Pattern instructions

NOTE: This pattern is written in American English. All measurements in charts are in cm. For conversion from inches to cm - click here. There are different terms for crocheting in American and British English. If this pattern includes crochet, click for "crochet terms" here. For this pattern in British English, please click here.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.7.
A.1 shows beginning and end of every round, work A.2 5 times in total on round.
A.3 shows beginning and end of every round, work A.4 12 times in total on round.
Work A.5/A.6/A.7 in the round - A.x shows beginning and end of every round.

CROCHET INFO:
Replace first double crochet at beginning of round with 3 chain stitches, finish with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round.

CROCHET TIP (applies to sleeve):
After last single crochet on round work 6 chain stitches and continue on to next round with 1 single crochet around next chain space (= first chain space on next round). NOTE: Mark beginning of round with 1 marker thread between last chain stitch and first single crochet on next round, move the marker thread upwards. NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO DISPLACE THE MARKER THREAD.

DECREASE TIP:
Work 1 single crochet around next chain space but wait with last pull through, work next single crochet around next chain space (do not work 6 chain stitches between single crochets), on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.
----------------------------------------------------------

JACKET WORKED IN A CIRCLE:
Chain 5 on hook size 4.5 mm/US 7 with Paris and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch.
Then work as follows: Work A.1 (the middle of A.1 shows beginning and end of every round, i.e. work from middle of A.1), A.2 5 times in total, finish with the other half of A.1. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE!
When A.1/A.2 have been worked vertically, there are 156-156-156 double crochet on last round. Piece measures approx. 30 cm / 11 3/4'' in diameter.

Then work as follows: Work A.3 (the middle of A.3 shows beginning and end of every round, i.e. work from middle of A.3), A.4 12 times in total, finish with the other half of A.3 - AT THE SAME TIME on last round increase 7 double crochet evenly (increase by working 2 double crochet in same double crochet) = 202 double crochet on round. When A.3/A.4 have been worked vertically, piece measures approx. 40 cm / 15 3/4'' in diameter. Work 1 slip stitch in each of the first 2 double crochet, next round begin from here (i.e. mid back of neck). Now work differently in the different sizes.

SIZE L/XL - XXL/XXXL:
Repeat 2nd round in A.7 AT THE SAME TIME increase as follows:
ROUND 6: Increase 6-6 chain spaces evenly (increase by working 1 single crochet, 6 chain stitches, 1 single crochet and 2 chain stitches around same chain space = 1 chain space increased) = 145-158 chain spaces.
ROUND 7 (no increase): = 145-158 chain spaces.
ROUND 8: Increase 5-6 chain spaces evenly = 150-164 chain spaces.
ROUND 9 (no increase): = 150-164 chain spaces. Cut the yarn.
ALL SIZES:
= 139-150-164 chain spaces.
Continue working only over 39-42-45 chain spaces in each side – i.e. do not work over 30-33-37 chain spaces at the top by neck and 31-33-37 chain spaces at bottom of back. Continue with explanation under left front piece.

LEFT FRONT PIECE:
= 39-42-45 chain spaces. Continue back and forth as follows:
ROW 1: Work slip stitches until middle of the first chain space, 1 single crochet, * work 6 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around next chain space *, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 single crochet around last chain space = 38-41-44 chain spaces.
Repeat 1st row 3-3-7 more times. 35-38-37 chain spaces remain at the edge of front piece. Cut the yarn.

RIGHT FRONT PIECE:
Work same way as on left front piece over 39-42-45 chain spaces in the right side. Cut the yarn.

FINISHING EDGE:
Work an edge around the entire circle as follows:
Repeat 3rd-5th round in A.7 (and A.x) with increases as follows:
ROUND 3 (no increase): I.e. around every chain space work 1 double crochet and 2 chain stitches = 147-158-180 chain spaces.
ROUND 4: Increase 15-27-18 double crochet evenly = 456-501-558 double crochet.
ROUND 5: Increase 12-27-18 double crochet evenly = 468-528-576 double crochet.
Now repeat 1st and 2nd round in A.6 (and A.x) as follows:
ROUND 1 (no increase): = 78-88-96 fans.
ROUND 2 (no increase): (39-44-48 repetitions of 13 double crochet) = 507-572-624 double crochet. Fasten off.
Circle measures approx. 51-59-63 cm / 20"-23 1/4-24 3/4" from middle mid back (= 102-118-126 cm / 40"-46 ½"-49½" in diameter in height), and approx. 58-66-77 cm / 22 3/4"-26"-30½" from middle out to the side (= 116-132-154 cm / 45 3/4"-52"-60½" in diameter in width).

