TOP - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Worked in the round on circular needle, from the bottom and up to V-neck and armholes. Then divide the piece into back piece and right and left front pieces, and finish each part separately.
TOP:
Cast on 120-132-148-152-168-192 stitches on circular needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 with DROPS Paris. Knit 1 round, then work rib as follows: Knit 1, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* over the next 24-28-32-32-36-40 stitches, purl 1, knit 3, purl 2, knit 3, purl 1, * knit 2, purl 2 *, work from *-* stitch until 1 stitch remain, knit 1. Continue rib like this for 4 cm = 1 1/2". Switch to circular needle size 5.5 MM = US 9, and work next round as follows. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of round, knit over the first 25-29-33-33-37-41 stitches and decrease 1-2-3-0-0-1 stitch evenly over these stitches, work A.1 (work A.1 over 1 purl, 3 knit, 2 purl, 3 knit, 1 purl from rib), knit the next 25-29-33-33-37-41 stitches and decrease 1-2-3-0-0-1 stitches evenly over these stitches, insert 1 marker thread here, knit the last 60-64-72-76-84-96 stitches, and decrease 2-0-2-0-0-2 evenly over these stitches = 116-128-140-152-168-188 stitches. There is now 1 marker thread in each side of piece. Move the marker threads upwards when working – they should be used later. When piece measures 30-31-32-33-34-34 cm = 11 3/4"-12 1/4"-12 1/2"-13"-13 3/8"-13 3/8" from cast-on edge, adjust so that next round is an cable round in A.1, work A.1B over stitches in A.1. Work A.1B 1 time vertically. Cut the yarn. Now slip stitches on thread, this is done without working the stitches. Slip the first 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches at the beginning of round on a thread for armhole, slip the next 21-24-27-28-32-35 stitches on another thread for left front piece, keep the next 21-24-27-28-32-35 stitches on needle for right front piece, slip the next 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches on a thread for armhole, slip the next 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches on a thread for armhole, slip the next 42-48-54-56-64-70 stitches on another thread for back piece, and slip the last 8-8-8-10-10-12 stitches on another thread for armhole.

Repeat the pattern from row with arrow back and forth over these 10 stitches until strap measures approx. 6-6-6-7-7-7 cm = 2 3/8"-2 3/8"-2 3/8"-2 3/4"-2 3/4"-2 3/4" - adjust to finish after next to last row in diagram. Bind off from wrong side with purl, at the same time purl 2 and 2 stitches together.
Slip 10 stitches from thread back on circular needle and work last row in A.5 (= from wrong side). Then repeat the pattern from row with arrow until strap measures approx. 6-6-6-7-7-7 cm = 2 3/8"-2 3/8"-2 3/8"-2 3/4"-2 3/4"-2 3/4" - adjust to finish after next to last row with cable. Bind off from wrong side with purl, at the same time purl 2 and 2 stitches together.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew together the straps with grafting/kitchener stitches. Sew together cast-on edge in the side where 5 new stitches were cast on (A.2/A.3). Sew with grafting/kitchener stitches to avoid a chunky seam. Fasten off.

Klopt het dat de schouderbandjes van de voorpanden met naald 5,5 en die van het achterpand met 4,5?
10.09.2023 - 11:38Bonjour, Le diagramme A4 ne me semble pas logique. Si l’on fait suivre le motif on devrait avoir au 1er rang 3 mailles endroit, 2 m. envers 3 m. ensemble 2 m envers 3 m endroit, alors que c’est marqué 5 m endroit 3 m ensemble 5 m endroit. Ai - je mal compris ? Merci de votre aise et votre formidable travail.

