09.11.2022 - 08:27Jeg har brugt 3 nøgler sort og ikke 2 som der står. Er der fejl i opskriften? Har overholdt strikkefastheden.
06.11.2022 - 09:14DROPS Design answered:
Hei Joan Denne snømannen har blitt strikket mye de siste 6-7 årene, men vi har ingen tilbakemelding på at det er for lite sort garn. Strikkefastheten i oppskriften er oppgitt i rillestrikk, mens toppen av luen og ermene strikkes i glattstrikk (da går det litt mindre garn enn om det er blitt strikket i rillestrikk). mvh DROPS Design

Liebe Frau Bischoff, so groß haben wir leider keine, aber hier finden Sie einigen, vielleicht können Ihnen diese Modelle inspirieren. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
03.11.2021 - 07:42I am making the knitted Drops snowman with hat & scarf. I need to know how big a “regular” plastic plate is. Thank you in advance for providing me with the answer. Susan
23.12.2019 - 03:31DROPS Design answered:
Dear Susan, a "regular" plastic plate is about the size of an average dinner plate, but you should just use a plate that would fit into the bottom of your snowman. Happy Knitting!

Dag Hilde,
Nee, hier is helaas alleen een breipatroon van.
07.12.2019 - 10:40Modell nr ee-519\r\nHei, har strikket 20 cm på snømannen som det står. (Deretter fortsettes det med riller over alle m til arb måler 20 cm (avpass at neste p er fra retten).) hvordan gjør jeg dette? Kutter jeg av tråden og beg på nytt på rettsida, eller? Da blir det jo to omg med rett over hverandre og ikke rillestrikk? Ser frem til svar

21.11.2016 - 15:16Guten Tag Ich habe den Boden gestrickt gem. Anleitung jedoch nur mit einem drittel der maschenangabe, da ich den schnemann nich so gross haben will. Nun hat mein boden die form eines dreiecks und ich weiss nicht, wie ich diesen zusammennähen soll, dass es einen schönen runden boden gibt. Danke für ihre hilfe. Lg

Liebe Diana, das ist von hier aus schwierig zu sagen, wir können nur weiterhelfen, wenn Sie genau nach unseren Anleitungen arbeiten. Grundsätzlich sollten Sie eher ein dünneres Garn nehmen, wenn Sie Figur verkleinern möchten, dann bleiben die Proportionen besser erhalten.
