Jak změřit hustotu úpletu - zkušební vzorek

Zkontrolovat hustotu úpletu a porovnat ji s údaji o zkušebním vzorku v návodu je důležité:

ujistíte se tak, že rozměry vašeho výrobku odpovídají rozměrům uvedeným v návodu. Před začátkem práce si proto vždy upleťte malý zkušební vzorek.

Je-li v návodu uvedeno, že hustota úpletu z dané příze na jehlicích č.5 má být 17 ok x 22 řad na 10 x 10 cm, nahodíme na jehlice č.5 20 ok a upleteme lícovým žerzejem 24 řad.

Na zkušební vzorek položíme pravítko a spočítáme si počet ok na 10 cm výšky i šířky. Pokud máme víc než 17 ok na 10 cm šířky, jsou oka příliš drobná. Zvolíme proto silnější jehlice. Pokud máme méně než 17 ok, jsou oka naopak moc velká a použijeme tedy jehlice slabší.

Jakmile přijdete na to, po jaké síle (tj. po jakém čísle) jehlic sáhnout, můžete se pustit do práce! Pamatujte si, že je vhodné kontrolovat hustotu pleteniny během práce opakovaně.

What is "wrong" if the stitches of the trial piece are 10cm wide (as they are supposed to be) but the rows indicated only reach up to 8cm? If I switch to a bigger sized needle, the stitches will be more than 10cm wide. The trial piece should be 14st by 16r but they are 14st by 20r. Should I just add rows to the pattern and work with the cm only?

Dear Clara, you will have to work more rows to get the finished measurements, for some patterns (raglan/round yokes) you might have to adjust by working more rounds on yoke to get the finished measurements. You will need also more yarn, make sure to get enough. Happy knitting!

I campioni devono essere lavati ed asciugati prima di contare i punti e le file dentro ai 10 cm? Grazie.

Buongiorno Kati, deve trattare il campione come il capo finale prima di prendere le misure. Buon lavoro!

Hoe weet ik hoeveel bollen wol moet kopen

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dag Yolanda,

Bovenaan bij de materialenlijst staat per maat aangegeven hoeveel gram je nodig hebt. (Het eerste getal geldt voor maat S, het tweede getal voor maat M, enzovoort). 1 bol weegt meestal 50 gram, maar let erop dat dit per garensoort verschillend kan zijn. Dus als er bijvoorbeeld 400 gram staat dan zou je 8 bollen nodig hebben als 1 bol 50 gram weegt.

Hola ! Quiero hacer este modelo. ( Lost in the Sky Top Talla M ) Las agujas recomendadas son 3mm y 2;5 para un total de 24 x 32 en la muestra .Para llegar a obtener esos puntos he tenido que hacer la muestra con agujas de 2mm . La pregunta es: que agujas debo usar para el cuello y el elástico ,ya que no hay una aguja de tamaño más pequeño que esté. Y los puntos al montar la labor son iguales en tallas S y M . Gracias por la ayuda

Odpověď DROPS Design

Hola Karen, en DROPS no tenemos agujas más pequeñas pero deberías poder encontrar agujas de 1.5mm que podrían servirte en este caso. ¿Has trabajado la muestra en redondo? Este patrón se trabaja en redondo y, normalmente, la muestra de ida y vuelta queda más floja (por el giro al lado revés) que la muestra en redondo. Por lo que a lo mejor puedes trabajar con una aguja de 2.5mm de esta manera. Los puntos de montaje pueden ser iguales en diferentes tallas, porque la circunferencia de la cabeza no varía tanto entre tamaños; más tarde los números de puntos variarán más cuando comiences a hacer aumentos para el canesú por ejemplo.

I need to get tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows to be 10cm but it’s measuring 3.5 inches. It’s using 4mm needles which way do I go because you can’t get 4.25 mm needles

23.01.2024 - 16:36

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Jennifer, which yarn and pattern are you working? Also, which is your complete gauge? Is it a 3.5 in square? Or is in 3.5 in in width or in height? Please indicate this information so that we may better help you. Happy knitting!

Thank you for your reply, what is the ‘rule of three’!

