starten (slutten av oppleggskanten/ribben er ingen kant). mvh DROPS Design

Im trying to knit the rain runners pattern how many pointed needles do I need to use 3 or 4 ? How many stitches on each needle I’m trying to understand the pattern

04.02.2025 - 23:13

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Merien, we are used to use a set of 5 double pointed needles with stitches evenly distributed on 4 neeedles to work with the 5th one. If your number of stitches is not exactly divisible by 4 just make sure to adjust the most evenly possible, eventually following pattern/diagram to make it easier. Happy knitting!
