Er der ikke fejl i mønsterforklaringen- der er to tegn for slå om for ekstra maske men ikke forklaring af indtag. Mangler beskrivelsen af halskanten ikke også? Hvor mange masker skal tages op for half kant? På forhånd tak.

I would like to see a picture of the back. I don't understand what it's supposed to look like at the neck.
16.09.2023 - 23:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Daphne, we don't have any pictures of the back; all of the available photos have been posted online. The neck edge on the back is the last section of the back: an edge worked in garter stitch and it should have a round shape and go right around the neck at the back. Happy knitting!

The V neck shaping says ‘decrease 1 stitch for the neck inside the 5 band stitches mid front’. Does this mean decrease at stitches 6&7? What does mid front mean?
14.06.2023 - 21:39DROPS Design answered:
Hi Joan, The increases are after the first band and before the last band, so th 6th stitch at the beginning of the row and the 6th-to-last stitch at the end of the row. Happy knitting!

Hi there, Please advise, when it says ‘ When the piece measures 31-32-33-34-35-36 cm, cast off for the armholes at the beginning of each row as follows: 3 stitches 1 time, 2 stitches 2-3-4-5-7-9 times and 1 stitch 2-2-3-4-4-4 times on each side = 59-61-63-65-67-69 stitches.’ The ‘CO 3 stitches 1 time’ is this only at the beginning of 1 row, ie one side? Thank you,
23.04.2023 - 21:46DROPS Design answered:
Hi davina, No, the cast off stitches are symmetrical, so at the beginning of every row, and each number of stitches is repeated on both the right and wrong side before starting the next number of stitches. In other words you cast off 3 stitches one time on each side, then 2 stitches the correct number of times on each side. Happy knitting!

Hola! Cuando la labor mida 9 cm cerrar 4 puntos al inicio de las siguientes 2 filas. Cuando la labor mida 10 cm disminuir 2 puntos a cada lado trabajando juntos de derecho los primeros 3 puntos y los últimos 3 puntos en la fila. 1. No entiendo como cerrar los cuatro puntos, cierro 4 en el derecho y 4 en el revés ? O 4 al inicio de cada derecho? En total son 8 puntos cerrados? 2. Tampoco entiendo lo de “2 puntos a cada lado… Gracias!
20.04.2023 - 02:15DROPS Design answered:
Hola Raquel, sí, son 4 puntos por el lado derecho y 4 pts por el lado revés, así que en total 8x2 = 16 puntos (1 fila es tanto por el lado derecho como por el lado revés). 2 pts a cada lado quiere decir 2 pts al inicio y al final de la fila, así que los primeros 3 pts y los últimos 3 pts de cada fila se trabajan juntos de derecho, disminuyendo 2 pts a cada lado.

C'est un joli modèle - je voudrais le tricoter avec des aiguilles droites - pouvez-vous m'envoyer explications - Merci beaucoup -
03.09.2022 - 11:53DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Roman, ce modèle se tricote en différentes parties assemblées entre elles à la fin, chaque pièce se tricote en allers et retours sur aiguille circulaire pour avoir suffisamment de place pour y loger toutes les mailles, vous pouvez ainsi simplement utiliser des aiguilles droites. Découvrez ici comment adapter un modèle sur aiguilles droites. Bon tricot!

Beste, ik zou graag het model 230-56 breien .Maat M . er staat 150 gram .Is dat voldoende om het pull met 2 draden te breien met naald 5?
21.05.2022 - 18:29DROPS Design answered:
Dag Christine,
Ja hoor, dat is genoeg. Kid Silk is heel dun en licht garen, waardoor je niet veel gram nodig hebt. Een bol weegt 25 gram, dus je hebt dan 5 bollen nodig.

Please can you explain the instruction on the sleeves "on the next row purl all stitches together 3 and 3 = 17 - 17 - 18 - 18 etc" It doesn't make sense.

Dear Sarah, you repeat "purl 3 together"the whole round, over all stitches, decreasing from 51.... to 17..... stitches. Happy knitting!
