Når man skal felle av på ermet står det: Det fortsettes å felles til ermtopp i hver side på hver 2.p slik: 2 m 2 ganger og deretter 1 m 4 (strikker M). Skal man felle av på hver side eller kun 2 m på starten av hver andre pinne?

Hei Julie. Du feller av på hver side, slik at sidenen blir like. mvh DROPS Design
13.11.2023 - 11:34Hallo! Ich bin total verwirrt mit den Angaben. Ich habe exakt nach Angaben gestrickt und meine Maschenprobe, glatt rechts gestrickt, passte auch. Solange ich den Bund gestrickt habe passte das mit den 53 cm. Jetzt habe ich die 74 Maschen abgenommen und das Perlmuster begonnen und jetzt „explodiert“ mir die Breite auf 65cm. Reguliert dich das wieder? Oder habe ich etwas falsch gemacht? Danke schonmal für eure Mühen!

Liebe Jenni, welche Größe stricken Sie? unten bei dem Bündchen sind es 38-42-46-51-57-63 cm dann, nach den 2 Zunahmen an beiden Seiten und vor Armlöcher sollen Sie 40-44-48-53-59-65 cm haben. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
16.01.2023 - 10:40Eine Frage zu den Ärmeln: irgendwann sollen für die Armkugeln zu Beginn der Reihe Maschen abgekettet werden. Tatsächlich nur am Anfang der Reihe, oder beidseitig?
26.12.2022 - 16:34DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Bärbel, die Maschen für die Armkugel werden am Anfang jeder Reihe (= Hin- sowie Rücktreihe) abgekettet,dh so wird es abgekettet: 2 Maschen am Anfang der nächsten 4-4-6-6-10-10 Reihen (= 2-2-3-3-5-5 Mal beidseitig) und 1 Masche am Anfang der nächsten 6-8-8-10-10-12 Reihen (= 3-4-4-5-5-6 Mal beidseitig). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
02.01.2023 - 09:21Hola de nuevo, para hacer la vuelta corta los puntos externos serían los 20 puntos finales del lado derecho o izquierdo? Cuando la labor está del LD. Saludos
13.10.2022 - 10:06DROPS Design answered:
Hola Katherine, los 20 pts son desde el centro del delantero hacia el borde de costura. Si trabajas por el lado derecho, los 20 pts son los del inicio de la vuelta/ fila.
17.10.2022 - 00:17Hola, no entiendo la parte del cuello que dice: tejer vueltas cortas (tejer 2 vueltas pto musgo todos los pts ,tejer 2 vetas sobre los 20 pts externos, ¿son 20 pts del centro?). Y no se como tejer las vueltas cortas. Gracias por su ayuda.
11.10.2022 - 16:10DROPS Design answered:
Hola Kathy, para tejer las vueltas cortas, que ayudan a dar forma redonda al cuello, puedes consultar el siguiente vídeo: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=438&lang=es. En cuanto a los 20 pts: para la talla S (por ejemplo), trabajas sobre 26 pts de ida y vuelta y luego se trabajan 2 filas sobre los 20 pts más cercanos al centro del delantero. Por lo tanto, comienzas trabajando 20 pts desde el centro del delantero, giras y trabajas de nuevo sobre estos 20 pts de vuelta. Después trabajar otra vez sobre los 26 pts de ida y vuelta.
17.10.2022 - 00:15I am a little confused about the YO increase on either side of the marker - this makes for a double YO which results in a large hole regardless of whether the YOs are worked through the back. Am I missing something? Thanks!
05.06.2022 - 02:56DROPS Design answered:
Dear Susan, you can work the yarn overs on each side of 2 stitches on the sides, ie work until 1 stitch remains before marker, make 1 yarn over, work the next 2 sts (marker is between these both stitches), make 1 yarn over; and repeat at next marker. Happy knitting!
07.06.2022 - 08:31Hi all, I am confused, and wonder if you can explain the below in plain terms please? When piece measures 4 cm / 1½’’, K 1 round while AT THE SAME TIME dec 53-58-63-72-78-87 sts evenly (dec by K tog approx. every 3rd and 4th st) = 160-176-192-216-240-264 sts. Then switch to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and continue in the round with DOUBLE SEED ST and STRIPES - See explanation above. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!

Dear Nicky, when piece measures 4 cm you will knit 1 round decreasing evenly (see this lesson, then switch to larger needle and work in double seed stitch following the stripes (see at the beg of the pattern description of both). Can this help?
14.09.2021 - 07:22My question was how to work work increases and maintain double moss stitch
06.01.2021 - 09:07DROPS Design answered:
Hi Deni, you will add 2 stitches in one side, so just adjust them accordingly, to maintain double moss stitch. Happy knitting!
06.01.2021 - 09:19I'm knitting size xl and is at 16 cm.can you tell me how to proceed with increasing.how to work yarn over through back loop in the next round (when to make purl when to make knit twisted)
06.01.2021 - 08:24DROPS Design answered:
Hi Deni, please see the video HERE. Happy knitting!
06.01.2021 - 08:56I am not sure if I am working the side of the collar that I think I am...when being assembled, does the long side or the short side of the collar get sewn to the body of the sweater?
12.11.2020 - 00:17DROPS Design answered:
Hi Stephanie, You will sew the shorter side of the collar to the yoke. Happy knitting!
