Bonjour Mme Normandeau, les explications de ce modèle sont disponibles en 2 versions: Snow/Andes soit 11 m x 15 rangs jersey = 10 x 10 cm soit la version Nepal (plus bas dans la page) 17 m x22 rangs jersey = 10 x 10 cm. Bon tricot!
29.04.2022 kl. 08:33Hi igjen. Am working on the collar and I have a question. The collar is not yet 12 cm and it seems like it is going to be longer than the peice it is going to be sewn to. Should I knit 12 cm anyways and stretch to sew together. Or should I cast off when the collar is the correct length to see. That is the lengths are the same. Not sure how to end this .Thanks. S

Dear Sharon, cast off stitches on collar when peice measures 12 cm on mid back, then sew the new stitches increased on each side along the 16 sts cast off on each front piece. Happy knitting!
28.01.2022 kl. 08:50Hi! Thanks for your response, but it is impossible to pick up 36 or 42 sts. If i do there er large gaps. Had to pick up more sts and decreased. the YO is not the problem its the amount of stitches to pic up.
24.01.2022 - 08:18DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, remember that you don't have to pick up sts along the 16 sts on each front piece; this mean just pick up 8 sts on each front piece + 24 sts on neckline back piece = 42 sts. Should you get more/less sts, you can then adjust on first row. Happy knitting!
24.01.2022 kl. 10:25Hi, am picking for the collar on the largest size of the Nepal version. My question is how do i pick up so there er no large gaps between the picked up stitches. I tried twice and ripped put because there were too many stitches and when i tried to pick up 42 stitches there were large gaps between stitches as mentioned. So how do I solve this problem.
23.01.2022 - 00:16DROPS Design answered:
Hi Sharon, If you get large gaps between the stitches, when you first work the knitted-up stitches, work them twisted (i.e. in the back loop). This should avoid holes. Happy knitting!
24.01.2022 kl. 08:05Sorry i have to ask a question about Silver Haze size 52 (made in Nepal)I have 108 stitches on the needles after casting off 3 stitches on both sides for armhole. When I decrease 2 stitches 5 times and the instructions thereafter I end up with the wrong amount of stitches. I cannot seem to get this correct. What am I missing?\r\nS
16.01.2022 - 15:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, if you are working the largest size, you need to decrease: 3 sts twice on each side (=12 stitches), 2 stitches 5 times on each side (= 20 stitches) and 1 stitch 4 times on each side (= 8 stitches). So you need to have 114-40 stitches= 74 stitches. Happy knitting!
17.01.2022 kl. 00:57Hi, am making the Nepal version of this sweater. How many stitches should i pick up for the collar? Thanks for your response. S
29.12.2021 - 22:45DROPS Design answered:
Hi Sharon, follow the pattern, i.e. pick up approx. 36 to 42 sts in between the MT at the neck line (i.e do not pick up sts in the outer most 16 sts each side at the mid front). Happy knitting!
30.12.2021 kl. 09:20Hi am making Silver Haze again, but with short sleeves. 15 inches is still to long for med and would be a long sleeve. Should I start to increase earlier than stated in the pattern. If so at what point?
22.12.2021 - 10:42DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, we are unfortunately unable to adjust every pattern to every single request, you can try to take inspiration from a similar pattern - same tension and the desired length of sleeve or ask the store where you bought the yarn for any individual assistance. You can even ask other knitters in our group DROPS Workshop. Thanks for your comprehension.
22.12.2021 kl. 15:48Which row do i start on for the left front so the pattern matches? Reversing the pattern so that the stockinett stitches faces each other is ok. But how do I knit this so pattern is symmetrical.
20.11.2021 - 02:01DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, just work in pattern as for first piece, ie follow "double seed stitch" the same way (P2, K2 on first row from RS). Happy knitting!
22.11.2021 kl. 07:43Hi, Sharon again making size 52 Silver Haze with snow. Made the sleeve twice and had to redo. I would like a sleeve a longer than the short version. Following the instruction for the short version is too small in width. The instruction for the long sleeves is perfect with but way too long. Suggestion is appreciate. Sharon

19.11.2021 kl. 07:16Hi. Thanks so much. Everything worked out from the explanation i received. Sharon