SLEEVE:
Worked in the round from armhole and down, begin mid under sleeve (= 64-70-76 double crochet on armhole).
ROUND 1: READ CROCHET TIP! Work * 1 single crochet in double crochet, 6 chain stitches, skip approx. 4 double crochet *, repeat from *-* around entire armhole, there should be 15-18-21 chain spaces around armhole.
Continue to work 6 chain stitches and 1 single crochet around every chain space. When piece measures 4 cm / 1½'', decrease 1 chain space before marker thread - READ DECREASE TIP! Repeat decrease alternately on each side of marker thread every 4 cm / 1½'' 4-5-6 more times = 10-12-14 chain spaces.
When piece measures 38-39-40 cm / 15"-15 1/4"-15 3/4", work next round as follows:
Work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), work 4 double crochet around every chain space, finish with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round = 40-48-56 double crochet. Sleeve measures approx. 39-40-41 cm / 15 1/4"-15 3/4"-16 1/8". Fasten off.

Work another sleeve the same way.

1) Why is the knitting/crochet tension so important?

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

2) What are the yarn groups?

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

to top

3) Can I use a different yarn than what the pattern suggests?

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?

to top

4) How do I use the yarn converter?

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

to top

5) Why do I get the wrong knitting tension with the suggested needle size?

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

to top

6) Why is the pattern worked top-down?

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.

to top

7) Why are the sleeves shorter in larger sizes?

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.

to top

8) What is a repeat?

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.

to top

9) How do I work according to a knitting diagram?

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

to top

10) How do I work according to a crochet diagram?

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

to top

11) How do I work several diagrams simultaneously on the same row/round?

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

to top

12) Why does the piece start with more chain stitches than it’s worked with?

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.

to top

13) Why increase before the rib edge when the piece is worked top-down?

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.

to top

14) Why increase in the cast-off edge?

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 top

15) How do I increase/decrease on every 3rd and 4th row/round alternately?

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

to top

16) Why is the pattern slightly different than what I see in the photo?

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!

to top

17) How can I work a jacket in the round instead of back and forth?

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

to top

18) Can I work a jumper back and forth instead of in the round?

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?

to top

19) Why do you show discontinued yarns in the patterns?

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.

to top

20) How do I make a women’s size garment into a men’s size one?

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.

to top

21) How do I prevent a hairy garment from shedding?

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.

to top

22) Where on the garment is the length measured?

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

to top

23) How do I know how many balls of yarn I need?

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.

Het patroon vanaf a3 is niet duidelijk, moet ik de ganse toer haken of de helft en hoe moet a4 gehaakt?

DROPS Design answered:

Dag Cindy,

Je haakt eerst de eerste helft van A.3, deze begint bij het pijnt waar je het eerste stokje vervangt door 3 lossen. Dan haak je A.4 12 keer in de breedte en tot slot haakje het laatste stukje van A.3.

Hej! Har fastnat i början. Har gjort första stycket och har mycket riktigt 156 stolpar. Men när jag ska fortsätta med A.3 och A.4 ser det ut som jag ska öka 24 eller 26 maskor och då ska jag ha 202 stolpar? Hur går det till! Dessutom ska arbetet ökat med 10 cm i diameter och det handlar bara om 2 varv. Vad är det jag inte förstår?

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Åsa. Jo, du har 156 staver når du starter å hekle A.3 / A.4. På siste omgang er det 15 masker i A.3 og 15 masker i A.4 (som hekles 12 ganger = 15 x 12 = 180 masker). Så da har du 15+180 = 195 masker, og på siste omgang skal det økes 7 masker jevnt fordelt = 195 +7 = 202 staver på omgangen. Omgangene i A.3 / A.4 består av dobbeltstaver og staver = arbeidet strekker seg godt i høyden. mvh DROPS Design

Hallo zusammen, ich bin bei A6 und habe von Muster her zum Schluss ein leeres Dreieck =2 Stäbchen.. Nun soll ich in der 2. Reihe A6 24 Rapporte und 1x 7 Stäbchen häkeln wie soll ich das machen? Wenn ich das Muster häkel incl Zunahmen bleiben zum Schluss nur die 2 Luftmaachen übrig wo ich 2 Stäbchen häkeln kann...??? Ich habe dann nur 317 Maschen...

