Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

The knitting tension is very individual; some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size only serve as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests.

The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

The required amount of yarn is provided in grams, eg: 450 g. To calculate how many balls you’ll need you first need to know how many grams are in 1 ball (25g, 50g or 100g). This information is available if you click on the individual yarn quality on our pages. Divide the amount required with the amount of each ball. For example, if each ball is 50g (the most common amount), the calculation will be as follows: 450 / 50 = 9 balls.

The important thing when changing from one yarn to another is that the knitting/crochet tension remains the same. This is so that the measurements of the finished piece will be the same as on the sketch provided. It is easier to achieve the same knitting tension using yarns from the same yarn group. It is also possible to work with multiple strands of a thinner yarn to achieve the knitting tension of a thicker one. Please try our yarn converter. We recommend you to always work a test swatch.

Please NOTE: when changing yarn the garment might have a different look and feel to the garment in the photo, due to individual properties and qualities of each yarn.

See DROPS lesson: Can I use a different yarn than the one mentioned in the pattern?

All our yarns are categorised into yarn groups (from A to F) according to thickness and knitting tension – group A contains the thinnest yarns and group F the thickest. This makes it easier for you to find alternative yarns to our patterns, should you wish to switch yarn. All yarns within the same group have a similar knitting tension and can easily replace each other. However, different yarn qualities have different structures and properties which will give the finished work a unique look and feel.

Click here for an overview of the yarns in each yarn group

At the top of all our patterns you’ll find a link to our yarn converter, which is a helpful tool should you wish to use a different yarn than suggested. By filling in the yarn quality you wish to replace, the amount (in your size) and number of strands, the converter will present good alternative yarns with the same knitting tension. Additionally it will tell you how much you’ll require in the new qualities and whether you’ll need to work with multiple strands. Most skeins are 50g (some are 25g or 100g).

If the pattern is worked with multiple colours, every colour will have to be converted separately. Similarly, if the pattern is worked with several strands of different yarns (for example 1 strand Alpaca and 1 strand Kid-Silk) you will have to find alternatives for each, individually.

Click here to see our yarn converter

Since different yarns have different qualities and textures we have chosen to keep the original yarn in our patterns. However, you can easily find options among our available qualities by using our yarn converter, or simply pick a yarn from the same yarn group.

It is possible that some retailers still have discontinued yarns in stock, or that someone has a few skeins at home that they would like to find patterns for.

The yarn converter will provide both alternative yarn as well as required amount in the new quality.

If you think it's hard to decide what size to make, it can be a good idea to measure a garment you own already and like the size of. Then you can pick the size by comparing those measures with the ones available in the pattern's size chart.

You'll find the size chart at the bottom of the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read size chart

The needle size provided in the pattern serves only as a guide, the important thing is to follow the knitting tension. And since knitting tension is very individual, you will have to adjust the needle size to ensure that YOUR tension is the same as in the pattern – maybe you’ll have to adjust 1, or even 2 needle sizes, up or down to achieve the correct tension. For this, we recommend that you work test swatches.

Should you work with a different knitting tension than the one provided, the measurements of the finished garment might deviate from the measurement sketch.

See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge

See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatch

Working a garment top-down provides more flexibility and room for personal adjustment. For example it is easier to try the garment on while working, as well as making adjustments to length of yoke and shoulder caps.

The instructions are carefully explaining every step, in the correct order. Diagrams are adjusted to the knitting direction and are worked as usual.

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is read from bottom to top, from right to left. 1 square = 1 stitch.

When working back and forth, every other row is worked from the right side and every other row is worked from the wrong side. When working from the wrong side, the diagram will have to be worked reversed: from left to right, knit stitches are purled, purl stitches are knit etc.

When working in the round every round is worked from the right side and the diagram are worked from right to left on all rounds.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

The diagram depicts all rows/rounds, and every stitch seen from the right side. It is worked from bottom to top, from right to left.

When working back and forth every other row is worked from the right side: from right to left and every other row is worked from the wrong side: from left to right.

When working in the round, every row in the diagram are worked from the right side, from right to left.

When working a circular diagram you start in the middle and work your way outwards, counter clockwise, row by row.

The rows usually start with a given number of chain stitches (equivalent to the height of the following stitch), this will either be depicted in the diagram or explained in the pattern.

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

Instructions for working several diagrams after each other on the same row/round, will often be written like so: “work A.1, A.2, A.3 a total of 0-0-2-3-4 times". This means you work A.1 once, then A.2 is worked once, and A.3 is repeated (in width) the number of times provided for your size – in this case like so: S = 0 times, M = 0 times, L=2 times, XL= 3 times and XXL = 4 times.

The diagrams are worked as usual: begin with the first row in A.1, then work the first row in A.2 etc.

See DROPS lesson: How to read knitting diagrams

See DROPS lesson: How to read crochet diagrams

The total width of the garment (from wrist-to-wrist) will be larger in the larger sizes, despite the actual sleeves being shorter. The larger sizes have longer sleeve caps and wider shoulders, so there will be a good fit in all sizes.