Bonjour, Le diagramme A.4 concerne la torsade des bretelles après montage de mailles supplementaires pour les emmanchures de chaque côté et après avoir diminué pour chaque devant. Il s'agit du début de la bretelle et se tricote plus en côtes. Bon tricot!
28.09.2023 kl. 14:58Hi! I want to make this pattern, but have a hard time deciding which size to choose. Is the pattern made with a positive or negative ease? My bust circumference is 95cm/37,4 inch, should I size down and make size M, or make size L? Thank you for the answer in advance!
04.08.2023 - 20:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Bogi, you can see the measurements of the garment in the schematic after the pattern instructions. For size M of the garment the chest will measure 88 cm, while the L size will measure 96cm. Happy knitting!
06.08.2023 kl. 21:33Właśnie mam wątpliwość co do wskazówek. Moim zdaniem po wzorze A3 powinna być redukcja z nachyleniem w lewo , a przed wzorem A2 w prawo. Czyli żeby redukowane oczka nachylały się do środka przodów. Wiec odwrotnie niż podano we wzorze.
17.07.2023 - 12:49DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Aniu, wzór stanowi tak jak jest napisane. Jeśli bardziej podoba Ci się odwrotne zamykanie oczek, możesz to oczywiście zmienić. Serdecznie pozdrawiam!
17.07.2023 kl. 13:56W którą stronę powinny być pochylone oczka przy kształtowaniu oczek na dekolcie i w pokroju pachy ? Robiąc prawy przód oczka redukowane przy warkoczu powinny być pochylone na prawo czy na lewo ?
16.07.2023 - 23:44DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Aniu, patrz część wzoru pt. ZAMYKANIE OCZEK. Przy przerobieniu 2 oczek razem na prawo, powstałe oczko będzie nachylone w prawo. Przy zamykaniu oczek typu 'zdjąć 1 oczko jak do przerobienia na prawo, przerobić 1 oczko prawe, przełożyć oczko zdjęte nad przerobionym oczkiem' - powstałe w ten sposób oczko będzie nachylone w lewo. Zobacz jeszcze video, które znajdują się pod wzorem. Pozdrawiamy!
17.07.2023 kl. 11:52Er det en feil i oppskriften når man kommer til bakstykke, kant venstre ermehull? Det står strikk A.2, men skal det være A.3 slik at det blir rette masker øverst slik som på framstykket? Skulle ønske det var et bilde av den fra baksiden..
26.06.2023 - 18:05DROPS Design answered:
Hei Hanne Mette. Jo, det skal være riktig. Men husk at når du skal strikke A.2 sammen med bakstykket så skjer dette fra vrangen, så den siste masken i A.2 (som er en rett maske) strikkes RETT sammen med 1. og 2. maske etter merketråden i siden på bakstykket (disse 2 maskene er vrang). Du vil da få de 3 rettmaskene i kanten. mvh DROPS Design
03.07.2023 kl. 09:29Hei! Jeg har problemer med å forstå hvordan jeg skal strikke det venstre fortykket? Det må vel strikkes speilvendt i forhold til det høyre forstykke? Hvordan gjør jeg dette?
24.06.2023 - 13:19DROPS Design answered:
Hei Thea Isabel. Se under (ditt 1. spørsmål). mvh DROPS Design
26.06.2023 kl. 11:14Hei! Jeg har problemer med å forstå hvordan jeg skal strikke det venstre fortykket. Jeg skjønner ikke oppskriften. Det står akkurat det samme som på det høyre forstykket, men jeg må jo gjøre det speilvendt? Jeg har prøvd å strikke det venstre fortykket ved å felle fra vrangen, men det er akkurat som om det går en rad med rett oppover v-halsen. På det høyre forstykket forsvinner radene i hverandre.
23.06.2023 - 13:47DROPS Design answered:
Hei Thea Isabel. LItt usikker på hvor det blir feil hos deg, hvilken str strikker du? Husk at det strikkes forskjellige diagrammer på høyre og venstre forstykke. Har du titten på hjelpevideoen: Hvordan strikke et høyre forstykke til en topp. Se den og kanskje det blir lettere å skjønne Venstre Forstykke. mvh DROPS Design
26.06.2023 kl. 11:06¿ Que significa, al cerrar los tirantes del delantero, la siguiente expresión: “ cerrar por el revés y al mismo tiempo trabajar 2 y 2 puntos del revés ? Muchas gracias
12.05.2023 - 21:53DROPS Design answered:
Hola Montserrat, quiere decir que cierras por el lado revés pero, en vez de trabajar el punto y cerrarlo, trabajas 2 puntos juntos de revés y los cierras, y así hasta cerrar todos los puntos.
14.05.2023 kl. 18:45Klopt het diagram A1 wel? Op de foto staan er 10 kabels in totaal en ik heb bij de aangegeven lengte maar 5 kabels gebreid. Ook zien mijn kabels er langer uit. Proeflapje klopte
