Hi. I’m afraid I have another question… so I’ve now finished the Ferry Cross jumper and I’m pleased with the result. I would like to know if I can block the garment (I used drops Alpaca) using damp cloth and iron. If not which would be the best method to use. Thank you so much for all the help you have given me.

Dear Avril, some customers block, some other never block, so it's up to you, but remember you always should follow the instructions on the label - see shadecard or even more - and do not hesitate to contact your DROPS store for even more tipps and help. Enjoy your jumper!

Hi. I’m about to start the yoke, please can you advise if the beginning of the round is centre back or under the sleeve. Thank you Avril

Hi Avril, The beginning of the round is mid-back. Happy knitting!

I am starting to knit Ferry Cross for my daughter. She would like it to be longer than stated in the pattern. Please could you confirm that to increase the overall length I should knit the extra centimetres before the first decreases. Thank you

Hi Avril, The best way to increase the length is to add the cms before starting the decreases, as you say. Happy knitting!

Bonjour, . J'ai tricoté la taille S. L'encolure mesure les 16cm indiqués sur le schéma Si on la compare à la photo , elle est beaucoup plus montante et plus étroite. En utilisant la méthode de rabattage préconisée dans les vidéos explicatives, il est impossible d'enfiler le pull qui d'après mes calculs est adapté à 50cm de tour de tête sans l'élargissement dû à l'élasticité de la laine. Que me conseillez vous de faire?.
04.01.2021 - 10:14DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Louise, essayez de tricoter les côtes avec les aiguilles 3 pour voir si vous pouvez conserver la circonférence souhaitée, et rappelez-vous de bien rabattre souplement. Bon tricot!

Bonsoir. Je suis à la partie ré-hausse encolure dos et je ne comprends pas du tout. Après mon diagramme A3 j'ai mes 100m. Est-ce que je dois continuer un tour en Jersey jusqu'au milieu du dos et à combien de mailles ça fait au milieu dos ? Je ne comprends vraiment pas du tout cette explication 😕 Merci de votre réponse 😊
30.12.2020 - 21:25DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Boucher, pour bien définir le milieu dos, posez votre ouvrage bien à plat, et marquez le milieu dos. Tricotez ensuite jusqu'au milieu dos et commencez la réhausse. Bon tricot!

Bonjour Je viens de tricoter déjà une manche et je viens de me rendre compte que je viens de faire une erreur. Les 8 m qu'il faut rabattre milieu sous la manche, est ce que c'est tout au début qu'il faut rabattre ? Car moi je l'ai fait à partir de la 34eme maille. Je ne comprends pas très bien.
11.12.2020 - 11:27DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Stéphanie, les 8 mailles à rabattre sous la manche doivent être au milieu sous la manche, ce sont les mailles qui seront contre les 8 rabattues pour l'emmanchure dos/devant, autrement dit, pour la manche, on va rabattre les 4 dernières mailles du tour + les 4 premières mailles du début du tour. Bon tricot!

Bonjour. Je suis actuellement en train de faire ce pull et j'en suis aux manches. J'ai un énorme soucis avec les aiguilles doubles pointes je n'y arrive pas du tout avec 5 aiguilles. Est ce que c'est possible de répartir les mailles sur 3 aiguilles ? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse
23.11.2020 - 16:36DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Stéfanie, vous pouvez tout à fait répartir les mailles sur uniquement 3 aiguilles et tricoter avec la 4ème, avez-vous pensé à la technique du magic loop? C'est une alternative aux doubles pointes qui a ses adeptes. Bon tricot!

Bonjour , les diminutions 2 doivent elles être réparties symétriquement par rapport au marqueur indiquant la séparation entre les 2 parties? Dans votre explication il est indiqué de faire à 5 mailles du marqueur une diminution, nous nous retrouvons donc à 4 mailles du marqueur. On nous dit ensuite de tricoter 6 mailles cela nous amène à 2 mailles du marqueur et de diminuer . Au final il y a une diminution à 4 mailles du marqueur et une à 2. Est ce correct?
30.10.2020 - 08:48DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Louise, les diminutions-2 sont symétriques par rapport au marqueur, commencez 5 mailles avant le marqueur, tricotez 2 mailles ensemble à l'endroit, 3 mailles endroit, glissez le marqueur, tricotez 3 mailles endroit, puis glissez 1 maille à l'endroit, tricotez 1 maille endroit et passez la maille glissée par-dessus la maille tricoté = vous avez 6 mailles entre les 2 diminutions, 3 de chaque côté du marqueur. Bon tricot!