The measurement sketch/schematic drawing provides information regarding the full length of the garment. If it’s a jumper or a jacket the length is measured from the highest point on the shoulder (usually closest to the neckline), and straight down to the bottom of the garment. It is NOT measured from the tip of shoulder. Similarly, the length of yoke is measured from the highest point on the shoulder and down to where yoke is split into body and sleeves.

See DROPS lesson: How to read a schematic drawing

Diagrams are often repeated on the round or in height. 1 repeat is the diagram the way it appears in the pattern. If it says to work 5 repeats of A.1 in the round, then you work A.1 a total of 5 times after/next to each other in the round. If it says to work 2 repeats of A.1 vertically/in height you work the entire diagram once, then begin again at the start and work the entire diagram one more time.

Chain stitches are slightly narrower than other stitches and to avoid working the cast-on edge too tight, we simply chain more stitches to begin with. The stitch count will be adjusted on the following row to fit the pattern and measurement sketch.

The rib edge is more elastic and will contract slightly compared to, for example, stocking stitch. By increasing before the rib edge, you avoid a visible difference in width between the rib edge and the rest of the body.

It’s very easy to cast off too tightly, and by making yarn overs while casting off (and simultaneously casting these off) you avoid a too tight cast off edge.

See DROPS video: How to bind off with yarn overs (yo)

To achieve an even increase (or decrease) you can increase on, for example: every 3rd and 4th row alternately, like so: work 2 rows and increase on the 3rd row, work 3 rows and increase on the 4th. Repeat this until the increase is complete.

See DROPS lesson: Increase or decrease 1 st on every 3rd and 4th row alternately

Should you prefer to work in the round instead of back and forth, you may of course adjust the pattern. You’ll need to add steeks mid-front (usually 5 stitches), and follow the instructions. When you would normally turn and work from the wrong side, simply work across the steek and continue in the round. At the end you’ll cut the piece open, pick up stitches to work bands, and cover the cut edges.

See DROPS video: How to knit steeks and cut open

Should you prefer to work back and forth instead of in the round, you may of course adjust the pattern so you work the pieces separately and then assemble them at the end. Divide the stitches for the body in 2, add 1 edge stitch in each side (for sewing) and work the front and back pieces separately.

See DROPS lesson: Can I adapt a pattern for circular needles into straight needles?

Pattern repeats can vary slightly in the different sizes, in order to get the correct proportions. If you’re not working the exact same size as the garment in the photo, yours might deviate slightly. This has been carefully developed and adjusted so that the complete impression of the garment is the same in all sizes.

Make sure to follow instructions and diagrams for your size!

If you have found a pattern you like which is available in women’s size it’s not very difficult to convert it to men’s size. The biggest difference will be the length of sleeves and body. Start working on the women size that you think would fit across the chest. The additional length will be worked right before you cast off for the armhole/sleeve cap. If the pattern is worked top-down you can add the length right after the armhole or before the first decrease on sleeve.

Regarding additional yarn amount, this will depend on how much length you add, but it is better with a skein too many than too few.

All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.

Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding

Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:

1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.

2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.

3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.

4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

Pilling is a natural process that happens to even the most exclusive of fibers. It's a natural sign of wear and tear that is hard to avoid, and that is most visible in high friction areas of your garment like a sweater's arms and cuffs.

You can make your garment look as new by removing the pilling, using a fabric comb or a pill/lint remover.

Eg forstår ikkje kva som er meint med dette? Om eg strikker 2 omg til med raglanøkning,får eg for mange masker. Og om det betyr at eg skal strikke uten å øke, skal eg fortsatt følge mønsteret? For då òg får eg for mange masker, før eg tar det over på ein tråd.

Hei Sol. Hvilken str. strikker du og hvor i diagrammet er du når du er ferdig med de 12 omgangene med raglan økninger? Når du er ferdig med raglanøkningne, strikkes det 2 omganger til uten raglansøkninger og om du da er på en omgang der A.1 består av 3 masker, strikk 1 omgang til der A.1 kun består av 2 masker (evnt. 2 masker+kast (kaster telles ikke som egen maske). Får du da riktig maskeantall? mvh DROPS Design

Dear Mary, the new stitches increased on raglan will be worked in pattern, this means the first 2 times (1st + 2nd increase) you increase stitches you will purl (seen from RS, this means knit from WS) the new stitches, then the next 2 times (3rd + 4th increase) you will knit (seen from RS this means purl from WS) the new stitches, then the next 2 increases (5th + 6th increase) will be purled, the next 2 increases (7th + 8th increase) will be knitted and so on. That way, the ribbing will continue. Happy knitting!

Hello, I am stuck in the back piece here: K 1 row from RS while AT THE SAME TIME dec (8) 8-8-8-10 (10-12) sts evenly = (16) 16-16-16-18 (18-20) sts remain on needle. K 10 rows (= 5 ridges) and loosely cast off with K from WS. How am I supposed to decrease evenly while maintaining the 2*2 ribbing

DROPS Design answered:

Hi Jennifer, The ribbing is finished when you get this far (so it doesn't matter where you decrease, but neatest if you either P2 together in a purled section or K2 together in a knitted section). After decreasing, you continue with 10 rows of knit before casting off. Happy crafting!

