Turn and work back and forth for 4-2 rows. Cut and fasten the strand. Now work the shoulders and neck on the opposite side of the square: Insert 1 marker-thread on each side of the middle 6 or 7 double-crochet groups (neck).

Moi kysyisin tälläistä liittyen tohon puseroon, ett voiko sen virkata myös kahdella värillä L-kokoiseksi (sellain ett ottaa 500g yhtä väriä ja 500g toista väriä)? Kun tossa ohjeessa kerrotaan noi värit (joita oli aika paljon mun makuun) + se ett jos virkaan yhdellä värillä, niin ajattelin kysellä kans tälläistä ett voiko myös ton puseron tehdä kahdella värillä, ett se raidoitukseen tuli 2 väriä (esim. Liila ja tummansininen).

Kyllä, voit virkata puseron kahdella värillä. Hanki tällöin molempia värejä 500 grammaa.
16.06.2023 - 17:05Hi, I do not understand how to begin crocheting the bottom. I made 2 rows on the side, which ended with 3 dc around the chains and 1 dc in the beg/end '1dc' ... Where do I need to start the bottom? Sorry, but I just can't understand.
18.05.2023 - 17:51DROPS Design answered:
Dear Ingrid, start the bottom in the first dc worked on the side, then work A.2e (= 3 ch to replace 1st dc, 1 chain and skip the next row on the side), then work A.2b: work 3 dc around first row row, 1 chain, 3 dc around next row, 1 chain (2 repeats); and repeat A.2b as before to the end of the row finishing with 2 repeats of A.2b along the end of the rows on the side and end with A.2c ( 1 dc in the last st on the side). Happy crocheting!
19.05.2023 - 08:17Ich häkele den Pullover in Gr.M. und bin nun beim Punkt „Fertig stellen“ angekommen. Ich soll eigentlich die Nähte nun schließen. Aber an der Schulternaht sind auf dem Bild zwei weitere Reihen in mandarine und kirschblüte zusehen, bis die Schulternähte geschlossen werden. Diese sind in der Anleitung nicht erwähnt. Kann es sein, dass hier etwas fehlt? Oder habe ich etwas übersehen? LG

24.03.2023 - 13:31Buonasera, non riusciamo a capire come dobbiamo lavorare le strisce indicate a pag. 2 dopo tutta la serie di strisce colorate. Significa che dobbiamo fare solo delle strisce sul fondo? Oppure ai lati? Grazie

Buonasera Elena, a quale punto del lavoro sta facendo riferimento? Buon lavoro!
26.03.2023 - 22:18Bonjour je voudrais savoir si le diagramme A1est commun à toutes les tailles ou si on l'adapte: par exemple pour une taille S on ne fait pas toutes les rayures on mesure les 50CM préconisé dans le descriptif merci le modèle est très frais et très seventies pour le printemps qui arrive bientot
15.03.2023 - 13:01DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Flo, le diagramme A.1 est commun à toutes les tailles, il montre juste le début du carré, on continue ensuite le carré en répétant les derniers rangs du diagramme jusqu'à la hauteur indiquée pour la taille. En même temps, vous suivez les rayures dos & devant, à crocheter en rond, puis en rangs si besoin (pour les extensions). Bon crochet!
15.03.2023 - 13:44Merci pour ce magnifique modèle aux jolies couleurs, mon préféré
