On the Body Piece, when you first start the cable, what do you exactly mean when you say "Continue like this until piece...." Because you start with an increase row when you start the cable and then the next round you do the M1, M2, then continue like this - like what? Can you please be more specific. Also, when you start the body piece am I suppose to be knitting in the round?, and am I starting on the right row? after the 9"? I really need your help. Thank you.

Dear Carmen, continue as worked on previous round, ie with stocking sts, M1 and M2 (inc for cables are now done). Body is worked in the round, rounds bg on the left side of piece. After both legs are worked, cut the yarn and slip sts onto same circular needle, place a marker on each side and beg round on the left side as stated for your size. Happy knitting!

Thank you for your reply - it helps - only the count is off - I should end up with 120 stitches after the increases and if I only knit 24+[P2=K2+P2+K2 (from 2 sts)]+P2+24 (for front) + 58 for back = 116. I should be ending up with 120. Did you mean to knit 26 + increases + P2 + 26 this will = 120. Is the count off? This will also center the beginning of cable line in the front. Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Carmen, when putting legs tog you have 116 sts (58 x 2 legs), then work: 24 sts, P2, (work kfbl in the next 2 sts (= 2 inc) = K 4 over K2), P2, (work kfbl in the next 2 sts (= 2 inc) = K 4 over K2), P2, 24 sts in stocking st (= 62 sts for front piece), 58 sts in stocking st (= back piece) = 120 sts. Happy knitting!

I am just starting the body piece after the legs - after you slip both legs on circular needle - am confused on where to start knitting - if I start at edge of leg where I just bound off the 4 stitches the P2K2 seem to appear in the middle of (or side of) the leg piece? Where do I start knitting the first 24 stitches? Do I start in the middle of one of the legs? Please advise - thank you in advance.
26.05.2016 - 18:37DROPS Design answered:
Dear Carmen, when you have slipped both legs on the same needle you added 2 markers, 1 on each side with 58 sts between each marker. Start rounds on the marker on the left side of piece so that you have 24 sts + P2, K2 in each of the next 2 sts, P2, K2 in each of the next 2 sts, P2, 24 sts stocking st (= front piece), marker on right side of piece, 58 sts in stocking st (= back piece). Happy knitting!

I am just starting the body piece after the legs. After putting both legs on the circular needle it wants me to knit 18 stockinette stitches then start the cabling process. When I knit 18 stitches it leads me to believe I will have cable up the sides of the garment not up the front. Am I reading the pattern wrong?
17.05.2016 - 12:39DROPS Design answered:
Dear Amanda, when starting body, rounds should now start on the left side of piece, so that you will have the 18 sts in stockinette, then the cables (= over 10 sts), and 18 sts in stockinette sts = front piece and remaining 46 sts on round = back piece. Happy knitting!

Drops Baby 16-2 what do you mean by: Continue like this until piece measures 38-46-54 (59-66) cm (Do you mean continue working the last (cable) row? or the last 2 rows worked (with the increase row first)? Please clarify for me. Thank you.
13.02.2016 - 05:31DROPS Design answered:
Dear Teresa, you continue working in pattern with stocking sts, P2 (from RS) and diagram M1 and M2 until piece measures 38-46-54 (59-66) cm. Happy knitting!

Drops Baby 16-2, okay thank you - the final question, the remaining stitches DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME AS BEGINNING 21 STITCHES, just what remains, which will be 17 stitches? Yes, No? Thank you, I am just totally confused and need help, or just lost in translation.
10.02.2016 - 18:31DROPS Design answered:
Dear Carmen, when working 1st row on body, you work 21 sts in stocking st, P2, Kfb, Kfb, P2, Kfb, Kfb, P2, 73 sts in stocking st=108 sts. On next round, you work: 21 sts in stocking st, P2, M1 (= 4sts), P2, M2 (=4sts), P2, 73 sts in stocking st = 108 sts. Happy knitting!

Drops Design thank you for your reply, If I do knit in the front and back of the next 2 stitches the count will be off. For the 6/9 months, I am suppose to end with 108 sts (54 and 54) with K2FB in 2 stitches will give me 56 stitches on each side which total 112. Is the count wrong or the pattern?
10.02.2016 - 03:51DROPS Design answered:
Dear Carmen, you work in size 6/9 months as follows over the 104 sts: 21 sts in stocking st, then work P2, then inc by working K2 in each of the next 2 sts (= you have inc 2 sts and there are now K4), then P2, then inc 2 sts by working K2 in each of the next 2 sts (= you have inc 2 sts and there are now K4), work then P2 and work remaining sts in stocking st = you have inc a total of 4 sts, 104+4= 108 sts. Happy knitting!

On your pattern Baby Drops 16-2 right leg: Are you saying that after you cast on the # of stitches necessary you start with a wrong side and you purl that side before you start the ribbing? Please advise. Thank you.
30.01.2016 - 05:02DROPS Design answered:
Dear Connie, after casting on sts you first work a P row from WS, then work on next row from RS in rib with 4 sts in garter st on each side. Happy knitting!