Knitted DROPS jumper with round yoke and Nordic pattern in "Alpaca". Size: S - XXXL.
DROPS 165-14 |
|||||||||||||||||||
DECREASE TIP-1: To calculate how often dec should be done, use the total no of sts on round (e.g. 248 sts) and divide by no of dec to be done (e.g. 64) = 3.88. I.e. in this example K approx. every 3rd and 4th st tog. DECREASE TIP-2 (applies to sides of body): Dec 1 st on each side of marker as follows: Beg 5 sts before marker and K 2 tog, K 6 (marker is in the middle of these sts), slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso. INCREASE TIP (applies to sides of body): Inc 1 st on each side of markers as follows: Beg 3 st before marker, 1 YO, K 6, 1 YO. On next round K YOs twisted to avoid holes. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3 – choose diagram for correct size. Work entire pattern in stocking st. KNITTING TIP: To avoid the knitting tension to tighten when working pattern, it is important not to tighten the strands on back side of piece. Switch to a higher needle no when working pattern if the pattern is somewhat tight. ---------------------------------------------------------- BODY: Worked in the round on circular needle. Cast on 248-272-296-336-376-408 sts on circular needle size 2.5 mm with light grey. K 1 round. Then work rib = K 2/P 2 for 4 cm. K 1 round while AT THE SAME TIME dec 64-68-72-84-96-100 sts evenly - READ DECREASE TIP-1 = 184-204-224-252-280-308 sts. Insert 1 marker in each side = 92-102-112-126-140-154 sts between markers on front and back piece. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm and work in stocking st. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION When piece measures 8 cm, dec 1 st on each side of both markers - READ DECREASE TIP-2 (= 4 sts dec). Repeat dec every 3 cm a total of 3 times in all sizes = 172-192-212-240-268-296 sts. When piece measures 20 cm, inc 1 st on each side of both markers - READ INCREASE TIP (= 4 sts inc). Repeat inc every 2½-2½-2½-4½-4½-4½ cm 5-5-5-4-4-4 times in total = 192-212-232-256-284-312 sts. When piece measures 32-33-34-35-36-37 cm (inc should now be done), work pattern in the round according to diagram A.1 - READ KNITTING TIP. After A.1 K 1 round with off white as follows: Cast off 4-4-5-5-6-6 sts for armhole, work 88-98-106-118-130-144 sts (= front piece), cast off 8-8-10-10-12-12 sts for armhole, work 88-98-106-118-130-144 sts (= back piece) and cast off the last 4-4-5-5-6-6 sts for armhole (piece measures approx. 36-37-38-39-40-41 cm). Put piece aside and knit the sleeves. SLEEVE: Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 64-64-68-68-72-72 sts on double pointed needles size 2.5 mm with light grey. K 1 round. Then work rib = K 2/P 2 for 4 cm. K 1 round while AT THE SAME TIME dec 8-8-8-8-10-10 sts evenly = 56-56-60-60-62-62 sts. Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm and work in stocking st. When piece measures 8-11-10-10-7-10 cm, inc 2 sts mid under sleeve. Repeat inc every 4-3-3-2½-2½-2 cm 10-12-12-14-15-17 times in total = 76-80-84-88-92-96 sts. When piece measures 44-44-43-43-42-42 cm (NOTE: Shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of wider shoulders - and inc should now be done), work pattern according to diagram A.1. After A.1 K 1 round with off white while casting off the middle 8-8-10-10-12-12 sts under sleeve = 68-72-74-78-80-84 sts remain on needle (piece now measures approx. 48-48-47-47-46-46 cm). Put piece aside and knit another sleeve. YOKE: Slip sleeves on to same circular needle as body where armholes were cast off (without working them first) = 312-340-360-392-420-456 sts. K 1 round with off white while dec 8-4-8-8-4-8 sts evenly = 304-336-352-384-416-448 sts. Then work pattern in the round according to diagram A.2 (choose diagram for correct size and beg on round marked with arrow in diagram for correct size). AT THE SAME TIME on round marked with arrow 1 in diagram dec 38-42-44-48-52-56 sts evenly (i.e. K every 7th and 8th st tog) = 266-294-308-336-364-392 sts. On round marked with arrow 2 in diagram dec 38-42-44-48-52-56 sts evenly again (i.e. K every 6th and 7th st tog) = 228-252-264-288-312-336 sts. On round marked with arrow 3 in diagram dec 4-12-8-0-8-0 sts evenly. SIZE S: K every 56th and 57th st tog, SIZE M: K every 20th and 21st st tog, SIZE L: K every 32nd and 33rd st tog, SIZE XXL: K every 38th and 39th st tog, (do not dec in size XL + XXXL) = 224-240-256-288-304-336 sts. Continue pattern and dec as shown in diagram = 196-210-224-252-266-294 sts on needle before arrow 4. On round marked with arrow 4 in diagram dec 28-30-32-36-38-42 sts evenly (i.e. K every 6th and 7th st tog) = 168-180-192-216-228-252 sts. Finish A.2 (finish after round marked with arrow for correct size). Then work pattern in the round according to diagram A.3 (choose diagram for correct size). AT THE SAME TIME on round marked with arrow 5 in diagram dec 16-12-8-16-20-28 sts evenly as follows: SIZE S: K alternately every 9th and 10th st and every 10th and 11th st tog, SIZE M: K every 14th and 15th st tog, SIZE L: K every 23rd and 24th st tog, SIZE XL: K alternately every 12th and 13th st and every 13th and 14th st tog, SIZE XXL: K alternately every 10th and 11th st and every 11th and 12th st tog, SIZE XXXL: K every 8th and 9th st tog = 152-168-184-200-208-224 sts. Continue pattern. On round marked with arrow 6 in diagram dec 24-32-32-40-40-48 sts evenly. SIZE S: K every 5th and 6th st tog, SIZE M + XL + XXL: K approx. every 4th and 5th st tog, SIZE L: K alternately every 4th and 5th st and every 5th and 6th st tog, SIZE XXXL: K alternately every 3th and 4th st and every 4th and 5th st tog = 128-136-152-160-168-176 sts. On round marked with arrow 7 in diagram dec 28-36-44-52-52-60 sts evenly. SIZE S: K alternately every 3rd and 4th st and every 4th and 5th st tog, SIZE M + L: K approx. alternately every 2nd and 3rd st and every 3rd and 4th st tog, Size XL + XXL + XXXL: K approx. every 2nd and 3rd st tog = 100-100-108-108-116-116 sts remain on needle.
