Thanks a lot. I noticed my mistake. I started from down to cap. Thanks again. Your description is always clear. Need a deep analysis. Can I share pics of designs which I made from granstudio.
09.03.2023 - 07:23Hello. I have completed front neck and back in one piece. I really understand your pattern very well. But now I am stuck with the sleeves. It's issue of the length. I am making size 6-8. As I already mentioned in my previous email. Hope you will guide me at Your earliest. Thanks

Dear Mrs Akhtar, it might be a question of tension in height, after the first 5 rows on sleeve (when you get 37 sts), piece should be approx. 6,25 cm / 2.46 inches. Try with a smaller crochet hook size or try to avoid elongating your stitches in height. Happy crocheting!
08.03.2023 kl. 09:32Hello. I am following your pattern for size 6-8. I have issue in length of sleeves.after 37 chains length is already 10 cm /4 inch. How much should I continue double chrochet in each stitches before decrease

Buonasera Carmela, purtroppo non ci è possibile adattare le spiegazioni alle singole esigenze, ma può rivolgersi al suo rivenditore DROPS di fiducia. Buon lavoro!
17.09.2022 kl. 19:22For fronts, I'm making 6/8. Do I place the marker into the 20th stitch? It's confusing because it says "after" . Does that mean the marker goes into the 21st stitch?
06.07.2022 - 14:16DROPS Design answered:
Dear Wendy, insert the markers between 2 stitches: after the 20th stitch at the beginning of the row and when 20 sts remain at the end of the row so that you will have: 20 sts, marker, 28 sts, marker, 20 sts (= 68 sts in total). Happy crocheting!
06.07.2022 kl. 14:23I'm making size 6/8 and the front piece instructions have me completely confused about placing the markers. I have 34 stiches at the top and bottom with 68 stitches between them down the sides. I have no idea what you mean by placing markers 20 stitches in from "each side". Starting from where? I'm completely baffled.

Dear Wendy, fold your circle double so that both armholes matches and insert a marker on top and bottom of circle, then unfold the circle and count 34 sts on the top towards neck (17 sts on each side of the marker you just inserted) and insert now 2 new markers to mark these 34 sts. Repeat on the bottom = there are now 4 markers with 68 sts on each side for the front pieces and 34 sts on top for neck and at the bottom of back piece - you will now work over these 68 sts separately the "oval" part in the chart. Happy crocheting!
06.07.2022 kl. 09:07Dzień dobry,\r\nChciałam zrobić ten sweterek dla 4 letniej córki. O ile tył sweterka był dla mnie prosty, o tyle nie wiem jak zabrać sie do szydelkowania przodów. \r\nPrzeczytałam wszystkie komentarze do tego wzoru w j.polskim i angielskim. Niestety nadal nie rozumiem. Jak mam dodawać słupki przy markerach i jednocześnie kontynuować zamykanie oczek? Proszę o pomoc, jakieś łatwiejsze \"łopatologiczne\" wytłumaczenie.
07.04.2021 - 13:37DROPS Design answered:
Witaj Dario, na każdym przodzie będziesz dodawać po 1 sł w miejscu 2 markerów (2 dodane sł w rzędzie)> dzięki temu przód będzie się lekko rozszerzał. Jednocześnie zamykasz po 1 słupku na końcach wg wskazówki ZAMYKANIE OCZEK 1, aby brzegi były lekko zaokrąglone. Powodzenia!
08.04.2021 kl. 17:02Can you please give full instruction on first 2 rows of the fronts. I don't understand how you can Inc and Dec at both ends??
10.03.2021 - 23:19DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Anderson, insert 2 markers as stated and work now over 60-68-74-83 sts for the front piece increasing 1 stitch at each marker on every row at the same time decrease as explained under DECREASE TIP-1: work trebles increasing 2 sts until 3 sts remain, work then: *1 htr, 1 dc, 1 sl st, turn, skip sl st, work 1 sl st, 1 dc, 1 htr, continue with tr increasing 1 st at both markers until 3 sts remain*, repeat now from *. You will decrease on each side to make the rounded edge for the front piece. Happy crocheting!
11.03.2021 kl. 08:32I'm sorry but I'm finding your pattern very confusing, not clear what you do in each row especially for the two fronts 😩🤪🤪
10.03.2021 - 19:15The way you wrote this pattern is no help. I have crocheted since I was 9 years old. I got to round 11 and then you say just increase as necessary. Well, if you are looking for a pattern, you want instructions! Not just do what you think. Very disappointed. Going to have to pull out the yarn for about 3 or 4 hours of work and start over with a GOOD pattern.

Dear Mrs Wood, The DROPS patterns are knitted and crocheted by thousands and thousands of people around the world. We understand however that in certain countries, with different knitting/crochet traditions than Scandinavia, our patterns might be written in a way that differs from what some are used to. But of course we want everyone to understand our patterns, so that’s why we have created an extensive library of tutorial videos as well as step by step lessons that explain how to follow the techniques we use and how to read the diagrams in our patterns. Give them a try!
