Sorry 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!

Hi, 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!

Hi 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.

Which 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!

Hi, 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

Is there a problem withthe snow version size 52. Largest size. Am here: when the piece measures 35-36-37-38-39-40 cm [13¾”- 14¼”- 14½”- 15”- 15¼“-15¾”] bind off for armholes in the beg of every row each side: 3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 0-0-1-2-3-3 times and 1 st 1-2-3-3-3-4 times = 40-42-42-44-46-48 sts left. won’t be left with 48 stitches after the decreases. Shouldn’t the stitches after decrease be 58. First Dec. instructions says to decrease 3 st. 1 time. There is 2 armholes.

Dear Sharon, in Snow largest size you have 74 sts, then cast off 3 sts at the beg of next 2 row (3 sts on each side) = 68 sts, then cast off 2 sts at the beg of next 6 rows (3 times 2 sts on each side) = 68-12=56 sts; then cast off 1 stitch at the beg of next 8 rows (4 times 1 st on each side) = 56-8=48 sts. Can this help?

Hi, the instructions says to increase 1 stitch at the side for the front and there after every x amount of rows. Making largest side. how many rows equals 3 cm? I worked it out and I got 7 rows. Could be wrong. Is the hem a slanted shape? Is there a gauge for the seed stitch? Am confused.
09.11.2021 - 15:48DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, the number of rows depend on your exact gauge (which might be different for every individual. The pattern itself works with 15 rows = 10 cm. . Please make a gauge swatch, wash, and then measure. The hem should be straight. Happy stitching!.

Hei! Am still puzzled over this sweater. The instructions says to decrease 1 stitch each side after 2inches. After 2 inches there is an increase every 1,1/8 rows how much rows is 1. 1/8. I am not good at math so my calculations could be incorrect. Also after the increases the hem is not straight like the picture. Is the hen slanted?
09.11.2021 - 15:25DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, with a tension of 22 rows = 10 cm/4 ", 1 row should be approx. 0.45 cm/1.18 inches. The bottom edge should be straight, the decreases are worked on the sides of the jacket to give the A-Shape - see chart. Hope this will help.

Hi! Thanks again. Am making size 52. Am still confused because theme stockinett stitch section and the seed stitch section is not the same length. The instructions and your response is “when the piece measures 15 inches to start the buttonhole. I So am not sure how to proceed or if I should just give up on this project. I have put a lot of time into it so far. I could purchase the yarn used in the pattern but will I have the Sam problems.
08.11.2021 - 11:55DROPS Design answered:
Dear Sharon, do you mean size XXXL? When piece measures 58 cm / 22¾” you cast off the first 10 sts (= seed stitches) for neck, continue working the remaining sts as before and continue casting off for neck as explained (all seed stitches will then be cast off and picked up later for neck). First buttonhole is worked at 15 " and last buttonhole will be opened at 22', this means before you cast off for neck. Can this help?
