When doing the right side, it says \"Additionally make 5-6-6-6-6-7 buttonholes as follows: ch 2 over 3rd and 4th sc from mid front, on next row crochet 1 sc in each ch.\" I can\'t figure out what mid front means. Do you mean for the button holes to go in the 3rd and 4th sc from the outside edge?

Hi Stefanie, Measurements for the different sizes are shown in a diagram at the bottom of the pattern. Happy crocheting!Mooi en makkelijk patroon! Heel veel complimenten gekregen, soms zomaar van een vreemde😀. De jas is erg warm....jas nr 2 bijna klaar, wel met een andere steek.
Hi! I've just finished the back piece and started working on the left front piece. I'm confused about the width of the left/right front piece. The way it is shown on the drawing it seems to me that the front pieces should be half the width of the back piece, or 24,5cm for size small. However, mine is much wider, around 33cm. Is this what the width of each front piece should really be, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you very much in advance!

Dear Jana, don´t worry - front pieces should not be half of width of the back piece, as you have to count with button bands. Front pieces have due to it lay over each other, so it must be slightly wider than half of back. Happy crocheting!Hei! For en fin passform og lengde på denne jakken. Denne jakken vil jeg veldig gjerne STRIKKE! Hvordan skal jeg tenke om jeg vil "gjøre om" denne til en strikkeoppskrift? Ikke vant med å hekle, men kan lese oppskrift. Tusen takk for svar!

Hvis du går ind på DROPS forside, så kan du søge ved at skrive "jakker" i søgeruden og klikke på kategori "dame", du kan også vælge teknikk som feks "sjalskrave" hvis du vil det. Vi håber du finder en jakke du synes om :)Hej. Jag är nu på slutet av ärmen men förstår inte, har minskat 3fm i båda sidorna och ska avmaska för ärmkullen nu. Hur gör jag då? Ska jag minska 2fm i båda sidorna el bara ena? Behöver hjälp ända ner till slutet.mvh Alexandra

Dear Mrs Zahran, please contact your DROPS store for any assistance choosing a colour, they will be able to help you even per mail or telephone. Happy crocheting!I am attempting to crochet the xxl size which calls for 800g total for the main color. I purchased yarn that is 113g per skein. It is labeled as 6/super bulky for a total of 904g. I think the required amount is incorrect because I am starting on my third skein and I am not even half way done with the back!
