Update to my comment from yesterday. My error...the stitches in the stripe pattern are tc in American English and not dc as I originally stated.
03.06.2022 - 12:18In response to Lupe Vasquez's question from 8/2021, there should be a chain 1 between the 3rd single treble, which is actually a dc in US terms, and the next dc group. The response says that there should be 3 chains between each, which I found to be inaccurate when following the pattern. The directions need to be corrected online for Round 1 of the Stripe Pattern.
02.06.2022 - 15:05Sto realizzando questo poncho. Ho bisogno di un chiarimento. Quando si realizza il 3 giro e i seguenti viene detto che occorre aumentare con 2 gruppi di m.a.d. A che punto si aumenta? Grazie

Buonasera Roberta, da quel punto in avanti gli aumenti sono sulla punta davanti e su quella dietro. Buon lavoro!
22.05.2022 kl. 22:24Mod. "a summer of 69" Buonasera, ho fatti 14 quadrati e ho iniziato dal Quadrato 7 ho fatto 3 sequenze+2 gruppi di m.a.d.+1 AUM. e così uso 4 quadrati, poi faccio ancora 6 sequenze e così uso 6 quadrati. Adesso rimangono 2 quadrati, ma dovrei fare ancora 3 sequenze+1 gr. di M.A.D nei 2 seguenti archi e 1 Gr. di M.A.D nell'angolo. Faccio sicuramente qualche errore, potete aiutarmi? Grazie Roberta Baldini

Buonasera Roberta, quale taglia sta lavorando? Buon lavoro!
07.05.2022 kl. 17:25I have a question about the instructions for the NECK EDGE. What happens when I come to the "V"? Do I skip the treble in the seam and do 3 treble in the "V"?
28.07.2021 - 21:50DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Vasquez, work between the squares the same way around, ie: 1 tr in the first square, 1 tr in the seam and 1 tr in next granny square corner, and 1 tr-group in each of the 2 ch-spaces. Happy crocheting!
29.07.2021 kl. 09:08For the summer of 69 poncho. Stripe pattern instructions, round 1; should there be a ch1 between the 3rd single Treble and the next Tr-group
13.07.2021 - 20:22DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Vasquez, in US-English terminology, you should have 4 dc-groups (each 3 dc) with 3 chains between each - make sure to read appropriate English terminology (edit language by scrolling down the top down menu below the photo). Happy crocheting!
15.07.2021 kl. 09:10I am making the "a summer of 69 poncho", size medium. The instructions say the measurements for the granny square is 3 1/8 inches x 3 1/8 inche and for a medium there should be a total of 12 squares. This seems to be very small. Are these measurements for an adult or a child?
08.07.2021 - 04:28DROPS Design answered:
Dear Lupe, the measuremens for adult sizes, The squares are just for the neckline, the res of the poncho is crocheted from there, down. Happy Stitching!
08.07.2021 kl. 09:08Ik ben de poncho in maat XS/S aan het maken. Nu heb ik de 10 granny's gehaakt en wil deze aan elkaar naaien. Klopt het dan dat de granny's geen vierkant vormen als je ze aan elkaar naait, maar een rechthoek? Bij de andere maten vormen de granny's volgens mij wel een vierkant. En in maat XS/S krijg je dan geen gelijke punten?
24.07.2019 - 08:54DROPS Design answered:
Dag Nora,
Je naait de granny's aan elkaar zoals aangegeven op het schema, waardoor je een soort amandelvorm krijgt, waarvan de punten op de voor- en achterkant van de poncho komen. Deze vorm is bij alle maten zo.
