Hola Miriam. Los patrones de DROPS están preparados para las tallas S-XXXL. Si hay varios números, significa que el primer número es para la talla S, el 2º para la talla M, etc. Si hay solo un número, entonces es igual para todas las tallas. En tu caso, dependiendo de la talla, hay que trabajar 1 p.b. en cada uno de los sig 1 p.b.( para las tallas XS, S, M), 5 p.b. ( para la tallas L, XL) . 3 p.b. (para la talla XXL).
23.01.2021 - 20:29Hello, so I am guessing that I just move the markers along as I do each row? and increase nine times after each single crochet row? Just a comment it would be nice to say how many stitches there are after each increase Thank you
30.07.2020 - 17:34DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Rodgers, you increase 6 sts on every dc (US-English) row (= every other row), this means you will have 6 sts more after every increase row, and 6 sts x 9 times = 54 more sts when all decreases are done; Happy crocheting!

28.02.2020 - 16:46Bonjour Si je veux faire 1 rang de carrés supplémentaires, aurais je assez avec 2 pel noir 05,2 pel gris clair 21 et 1 pel blanc 19 ?merci

Bonjour Josie, nous n'avons malheureusement pas cette information, l'idéal serait de réaliser un carré et de pouvoir le peser pour calculer la quantité nécessaire en fonction des couleurs. Votre magasin DROPS pourra probablement vous assister si besoin - même par mail ou téléphone. Bon crochet!