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Frau Riedmeier, über die 294 Maschen wird A.6 24,5 Mal wiederholt, über die ersten 24 Rapporte nehmen Sie jeweils 1 Stäbchen zu und über die letzten 6 Maschen nehmen Sie 1 Stäbchen zu = 25 Zunahmen insgesamt + 294 = 319 Stäbchen. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Je désire réaliser la veste au crochet modèle w632. Comment définir la taille car les mesures données sur le diagramme sont difficiles à rapprocher d un tour de poitrine. Pour un tour de poitrine de 95 cm quelle taille dois je choisir ? Merci pour votre réponse. Très cordialement

15.03.2023 - 14:18

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Delorme, mesurez un vêtement similaire que vous avez et dont vous aimez la forme pour comparer ainsi la largeur dos (entre les emmanchures) soit 38-40-42 cm, ainsi que les différentes autres longueurs et largeurs. Retrouvez ici plus d'infos sur les schémas. Bon crochet!

DROPS 177-10 Ich bin jetzt mit den Runden soweit durch und möchte nun die Seitenteile häkeln. In der Anleitung steht, das man 30 Maschen frei lassen soll, bevor man mit dem Seitenteil anfängt. Leider hat sich mein Rundenbeginn, aufgrund der Luftmaschenbögen, so verschoben, das ich jetzt gar nicht weiß, wo die Mitte liegt. Was habe ich falsch gemacht? LG Nicole

23.02.2023 - 14:09

DROPS Design answered:

Liebe Nicole, falten Sie die Arbeit in der Mitte, so daß die Armausschnitte einander gegenüberliegen, setzen Sie oben und unten (in der Mitte) je eine Markierung ein, Legen Sie die Arbeit wieder flach hin, und so können Sie die 30 Luftmaschenbogen oben und die 31 Luftmaschenbogen unten zählen - schneiden Sie den Faden ab wenn nötig ist. Viel Spaß beim häkeln!

Je vies de commencer ce modèle aïs je bloque pcq je ne comprends plus à partir de A3 ET A4. MERCI de m'aider g vraiment besoin de vous

02.06.2022 - 20:30

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Carion, tout comme pour A.1, les tours commencent et se terminent avant la fin de A.3, autrement dit, vous commencez le tour par les 3 mailles en l'air, puis terminez A.3, répétez A.4 tout le tour et terminez par les premières mailles de A.3. Au 2ème (dernier) tour des diagrammes, augmentez en même temps 7 brides à intervalles réguliers (cf cette leçon). Bon crochet!

Hi. Thanks for the lovely pattern. I'm on size XXL until Round 4 (252 dc). I am having trouble understanding Round 5 (work 1st Round in A5 = 84 chain spaces). I'm not sure where the 84 chain spaces would come about because from the diagram, A5 1st Round looks to be all double crochet in stitch. Wouldn't it mean my Round 5 would result in 252 dc instead?

16.10.2021 - 13:21

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Karen, there are 252 dc and you will repeat 21 times A.5 (= 12 sts); after 1st round in A.5 is done, there are 4 ch-spaces in each A.5 x 21 repeats = 84 ch-spaces in total. Can this help? Happy crocheting!

Heisann Jeg har kommet dertil hvor det står øke med 14 godt fordelt. Altså 2. rekke etter sirkelen, hvorjeg har slått opp 32 masker til arme. Men jeg vet ikke om jeg skal øke på de 32 masker til armen, eller kun på ryggstykket?? Det hadde vært stor hjelp om det sto i mønstret :0)

02.08.2021 - 16:05

DROPS Design answered:

Hei Lillehille. Siden det står øke jevnt fordelt på omgangen må det også økes over de nye maskene til ermene. mvh DROPS design