Hola no entiendo cómo hay que hacer esta parte: Unir la labor con los pts de la cenefa derecha hacia arriba (de modo que las cenefas estén sobrepuestas y los ojales se encuentran en el borde). Trabajar 1 vta en redondo , AL MISMO TIEMPO tejer juntos de derecho los 6 pts de la cenefa derecha y la cenefa izquierda de 2 en 2

DROPS Design answered:

Hola Ana, tenemos que disminuir los pts de la cenefa de la parte izquierda del delantero trabajándolos juntos de derecho con los pts de la cenefa en la parte derecha del delantero. Pasamos los pts de la cenefa izquierda a una aguja auxiliar y los colocamos detrás de la labor. Trabajamos toda la vuelta como antes y, cuando llegamos al 1º punto de la cenefa derecha, trabajar juntos el punto de la cenefa derecha con el 6º punto de la cenefa izquierda, después el 2º pt de la cenefa derecha con el 5º pt de la cenefa izquierda, y así sucesivamente.

I have 5 raglan lines( meaning if i followed the pattern correctly where it sais to" continue pattern for all sizes"then i have 5 stitch markers) is this correct? because now i dont know where to start the inc on raglan lines bcz i have 5 st markers. also are the markers supposed to be unevenlly spaced? i am not beginner knitter but its my first time doing raglan. it would be very useful if drops patterns could include full video tutorials. thnx

DROPS Design answered:

Dear lb, you should have only 4 raglan lines in all sizes, one between front piece/sleeve, sleeve/back piece, back piece/sleeve and sleeve/front piece - make sure you divide stitches with markers as it says for the appropriate size. Happy knitting!

Ich verstehe die Abnahme bei dem Rückenteil leider nicht. Zuerst nehme ich beidseitig in Hin-und Rückreihe je 1 Masche ab, bis ich nur noch 13 M auf der Nadel habe? (Gr. 1/3 Monate.)\r\nDanach nur noch in den Hinreihen bis ich 8M auf der Nadel habe?\r\nWas danach nicht mehr mit der Anleitung übereinstimmen würde...

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Mary, ja genau, es wird zuerst 2 Maschen (jeweils innerhalb die 3 ersten und die 3 letzten Maschen) in jeder Reihe (Hin- sowie Rückreihe) abgenommen, dann nehmen Sie 2 Maschen in jeder HinReihe = 24 M übrig in die 4 ersten Größen, dann stricken Sie 1 Hinreire nechts und gleichzeitig nehmen Sie 8 Maschen regelmäßig ab = 16 M übrig. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Når jeg strikker str 1/3 mdr. passer maskeantallet ikke med raglan, hvis der udtages maskeantal som angivet i opskriften. Jeg har så læst i et svar til en anden, at der skal være 102 masker ved raglan start… det har jeg så prøvet at lave udtag til. Når der så er taget ud 8 gange som opskriften angiver er masketalle større end de 144 masker, som skulle være efter raglanudtag…. Jeg synes det er meget ærgerligt, da opskriften bliver meget vanskelig at følge

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Jannie. I str. 1/3 mnd legger du opp 60 masker og etter forhøyningen økes det med 42 masker = 102 masker. Du øker med 8 masker hver gang det økes til raglan, og det økes 8 ganger totalt = 8 x 8 = 64 økte masker + de 102 maskene du hadde før du startet = 166 masker, men SAMTIDIG når arbeidet måler 5 cm strikkes de 12 stolpemaskene sammen til 6 masker, slik at når alle raglansøkningene er strikker er det også minsket 6 masker over stolpen = 160 masker. Og det er det maskeantallet det står i oppskriften. Maskeantallet 144 tilhører str. (prematur) og str. 0/1 mnd. mvh DROPS Design

Jag stickar i storlek 1/3mån och är enligt instruktionen klar med raglanökningarna, men mina mått stämmer inte. Mitt arbete mäter ca 7 cm nu, men i instruktionen står det att det ska mäta 8cm "från axeln". Vad är det jag ska mäta som ska vara 8cm? På bilden längst ner ser mina mått ut att stämma ganska bra.

Hei Linnea. Stemmer din strikkefasthet i høyden som er oppgitt i oppskriften (32 p i høyden = 10 cm)? Husk også at det er strikket en fornøyning. På målskisse er målene til str. 1/3 mnd ca 6+2 cm. mvh DROPS Design

Jeg strikker størrelse 1/3 mdr. men kan ikke få maskeantallet til at passe når jeg skal starte på mønster og raglan. Jeg har 86 masker, men som jeg forstår opskriften mangler der en del masker for at "få plads" til hele mønsteret

Hej Kirsten, i størrelse 1/3 måneder skal du have 102 masker på pinden :)
