------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): Knit all rows. 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. DECREASE TIP-1 (evenly spaced): To work out how to decrease evenly, count the total number of stitches on needle (e.g. 75 stitches) minus the edge stitches (e.g. 2 stitches) and divide the remaining stitches by the number of decreases to be made (e.g. 20) = 3.7. In this example decrease by knitting together alternately each 2nd and 3rd stitch and each 3rd and 4th stitch (approx.). Do not decrease the edge stitches. DECREASE TIP-2 (for sweater): All decreases are worked from the right side! BEFORE NECK: Work until there are 6 stitches left before the neck, knit 2 together, knit 4 (= 1 stitch decreased). AFTER NECK: Knit 4, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (1 stitch decreased). INCREASE TIP (for sleeves on the sweater): All increases are worked from the right side! Work 1 edge stitch, 1 yarn over, work until there is 1 stitch left, 1 yarn over and 1 edge stitch. On the next row purl the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. BINDING-OFF TIP: To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as binding off; the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches. DOUBLE STRAND TIP (for hat): When working with 2 strands from 1 ball, use the strand from both the inside and the outside of the ball. DECREASE TIP-3 (for hat): Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased). Decrease like this at all markers. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEATER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth in sections bottom up and then sewn together. The neck is worked to finish. BACK PIECE: Cast on 69-75-81-87-97-107 stitches with circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands). Purl 1 row from the wrong side, then work as follows: 1 edge stitch in GARTER STITCH – read description above, rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there are 2 stitches left, knit 1 and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. Continue this rib back and forth for 12 cm = 4¾". Knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 18-20-22-22-26-28 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE TIP-1, and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row = 52-56-60-66-72-80 stitch. Change to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11. Purl 1 row from the wrong side and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row = 53-57-61-67-73-81 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the piece measures 41-42-43-44-45-46 cm = 16⅛"-16½"-17"-17¼"-17¾"-18", bind off 1-1-2-4-6-8 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows for the armholes = 51-55-57-59-61-65 stitches. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the piece measures 58-60-62-64-66-68 cm = 22¾"-23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾", bind off the middle 17-17-19-19-21-21 stitches for the neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side, and bind off 1 stitch on the next row from the neck = 16-18-18-19-19-21 stitches on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm = 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½". Bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other shoulder in the same way. FRONT PIECE: Cast on and work in the same way as the back piece until the piece measures 52-54-54-56-56-58 cm = 20½"-21¼"-21¼"-22"-22"-22¾" – adjust so the next row is from the right side (= 51-55-57-59-61-65 stitches on the needle). Place the middle 11 stitches on a thread for the neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side, and decrease 1 stitch by the neck on each row from the right side 4-4-5-5-6-6 times – read DECREASE TIP-2 = 16-18-18-19-19-21 stitches on the shoulder. Continue working until the piece measures 60-62-64-66-68-70 cm = 23⅝"-24⅜"-25¼"-26"-26¾"-27½". Bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other shoulder in the same way. SLEEVES: Cast on 44-44-46-46-50-50 stitches with circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands). Purl 1 row from the wrong side, then work as follows from the right side: 1 edge stitch in garter stitch, rib (knit 1, purl 1) until there is 1 stitch left, 1 edge stitch in garter stitch. When the rib measures 12 cm = 4¾", knit 1 row from the right side where you decrease 10-10-10-10-12-12 stitches evenly spaced – remember DECREASE TIP-1 = 34-34-36-36-38-38 stitches. Change to circular needle size 8 MM = US 11. Continue with stockinette stitch and 1 edge stitch in garter stitch on each side. When the sleeve measures 14 cm = 5½", increase 1 stitch on each side – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 8-6½-6-5-4½-3½ cm = 3⅛"-2½"-2⅜"-2"-1⅝"-1¼" a total of 5-6-6-7-7-8 times = 44-46-48-50-52-54 stitches. Continue working until the sleeve measures 49-49-48-46-45-43 cm = 19¼"-19¼"-19"-18"-17¾"-17", or to desired length (approx. 