Where the pattern says "Work as follows from right side; p4, A3,, 13/13/15 moss st, A1, p4, then says cast o 4 new sts, work the 1st 4sts..........I'm not sure which way the 4 newly cast on stitches are worked. Is it P4, A3, 13/13/15moss (or seed ), A1, P4, then the new cast on 4 are either knit or purl?

Dear Judith, the 4 new stitches will be now the middle 4 stitches in A.2, after you have join in the round, purl the next 4 stitches (= the first 4 sts at the beg of previous row), then work A.3, moss st, A.1 as before, then over the next P4 + 4 new sts + next P4 = work A.2. Happy knitting!

I'm about to try this pattern for the first time; I've been knitting for more than 40 years , but have never tried knitting from a diagram like this, and have never come across a pattern written as a solid paragraph, so....absolutely no disrespect intended.....but far from being easy, it looks one of the most difficult patterns I've ever come across! This is going to be a real test, will let you know how I get on!

Dear Judith thank you for your note. In our experience diagrams are better, because you can see not only the actual stitch or row, but also how the stitches and rows above each otherrelate to each other, also they are universal, can be decipehered in almot any language. HERE is a DROPS lesson that might help you to use/ read diagrams more easily. Happy Knitting!

Jeg holder på å strikke a. 2 diagrammet. Jeg ser at det ikke er noen forklaring til flettingen på linje 11,13,15 og 17. Det er bare forklaring på flettingen på a. 1, a. 3 og den nederste delen av a. 3. Hvordan strikker jeg den øverste delen?

Hej Ylva, Når du har strikket A.2 en gang, så fortsætter du med A.a over de midterste 12 masker. God fornøjelse!

Thank you for answering my question. I got another one for you, I am starting the A.2 & I am on the 3rd row. What does it mean when your doing the part with the cable needle P/K1. Do it mean p & k in the same stitch. Sorry if my country show something else before, I just noticed this. I am from Canada.

Dear Mrs Davis, when working the cables you will have to work the stitches on the side of the cable either P or K depending on the next row in diagram. The stitches on either side of the cable are purled and the stitches in the middle of the cables are worked in moss stitch, ie either K or P. Happy knitting!

In the graph you make the 1st cable on the 5th row. Then you do 3 rows, so I go back to the beginning & do 4 more rows before I do another cable. So that would be 7 rows before another cable. Waiting to hear back from you before I continue on.
13.08.2019 - 03:39DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Davis, you are right, there should be then 7 rows between each cable in A.1 and A.3. Happy knitting!

What weight is this yarn? I have both fingering and DK weight yak wool, but your yarn converter doesn’t say how heavy this is. My DK weight is a 4-ply. Thanks!

I have always had trouble reading the Drops patterns because they are all written in one paragraph. However, I tried picking up the wording of the pattern and dropping it into a word file, and was able to increase the line height and put paragraphs where I wanted them, and this worked perfectly. Such an interesting pattern.
