Hi. I love this pattern but am really struggling with all the ‘ends’ to sew / weave in, so I think I am doing something wrong. If one ridge is two rows should I be knitting for A.1 two rows of off white and two rows blue lagoon, or one row of each. If it’s one row of each what is the best way to deal with all the yarn ends please.

Dear Bridget, you do not have to cut the yarn at every color-change, if you need to carry the non-used color for only a couple of rows, you can just carry it up at the next to the last stitch, you only need to make sure, you twist the yarns, Happy Knitting.

Liebes Drops-Team, ich möchte die Decke gerne in einem größeren Format stricken, z.b. 130 x 180 cm. Wieviel von jeder Farbe benötige ich ca? Die Streifen werde ich dann einfach jeweils wiederholen... Danke und viele Grüße

Liebe Frau Bauer, wir haben leider nur Erfahrung für diese Größe, Ihr DROPS Laden kann Ihnen aber gerne damit - auch per Mail oder Telefon - weiterhelfen. Viel Spaß beim Stricken!

Om de juiste stekenverhouding te krijgen, brei ik met een 3,5 mm breinaald. Heb ik nu meer garen nodig?
29.11.2024 - 13:58DROPS Design answered:
Dag Marianne,
Nee, als je een kleinere of grotere naalddikte nodig hebt om de stekenverhouding in het patroon te halen, dan heb je niet meer of minder garen nodig. De hoeveelheid garen blijft hetzelfde bij dezelfde stekenverhouding.

Bonjour si on prend le nombre de rang en rayures plus les 35 cm en naturel et en bleu obtient on la bonne dimension merci de me répondre cordialement
27.09.2024 - 01:57DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Caltero, les rayures sont à tricoter comme indiqué au début des explications, indépendamment de la largeur; pensez à consulter la vidéo indiquée dans la réponse précédente pour bien visualiser comment tricoter ce type de couverture, elle vous aidera sûrement. Bon tricot!

Je ne comprends pas la dimension pour les 85cm est-ce sur le côté le plus long pour les 135cm est ce pareil ? Merci de m'expliquer je suis un peu perdue cordialement
26.09.2024 - 19:50DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Caltero, les 85cm correspondent à la largeur de la couverture, quand l'ouvrage mesure 85 cm le long des côtés, vous allez arrêter d'augmenter de chaque côté pour maintenant tricoter la longueur (les 135 cm): vous diminuez en début de rang sur l'endroit et augmentez en fin de rang sur l'endroit, le nombre de mailles reste le même, continuez ainsi jusqu'à ce que la couverture mesure 135 cm. Cette vidéo devrait vous aider à comprendre comment se tricote ce type de couverture. Bon tricot!

Hallo, verstehe ich das richtig,dass ich die Zunahmen solange wiederholen muss,bis die 85 cm auf beiden Seiten erreicht sind? Wofür brauche ich dann die Abgabe der 35 cm? Bin etwas irritiert MfG S.Tanz
30.12.2022 - 18:49DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Tanz, also das Muster und die Streifen beginnen Sie wenn die Arbeit 35 cm auf beiden Seiten misst - aber die Zunahmen werden bis 85 cm wiederholt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Bonjour, Merci pour ce beau modèle..heureusement j'ai lu les questions, car j'allais me tromper et arrêter les augmentations à 35cm, ce qui n'est pas logique ! Pourriez-vous le corriger car je pense que l'explication porte à l'erreur . Merci

Dzień dobry. Chciałabym wykonać ten wzór, ale z dodaną drugą nitką Kid-Silk. Czy mogę prosić o dobór koloru/kolorów? Dziękuje i pozdrawiam.
14.06.2021 - 12:23DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Agnieszko, możliwości jest tutaj bez liku. Ja bym dodała kolor 25 albo 38 jeśli już (jeden kolor na cały). W sumie Kid-Silka trochę szkoda na kocyk. Zrobiłabym z niego jakiś ładny sweterek chmurkę (2 nitki razem). Ale oczywiście wybór należy do Ciebie. Koniecznie prześlij zdjęcia gotowych dzieł do naszej galerii albo wstaw na facebooku (grupa DROPS Workshop). Pozdrawiamy!

Hello, I have worked the pattern to 35cm and have started the striped pattern. Following your advice to Christina below I have stopped increasing and now both my edges are knitting up straight and not getting wider on one side as the photograph appears to do. I am using Drops Fabel and knitting to the tension suggested, yet my blanket does seam to be getting wider as In the photograph. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your help.
28.11.2020 - 17:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Karen, it looks llike the answer below was wrong - sorry for that, after the piece measures 35 cm you start stripes but you continue working as before (= increase on each side) until piece measures 85 cm (= width of piece) - this video might help you to understand how this kind of blankets are worked (remember to work the stripes as in the pattern). Happy knitting!

I’m sorry to bother you again, but I have another question. When the piece measures 85 cm I begin the decrease/increase. Does that 85 cm include the first 35 when I was increasing at the beginning, or is it 85 cm beyond the first 35? Thank you!
11.04.2020 - 18:50DROPS Design answered:
Dear Christina, 85 cm means from the beginning (includes the first 35). Happy knitting!
