On the size xl, how many stitches should row 13 have? I’m confused about if I’m increasing each row as before or increasing as in row 9. Thanks!
29.08.2024 - 04:04DROPS Design answered:
Dear Funkdame, you should work all rows from 10 to 13 with increases, following the sequence in row 9. You should increase 5 stitches evenly in each row, so in one row there will be one extra stitch before increasing compared to the previous row. After working 5 increase rows (9 to 13), you should have 25 increased stitches. Happy crochetting!

Pochopila jsem správně, že rukávy se přímo háčkují na průramky? A poté se rukáv háčkuje v kruhových řadách až na konec ? Trochu mne ale mate sešívání rukávů. Jak je to? Jinak jsem přední i zadní díl zvládla dobře. Děkuji za odpověď.
16.03.2024 - 21:18DROPS Design answered:
Milá Helen, ano - rukávy háčkujeme přímo na průramek. Dál ale háčkujeme rukáv v řadách (líc a rub), proto jej nakonec sešíváme. Šev je dobré začít u zápěstí, postupovat do podpaží a dále plynule přejít k sešívání trupu (= postranní šev). Hodně zdaru! Hana

I wuld love to attempt this, it is gorgeous. But if Inka is no longer available, what should I use? I do not want to use multiple strands of yarn, but I would like to keep the lovely colours. Thank you...Hilary
23.03.2023 - 03:11DROPS Design answered:
Hi Hilary, You can replace Drops Inka with Drops Andes, Snow or Wish and use the same quantities and stitch numbers as they are all in yarn group E. Drops Snow is the yarn with the most variety of colours. Happy crocheting!

Hi, I would like to make this this pattern DROPS 97-3, but can't find the Inka yarn anywhere, I've tried to work out what wool would work with this pattern from your find an alternative yarn section, but I don't understand it. Could you help or advise me on which type of wool to use please.
18.01.2022 - 11:55DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Parker, DROPS Inka is now discontinued correct, use our yarn converter to check alternatives; you might like for example use instead 2 strands DROPS Big Delight (2 strands yarn group C = 1 strand yarn group E as Inka was) - raed more about alternatives and possibilities here. Happy knitting!

I don’t understand this “ Repeat the inc with 1 more dc in dc before 2 dc in 1 dc (i.e. next round 1 dc in the next 3 dc etc)
24.11.2021 - 19:10DROPS Design answered:
Dear Monika, continue increasing 6 dc as before, ie on row 4 work: *2 dc in 1 dc, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc*, on 6th row work: *2 dc in 1 dc, 1 dc in eeach of the next 4 dc*, and so on, ie you work 1 more dc between every inc. Happy crocheting!

For size medium, after the 11th row with having 18 dc, it says to crochet 7 more rows while at the same time binding off. I reached 16 dc after crocheting 5 rows. But it says to crochet 7 rows. Where do I crochet the extra two rows? It states completed after reaching 16dc so I am confused. Am I to continue two more rows once I've reached 16dc? Thank you
03.07.2021 - 04:29DROPS Design answered:
Dear Angela, you crochet a total of 8 rows over the 18 dc (including the 11th row), and at the same time you will decrease 1 stitch towards neck 2 times = 2 rows with decrease = 16 sts remain. Happy crocheting!

Danke für die schnelle Antwort ! Jetzt verstehe ich, wie es gemeint ist. Das Rückenteil ist inzwischen schon fertig, da hatte ich keine Probleme mit der Anleitung. Nochmals danke und herzliche Grüße !

Sehr schönes Modell ! Beim Vorderteil habe ich eine Frage ab der 5.R. Wie ist das gemeint : Mit 1 Stb mehr zwischen "2 Stb in das Stb" ? 3 einzelne Stb anstelle 2 wie in der 4.R. ? Leider ist bei Grösse S nicht die Gesamtanzahl der Stb in der 9.R. angegeben bzw. bei den anderen Grössen in ab - und nicht aufsteigender Anzahl, was mich verwirrt. Hat sich da vielleicht ein Fehler eingeschlichen ? Können Sie mir bittehelfen ? Danke !!

Liebe Christine, bei der 5. Reihe häkeln Sie *2 Stb in das Stb, 1 Stb in jedes der nächsten 3 Stb*, bei der 6. Reihe * 2 Stb in das Stb, 1 Stb in jedes der nächsten 4 Stb*, dh immer ein Stb mehr zwischen die Zunahmen (= 2 Stb in das Stb), bis es 54 Stb in S sind = nach 9 Reihen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

This sweater is gorgeous! I saw a circle sweater like this in Annie’s Catalogue. It too had the circle design along the seam, but it was more Bo Ho looking with. Only one color. This is nice and bright for summer. Thank you!!