23.01.2024 - 08:24

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Juliet, rule of three is a type of mathematical calculation for guessing one value from others. Here is an example in this lesson: If 10 cm in width = 20 stitches in width, how many stitches are there in 1cm in width? 1 cm in width has (20stitches/10cm) = 2 stitches. This is more easily calculated when you write them out in a piece of paper. You can look for "rule of three mathematics" and it should show you other examples. Happy knitting!

I have knit 4 garnstudio patterns and I never seem to have the correct tension, I am always needing to go up 2 needle sizes to achieve correct tension which is making the knitting too loose. Could I use the suggested needles but work a larger size jumper if I worked out what size it would be? Not sure if the pattern would still work! Thank you 😊

22.01.2024 - 17:54

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Juliet, each person has a different personal gauge; you may work tighter than our designers, so your gauge will always be slightly tighter than the one indicated in the pattern and you will need larger needles each time. If you get the correct tension with larger needles, these shouldn't make the knitting too loose, because it should be the same tension as in the swatch. You can also work a larger size jumper if you calculate which one you can do with your gauge, using a rule of three. Happy knitting!

Kristine napsala:

Hi, I really find it difficult to figure out the kniting tension for 21 stitches - 40cm - 10x10. I am a total newbie and no idea where to start!

21.01.2024 - 10:19

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Kristine, which pattern are you working? 10x10 cm means that you should make a square that measures 10cm in height and width. With the numbers that you mention, it should be 21 stitches x 40 rows = 10x10cm. This means that, before starting the piece, you work a swatch that has 21 stitches and work 40 rows with 21 stitches (in stocking stitch or as specificied in the gauge) and it should measure 10x10cm. If it doesn't measure 10cm in width and height, then you change needle size, as specified in this lesson. Happy knitting!

Victoria napsala:

Hola! Hice la muestra y llegó a los 10 cm en la hilera 27, no en la 33. Deberé cambiar a una aguja 4,5mm?

19.01.2024 - 18:02

Odpověď DROPS Design

Hola Victoria, qué patrón estás trabajando? Normalmente, lo más importante es que el número de puntos en 10 cm (el ancho) sea correcto, el número de filas se puede ajustar a medida que trabajas. Pero depende del patrón utilizado. Si nos indicas el patrón que estás trabajando y tu tensión completa (cuántos puntos en 10 cm) podremos ayudarte más.

Please may I ask a question. As a total beginner, would it be possible to replace the twisted rib on pattern Visit Vienna, with regular rib. I understand I will lose the beautiful pattern feature. Thank you for your help.m

16.01.2024 - 09:13

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Tilly, sure, you can work regular rib K1,P1 if your like just note that it will then look somewhat different. Happy knitting!

I want to make the smallest size in this jumper. I have knitted a swatch for this pattern but I have 4 sts too many on the row (25) and 3 extra rows (31) to make 10 x 10 cm. I can’t find 4.25 circular needles anywhere online, so should i go up to 4.5? If so, should I do the rib using 4cm needles? I could do another swatch, but will i have enough wool to do a second one? Thank you

Answering... "Therefore, you need to use the main needle that is used for the specific pattern or most of it. For example, if you use a smaller needle for the rib and change to a larger needle for the rest of the piece, then the gauge is worked with the main, larger needle. If you could indicate to us which pattern you are working we may clarify which needle is used for the gauge" Thank you! I'm starting to knit December Bloom :-).

Marjatta napsala:

Hi, if you use two different sizes of needles (3,5 in round yoke, 4 in other parts), which one (3,5 or 4) does the knitting tension mean?

13.01.2024 - 19:31

Odpověď DROPS Design

Dear Marjatta, usually the gauge states which kind of stitch you are working (stocking stitch, garter stitch or even the specific chart). Therefore, you need to use the main needle that is used for the specific pattern or most of it. For example, if you use a smaller needle for the rib and change to a larger needle for the rest of the piece, then the gauge is worked with the main, larger needle. If you could indicate to us which pattern you are working we may clarify which needle is used for the gauge. Happy knitting!

Dear Denise, read more about changing yarns and alternatives here, as we don't know the yarn, you might have to request help from your yarn store. Note that our yarn are available around the world - see list of worldwide shipping stores here. Happy knitting!
