Diagram
Muito obrigada pela vossa excelente explicação. Já fiz e ficou lindo
20.10.2022 - 09:20Ola, ao fazer a gola deste modelo posso levantar as malhas a toda volta do decote em vez de ter fazer aumentos e depois coser? Qual a diferença? Obrigada
16.10.2022 - 23:33DROPS Design answered:
Boa tarde, As malhas , no modelo, são levantadas para formar a gola. Pode levantar sem fazer os aumentos, mas não terá o mesmo feitio. Os aumentos vão enviesar a gola para que possa ficar como na foto ao ser dobrada. Sem os aumentos, há a possibilidade de a gola, ao ser dobrada, ficar estreita. Bons tricôs!

Hei Karen. Nei, det er riktig slik det står (det er kortere mål i de større størrelsene pga bredere skuldervidde og lengre ermetopp). mvh DROPS Design
17.10.2022 kl. 13:12No vosso diagrama os números são n. de malhas ou cm e na vertical são voltas? Não consigo chegar a uma conclusão. Obrigada

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
27.01.2022 - 20:23DROPS Design answered:
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!
