Also, when I do the bobbles in round 5, the chain loops become very stretched, creating big holes. Is that normal? (4 bobbles are crocheted a single chain).

Re Round 5 of the crochet squares: my finished product comes out flat on on side, but fairly rounded on the opposite side (which is also the longest side). Should all sides be straight? Round 6: the single crochets don't logically align with what I crocheted in Round 5. I am wondering if I am making a mistake in Round 5 with the word "next". When it says "next" in Round 5, do we actually mean "skip one", or do we mean, "very next"? thanks

Dear Paula, at the end of round 5, 2 sides are the same widht, 1 is smaller and the last one is wider (see measures at the end of round 5). When it says "next ch-loop" eg,it means very next one,not skip one. Happy crocheting!

On round 5 of the crochet squares, am I going into the chain loops, or the actual chains of the loops? My bobbles are not working; they are flat and are making the work pucker.

Dear Paula, bobbles in round 5 are worked in ch-loops from round 4. This video could help you with the bobbles (just take care to make only 3 dc (US-Eng)instead of 4 in the video. Happy crocheting!

What am I doing wrong with my bobbles? They are laying flat, and the entire circle is puckering.

Très confortable, très agréable à porter. Seulement : le nombre de carrés indiqués s'est révélé trop grand pour mon ouvrage. J'ai donc un peu froncé derrière, d'où un très joli effet caraco et un petit revers formant col.

Ik heb alle onderdelen van het vestje gebreid (alles afgekant), de mouwen dichtgenaaid (m.b.v. jullie instructievideo) en wil nu het voor- en achterpand aan elkaar naaien. Ik kom er maar niet uit hoe dit nu moet. Ik heb de instructievideo voor het babymutsje gezien, moet dit net zo? Of heeft de techniek een bepaalde naam die ik als zoekterm kan gebruiken (Engels, Nederlands, Duits, het is mij om het even) om ergens instructies te kunnen vinden?

De instructievideo voor het mutsje heeft niets met dit patroon te doen. Onderaan dit zijn figuren van de twee delen: Fig 1 = achterpand en Fig 2 = voorpanden. U moet A aan A, B aan B en C aan C naaien. U moet doorgaan met de naad aan de zijkanten 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm open laten voor de armsgaten. Het is misschien makkelijker als u de delen plat op tafel neerlegt en vergelijk met de figuren of ga naar uw verkooppunt voor persoonlijke ondersteuning.