1-1-2-4-5-7 cm = ⅜"-⅜"-¾"-1½"-2"-2¾" left for the sleeve cap). Insert 1 marker on each side – they mark the bottom of the armhole and are used when sewing the sleeves to the body. Continue working until the sleeve measures 50 cm = 19¾" in all sizes. Bind off with knit from the right side. Work the other sleeve in the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew the shoulder seams inside the bind-off edge. Sew in the sleeves, inside the 1 edge stitch along the armholes and the bind-off edge on the sleeve cap. Sew together the bottoms of the armholes – the markers on the sleeve should match the sides of the body – see sketch. Sew the sleeve and side seams in one go inside the 1 edge stitch, leaving a 12 cm = 4¾" split at the bottom of each side seam. DOUBLE NECK: Knit up from the right side, inside the 1 edge stitch, 46 to 66 stitches around the neck (including the stitches on the thread) with circular needle size 6 MM = US 10 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands). The number of stitches should be divisible by 2. Work rib in the round (purl 1, knit 1) for 10 cm = 4". On the next round increase all purl-1 to purl-2 = 69 to 99 stitches. Continue the new rib until the neck measures 12 cm = 4¾". Bind off – read BINDING-OFF TIP. ASSEMBLY: Fold the neck double to the inside and sew down. To avoid the neck being tight and rolling outwards, it is important that the seam is elastic. ------------------------------------------------------- HAT – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked in the round, bottom up. HAT: Cast on 64-68-72 stitches with circular needle size 7 MM = US 10.75 and 1 strand DROPS Fabel and 2 strands DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (= 3 strands) – read DOUBLE STRAND TIP. Purl 1 round. Then work rib (knit 1, purl 1) for 14 cm = 5½". Knit 1 round where you decrease 10-12-14 stitches evenly spaced – read DECREASE TIP-1 = 54-56-58 stitches. Change to double pointed needles size 8 MM = US 11. Continue with stockinette stitch for 13-15-17 cm = 5⅛"-6"-6¾" (the hat measures 27-29-31 cm = 10⅝"-11⅜"-12¼" from the cast-on edge). REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Insert 8 markers as follows: Insert the first marker at the beginning of the round, the next marker after 6-7-8 stitches, then the other 6 markers with 7 stitches between each one; 6-7-8 stitches left on the round after the last marker. On the next round decrease 1 stitch before each marker – read DECREASE TIP-3. Decrease like this every 4th round a total of 3 times = 30-32-34 stitches. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and 2 = 15-16-17 stitches. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and 2 until there is 1-0-1 stitch left on the round and knit 1-0-1 = 8-8-9 stitches. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well. The hat measures approx. 34-36-38 cm = 13⅜"-14¼"-15" from the cast-on edge (= 25-27-29 cm = 9¾"-10⅝"-11⅜" with 9 cm = 3½" turn-up). |

Dzień dobry To jest mój debiut z Drops Design. Nie rozumiem zapisu: przerobić 1 rząd na prawo na prawej stronie robótki, równomiernie zamykając 10-10-10-10-12-12 oczek – pamiętać o ZAMYKANIU OCZEK-1 = 34-34-36-36-38-38 oczek. Konkretnie co oznacza 10-10-10 itd. Bardzo proszę o pomoc :)) pozdrawiam

Witaj Iwono, cały ciąg liczb dotyczy wszystkich rozmiarów. Jeśli przerabiasz rozmiar S, wybierasz zawsze 1-szą cyfrę z ciągu 6 cyfr rozdzielonych myślnikami, rozmiar M drugą cyfrę itd. Podstawy czytania naszych wzorów znajdziesz w kursie DROPS TUTAJ. W razie pytań śmiało pisz. Pozdrawiamy!

On the double neck part - what does - all purl -1 to purl -2 mean
26.10.2021 - 12:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Kate, to "increase all purl -1 to purl -2" means that we have to add 1 stitch to every purl stitch (so purl 1 becomes purl 2). We can do this increasing in various ways, for ex. by YO - see our video tutorials under the pattern. Happy knitting!
