Ik heb een vraag over het voorpand, vanaf de 5e toer. Moeten toeren 5 t/m 8 allen gehaakt worden in een patroon van 3 in 1 stk en 1 stk in de e.v. 3 stk? Ik meerder zo te veel. Hoeveel stokjes moet ik uiteindelijk bij toer 8 voor maat XL hebben: 54 of 48? Alvast bedankt voor een reactie.
29.12.2012 - 16:05DROPS Design answered:
Je meerdert zoals beschreven vanaf toer 5 tot en met 8 met 1 extra st tussen elke meerdering. Dus toer 5 is: 2 stk, 1 stk in de volgende 3 stk. Toer 6: 2 stk en 1 stk in de volgende 4 stk. en zo voort. Na toer 8 moet je dan 48 stk hebben op de toer. Het stond een beetje krom in het patroon. Dit is nu aangepast.
04.01.2013 - 16:51Hola, me encanto este diseno!!!! Quisiera saber si lo podrian publicar en castellano?? Muchas Gracias.
05.04.2010 - 00:51Back: When piece measures 56-60-62-67-71 cm [22”-23 5/8”-24 3/8”-26 3/8”-28”], then crochet 1 row with dc over the outermost 9-10-10-10-11 dc each side (=one extra row on dc on each shoulder. (neck line = 10-10-12-13-13 dc and they are not worked anymore). After 1 extra row of dc on each shoulder cut the thread, the piece measures approx. 58-62-64-69-73 cm [22 ¾”-24 3/8”-25 ¼”-27 1/8”-28 ¾”] up to the shoulder.
20.10.2008 - 05:05Help again...On the back piece, the piece measures 22". Then it says, "Crochet 1 row over the outermost 9 dc each side (neck line = 10 dc). Do I single crochet on 9, then dc on 10 stitches in center, then sc on last 9? Or do I dc on outermost 9 and leave the 10 in the center alone. I don't see a diagram for the back and I am not sure how the front neck pieces will fit into the assembly. Thanks!
19.10.2008 - 19:56Mid front is the side of your work that is towards your neck. start crocheting at the same row you just finished but at the other side - i.e not the armhole side. The 6 outermost sts are the 6 sts towards your neck, the part that will form the collar. Crochet 3 rows back and forward on these sts.
17.10.2008 - 04:54I am still not understanding where I start to crochet when it says "Begin to crochet at the centre front." Is it on top of the shoulder? Do I begin on the armhole side or the neck side and which direction to I go? Then, what is meant by "Crochet 3 rows of dc in each of the outermost 6 dc?" Help - I'd love to finish this sweater correctly!
17.10.2008 - 04:02I would like to crochet this pattern but does anyone know what the sizes measure. I need to make it for a 40" bust.
03.04.2008 - 02:06I just made one of these cardigans and it came out beautifully! I bought the yarn on Tuesday morning, and Thursday evening I finished the sweater. It's very quick to crochet! I love the way the underarm is shaped. In fact, there are many original aspects to the design, including the half rounds in front, and the collar. very cute!
07.12.2007 - 22:13Center front is the frontedge of the 15 tr (shoulder) that faces the neck. When you cut the thread you are in the other side of the work, the armhole side. Look at the chart at the bottom of the pattern, and you see on the drawing how the top shape is suppose to turn out.
12.11.2007 - 18:09Re: Drops Crochet cardigan in "inka" (size S) I am currently working on the front. I have completed the semi-cirle and the first section for size S which finishes with "at this point the crochet is completed up to the shoulder at the side armhole. Cut the thread." The next part "begin to crochet again at the centre front" WHERE AT THE CENTRE FRONT? WHICH DIRECTION? please help, Irene Australia