DROPS bolero in garter st with turns in ”Fabel” and border in crochet squares. Size S - XXXL.
DROPS 113-14 |
|
GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K all rows. TURNS: Work shortened rows to shape the bolero at the front. Work turns as follows: Row 1: Work 24-27-30-33-36-39 sts, turn piece. Row 2: Work all sts. Row 3: Work 21-24-27-30-33-36 sts, turn piece. Row 4: Work all sts. Row 5: Work 18-21-24-27-30-33 sts, turn piece. Row 6: Work all sts. Row 7: Work 15-18-21-24-27-30 sts, turn piece. Row 8: Work all sts. Continue like this with 3 less sts before each turn until you have worked 2 rows on the 3 first sts only. Now work 2 rows on all sts. Repeat from row 1 a total of 5 times. There are now 18-20-22-24-26-28 rows garter st towards mid front and 2 rows garter st towards the side and front piece now measures approx 20-22-24-27-29-31 cm / 8"-8¾"-9½"-10⅝"-11⅜"-12¼" towards mid front and 2 cm / ¾" towards the side. ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- BACK PIECE: Worked back and forth on needle. See fig.1. Cast on 68-78-88-98-110-122 sts on needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 with Fabel and work garter st – see above. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When piece measures 4 cm / 1½" continue as follows: SIZE S: Inc 1 st each side, repeat the inc on every 2.5 cm / ⅞" a total of 7 times = 82 sts. SIZE M: Inc 1 st each side, repeat the inc on every 3 cm / 1⅛" a total of 6 times = 90 sts. SIZE L: Inc 1 st each side, repeat the inc on every 5 cm / 2" a total of 3 times = 94 sts. SIZE XL: Inc 1 st each side, repeat the inc on every 5 cm / 2" a total of 3 times = 104 sts. SIZE XXL: No inc. SIZE XXXL: No inc. ALL SIZES: When piece measures 20-21-22-22-23-24 cm / 8"-8¼"-8¾"-8¾"-9"-9½" bind off the middle 22-24-22-26-26-32 sts for neck and complete each shoulder separately. Bind off at the beg of every row from neckline: 1 st 3 times = 27-30-33-36-39-42 sts left on shoulder. Bind off when piece measures 22-23-24-24-25-26 cm / 8¾"-9"-9½"-9½"-9¾"-10¼". FRONT PIECE: Worked from one shoulder towards the bottom edge, then across and up towards the other shoulder – see fig.2. Cast on 27-30-33-36-39-42 sts on needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 with Fabel. Work 21-22-23-23-24-25 cm / 8¼"-8¾"-9"-9"-9½"-9¾" garter st. Now continue with TURNS – see above. After TURNS work 28-32-36-41-46-51 cm / 11"-12½"-14¼"-16⅛"-18"-20" garter st and then work TURNS again the other side. Work 21-22-23-23-24-25 cm / 8¼"-8¾"-9"-9"-9½"-9¾" garter st and bind off. ASSEMBLY: Place back piece between side pieces on front piece. Fold the 2 side pieces on front piece towards the middle. Sew shoulder seams A to A and B to B in outer loops of sts, and sew C to C at bottom of back piece in the same way – continue the seam up along the sides so that armhole measures approx 18-19-20-21-22-23 cm / 7"-7½"-8"-8¼"-8 ¾"-9". CROCHET SQUARES: Explanation Bobble: 3 dc crochet tog: wait with the last pull-through until all 3 dc have been crochet, make a yarn over hook and pull yarn through all 4 sts on hook. Work 4 ch with crochet hook size 3.5 mm /E/4 and Fabel and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch. ROUND 1: 6 sc in ring. ROUND 2: 2 sc in each sc = 12 sc. ROUND 3: 2 dc in each sc (replace first dc with 3 ch), only crochet in the back loop of sts = 24 dc. ROUND 4: 4 ch, skip 1 dc, * 1 sc, 3 ch, skip 1 dc *, repeat from *-*, and finish with 1 sl st in first ch = 12 ch-loops ROUND 5: 4 ch, in first ch-loop crochet from *-* as follows: * 1 bobble - see above, 2 ch, 1 bobble, 4 ch, 1 bobble, 2 ch, 1 bobble *, 3 ch, 1 dc in dc between the next 2 ch-loops, 3 ch, in next ch-loop crochet from *-* as above, 4 ch, 1 dc in sc between the next 2 ch-loops, 4 ch, in next ch-loop crochet from *-* as above, 3 ch, 1 dc in sc between the next 2 ch-loops, 3 ch, in next ch-loop crochet from *-* as above, and finish with 1 ch and 1 sl st in third ch from beg of round. Two of the sides are now the same width, approx 6 cm / 2⅜", 1 is smaller, approx 5 cm / 2" and 1 is wider, approx 7 cm / 2¾". ROUND 6: Crochet sc’s in all ch-loops as follows: 1 sc in first ch-loop, 2 sc in next, 5 sc in next (= corner), then 2 sc, 3 sc, 3 sc, 2 sc, 5 sc (= corner), 2 sc, 4 sc, 4 sc, 2 sc, 5 sc (= corner), 2 sc, 3 sc, 3 sc, 2 sc, 5 sc (= corner), 2 sc and 1 sc in the last ch-loop, finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round. Cut the thread. Make approx 25-27-29-32-34-36 squares. Sew squares tog to a long row, edge to edge - place the squares so that all the shorter sides of squares are at the same side and all the longer sides at the opposite side in order the row becomes curved. Begin sewing the row to neckline mid back. Sew the shorter side to body piece, edge to edge. Continue down along one front piece, and along bottom edge to mid back. Beg mid back at neckline again and continue to mid back at bottom edge. If you need more/less squares, adjust this before sewing tog the squares mid back at bottom edge. SLEEVE: Worked back and forth on needle. Cast on 58-60-62-66-66-68 sts on needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 with Fabel. Work garter st. When piece measures 7 cm / 2¾" inc 1 st each side, and repeat the inc on every 3.5-3-2.5-2.5-2-2 cm / 1¼"-1⅛"-⅞"-⅞"-¾"-¾" a total of 9-10-12-12-14-15 times = 76-80-86-90-94-98 sts. When piece measures 37 cm / 14½" bind off 3 sts each side at the beg of every row until piece measures 40 cm / 15¾". Bind off remaining sts. Sew sleeve seams in outer loops of sts and set in sleeves. CROCHET BORDER: Crochet a border round the opening with crochet hook size 3.5 mm /E/4 and Cotton Viscose as follows – beg in the first square mid back at neckline: 1 sc in second st on square, * 1 picot (= 3 ch, 1 sc in first ch), skip 1 sc, 1 sc in next sc *, repeat from *-* (= 7 picots along each square + 1 in seam between each square) and finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round. Crochet a similar border round sleeve edges. |
