Hallo liebes Drops Team, Frage zu der Jacke. Bin gerade bei der Kapuze Größe 5-6 Jahre. Ist die Maschenanzahl 42 für die Kapuze die gesamte Anzahl oder muss ich die zu den 30-40 Maschen bei der Aufnahme der Kapuze dazu addieren? Herzlichen Dank. Yvonne

Liebe Yvonne, Sie müssen 42 M im total nach der Zunahmen haben (ca 30-40 M werden aufgenommen, regelmäßig ab- bzw zunehmen damit Sie 42 M haben). Viel Spaß beim stricken!Ser ud til at begge nissehuer er på damme p 5.5 sevl om der står p 9 til eskimo garn hvor finder jeg den opskrift der passee til eskimogarn

Hei Anni. Jakken strikkes i Eskimo og på pinne 9, men vottene og luen strikkes i Alaska og på pinne 5,5 (se lengre ned på oppskriften, så ser du informasjonen). God Fornøyelse!Martha Ntakou 25.01.2017 - 23:30:
Another great design! My only complaint so far is the buttonhole, where it is mentioned the YO should be worked in the back on the next row. That made the hole disappear and I had to unknit the work and knit it again normally as it is shown on the video.
Wbt de wanten. Moet de duim echt met 9mm en niet 5mm gebreid worden of is dit een foutje? En wat wordt bedoeld met 2 draden opzetten en 1 weer uithalen? Is dat voor een elastische boord? Eskimowol er weer uithalen gaat verre van makkelijk namelijk. Alvast bedankt voor uw antwoorden!

02.11.2015 kl. 14:44:
Hoi Kit. Nee, die moet zeker niet met 9 mm. Dat is een fout in de vertaling. Ik pas aan. En je zet op met 2 draden, maar breit met één. Je moet niet de draad uithalen, maar één eraf knippen. Ik hoop dat het zo duidelijker is.Hej, jag undrar vart beskrivningen till tofsarna finns som ska sitta på tröjan, det står att den finns på sidan 3, men vart är det?

Hej Anne Marie. Nej, du skal kun bruge 1 tråd.Wat wordt er bedoeld met 4 st in een draad? het gaat om de linkervoorpand op een hoogte van 43 cm en moet ik afkanten in de 4 ribbelsteken? of kan ik dat beter in de tricosteken doen naast de ribbelst
DROPS Design
31.01.2013 kl. 16:15:
Je plaatst de 4 st op een draad/speld of dergelijks. Dan kant je af in de tricotst naast de 4 ribbelst. Bij de capuchon zet je dan de 4 st van beide voorpanden terug op de nld.Hei igjen. Tusen takk for hurtig svar! Jeg ser nå at spørsmålet mitt var litt uklart så jeg prøver en gang til:) hvor mange masker skal man felle av på den aller siste pinnen (den pinnen hvor man klipper av tråden når siste maske er felt av) ? Mvh, Marianne
DROPS Design
24.10.2012 kl. 11:43:
Når du starter fellingen måler arbeidet 28 cm, det skal da på annenhver pinne felle tilsammen 9 masker i hver side, arbeidet måler da ca 32 cm, og det vil være 12 masker igjen på pinnen (men her må det tas hensyn til om man har fulgt den anbefalte strikkefastheten). mvh Drops designHei! Kan dere hjelpe meg med hvor mange masker det skal være når man feller av ermet på jakken i den minste størrelsen? Tusen takk :)
DROPS Design
15.10.2012 kl. 10:58:
I den minste størrelsen legger man opp 20 m og når arb måler 7 cm økes det 1 m i hver side på hver 4,5 cm totalt 5 ganger = 30 m. Så før man begynner å felle av på ermet er det 30 m.Post a comment to pattern DROPS Children 12-23
