25.05.2023 kl. 09:15In the Shawl Collar when it says, “i.e. cables are done,” does this mean the cables are continued to be worked (as is in I should continue doing the cables), or the cables are completed (as in I’m done with the cables)?
27.04.2023 - 17:36DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mr Stevens, the cables will not be worked anymore on shawl collar, ie just K over K and P over P without crossing the stitches anymore. Happy knitting!

Dag Loes,
Je breit eerst A.9 in de breedte, dan brei je afhankelijk van je maat 0 of 1 steek averecht (Dus het eerste getal slaat op de eerste maat, het tweede getal op de tweede maat, enzovoort)
22.12.2022 kl. 08:18Bonjour, je suis en train de tricoter ce modèle et j’ai une question. Je suis sur le dos et je vais commencer le motif A4. Il est indiqué de diminuer de 36 mailles à intervalles réguliers. Est-ce que je dois diminuer de 36 mailles sur un rang (lequel ?) ou répartir 2 diminutions de chaque côté sur 18 rangs du motif ou encore autrement ? Merci d’avance à vous pour votre aide.
28.11.2022 - 13:07DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Pillie, en L vous devez diminuer 36 mailles au 1er rang de A.4, ainsi, il vous reste 128-36=92 mailles pour tricoter A.4, avec 1 m lis au point mousse de chaque côté. Cette leçon explique comment répartir des diminutions à intervalles réguliers. Bon tricot!
29.11.2022 kl. 11:20Bonsoir ; je fais appel encore une fois à vous pour m’expliquer les augmentations au niveau des manches après 20cm est-ce qu’il faut faire 1 jeté juste avant et après le marqueur ou après tricoter 2 mailles je suis confuse merci de votre aide 😊
14.11.2022 - 22:55DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Simaj, tricotez 1 maille après le marqueur du début du tour, faites 1 jeté, tricotez comme avant jusqu'à ce qu'il reste 2 mailles avant la fin du tour, faites 1 jeté, terminez le tour comme avant. Au tour suivant, tricotez les jetés torse, d'abord à l'envers puis torse à l'endroit ou à l'envers en suivant A.8/A.8a. Bon tricot!
15.11.2022 kl. 09:31Bonsoir ; désolée de vous déranger mais je n’ai pas compris ce passage vu que je suis entrain de faire ce modèle en M: tricoter A.9, 1 -0-0-1-0-1 maille envers, 1-0-0-1-0-1 maille endroit, tricoter A.1 jusqu’à ce qu’il reste 1 maille, 1 maille lisière au point mousse. est ce qu’il faut faire À.1 ou À 9 de même pour la suite : 7 mailles de bordure devant au point mousse, A.9 où A2 merci bcp
31.10.2022 - 20:41DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Simaj, vous tricotez les diagrammes simultanément sur un même rang, autrement dit vous tricotez A.9 mais en même temps vous tricotez A.1 - cette leçon explique comment lire et tricoter plusieurs diagrammes en même temps. Bon tricot!
01.11.2022 kl. 10:52When working the Shawl collar after the Right Front piece for Size Large - do I continue A8 after the garter stitches? There are 2 of A8 left, and knit over knit, purl over purl looks odd to me.
30.09.2022 - 01:32DROPS Design answered:
Dear Madeleine, just work K over K and P over P - without cables anymore and the 7 front band stitches in garter stitch. Happy knitting!
30.09.2022 kl. 08:20Ik lees in het patroon dat ik moet beginnen met opzetten met 1 draad van elke kwaliteit (2 draden). Houdt dat in dat ik het hele vest met 2 draden dus met beide soorten wol tegelijk moet breien?
13.09.2022 - 20:19DROPS Design answered:
Dag Blom,
Ja dat klopt, het het hele werk wordt met 2 draden gebreid.
