Hallo, ich wüsste gern, ob ich das Modell my honey alternativ mit Love you #9 oder Safran stricken kann. Die Maschenproben passen, und ich könnte dann doch mit der gleichen Maschenzahl Arbeiten, oder? Und wo liegt der Unterschied außer der Lauflänge bei den alternativen Garnen? Kann ich bei Nichtgefallen das Garn auch zurücksenden? Lieben Dank vorab für eine Info :)

Liebe Frau Stegemann, gerne können Sie DROPS Loves You #9 oder Safran anstatt Alpaca stricken - benutzen Sie den Garnumrechner, so bekommen Sie die neue Garnmenge. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
15.06.2022 kl. 14:47Er i gang med str. 3-4 år. Synes ærmerne bliver for snævre og alt for lange!
05.05.2022 - 11:48I don't understand what to do with the stitches placed on a stitch holder on the fronts. See below "insert 14-14-14-14-22 sts towards mid front on a stitch holder. Then cast off for neck every other row as follows: 2 sts 4 times, and 1 st 4 times – work the sts that do not fit A-1 in stocking st. After all cast offs, 24-24-32-32-32 sts remain on shoulder. Cast off when piece measures 40-43-47-49-51 cm."

Dear Mrs Humphreys, these stitches will be worked afterwards for the neck edge, when you will pick up 74 to 94 sts around neck, this number includes the stitches slipped on a stitch holder on both front pieces. Happy knitting!
08.12.2021 kl. 08:05Stickar children 23-19. När jag kommer till 5.e raden under " kofta", så står det-...från rätsidan: 5 rätstm, 1rm...Betyder det att jag ska sticka 6 räta maskor? Eller vad är det för skillnad på "rätstm " och "rm " Hälsningar Annica
25.11.2021 - 14:24DROPS Design answered:
Hej Annica. När vi skriver rätst. m så ska du sticka de maskorna räta på både rätsidan och avigsidan. När vi skriver rm så stickar du maskan rät på rätsidan och avig på avigsidan. Mvh DROPS Design
26.11.2021 kl. 10:47Habe die Jacke für meine 8 Jährige Enkelin mit Drops baby Merino gestrickt. Ist super toll geworden. Vielen Dank für die tolle Anleitung.
21.11.2021 - 09:39Jag undrar hur jag ska göra när jag plockar upp maskorna för halskanten. Stickar koftan i minsta storleken och ska då enligt mönstret sticka upp 74 maskor. 14m per sida är på garnet och jag har räknat bakstyckets maskor till 40m, det blir totalt 68m, vilket lämnar bara 6 maskor för de sneda kanterna på framstyckena. Ska jag alltså inte plocka varje maska på bakstycket? Hur tätt ska jag plocka så att det blir snyggt?
30.09.2021 - 20:22I need to know how to increase 50 stitches to the 250 on the needle. I don’t seem to find the magic number to make even amount to increase across the 250. I have left e-mail address below. Thank you.

See answer below.
30.08.2021 kl. 08:08I have knitted to the point where I need to increase 50 stitches on needle of 250 sets. However, I cannot seem to find the right way to increase. Can you advise, please. This is pattern #23-19, My Honey, 12 year size.

Dear Sasafrass, look at this lesson, it explains how to increase stitches evenly on a row. Happy knitting!
30.08.2021 kl. 08:08Hallo bei der Jacke muss man nach 24 cm eine krausrippe stricken und dabei 34 Maschen aufnehmen. Dadurch wird die Jacke ja noch größer. Bei der Maßskizze wird die Jacke nach oben schmäler. Stimmt das, dass man soviel Maschen aufnehmen muss? Freundliche Grüße
16.03.2021 - 23:55DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Birgit, ja es stimmt so, man muss zunehmen und dann A.1 stricken, die Maschenanzahl muss vergrössert werden um die gewünschte Breite zu bekommen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
17.03.2021 kl. 08:30Hallo , ik denk dat ik ondertussen heb gevonden wat mijn probleem was met die " 14 steken op een hulpdraad" : ik veronderstel dat ik deze mee moet opnemen om de halsboord te breien...niet ?
