INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN:
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
1 ridge = Knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
Shorts: See diagram A.1.
Slippers: See diagrams A.2 and A.3.
The diagrams show all the rows in the pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP (for the shorts):
Work until there are 2 stitches left before the marker thread in the side, 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased), knit 4 stitches (the marker thread sits in the middle of these stitches), 1 yarn over (= 1 stitch increased), increase like this at both marker threads (= a total of 4 stitches increased).
On the next round work the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
----------------------------------------------------------
SHORTS:
The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles, top down. Cast on (80) 96-96-112-112 (128) stitches with double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and BabyMerino. Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round (= mid back). Work rib from mid back as follows: Knit 1, * purl 2, knit 2 *, work from *-* until there are 3 stitches left, finish with purl 2 and knit 1.
When the rib measures (2) 2-2-3-3 (3) cm or (¾”) ¾”-¾”-1 ⅛”-1 ⅛” (1 ⅛”) work a row of holes for the cord on the next round as follows: * Knit 1, 1 yarn over, purl 2 together, knit 1 *, work from *-* to end of round.
Work 1 round of rib knit 2 /purl 2.
Then work an elevation in the rib at the back as follows: Work (7) 9-9-9-9 (9) stitches, turn, tighten the strand, work (14) 18-18-18-18 (18) stitches back, turn, tighten the strand, work (20) 24-24-24-26 (26) stitches, turn, tighten the strand, work (26) 30-30-30-34 (34) stitches back, turn, tighten the strand, work (32) 36-36-36-42 (42) stitches, turn, tighten the strand, work (38) 42-42-42-50 (50) stitches back.
Continue like this, i.e. work (6) 6-6-6-8 (8) more stitches each time the piece is turned until you have worked over a total of (62) 66-66-66-82 (82) stitches. Turn, tighten the strand, then continue with rib in the round over all stitches again.
When the piece measures (4) 4-5-5-5 (5) cm or (1 ½”) 1 ½”-2”-2”-2” (2”) mid front, change to double pointed needles size 3 mm. Knit 1 round and decrease (10) 14-10-22-14 (26) stitches evenly on round = (70) 82-86-90-98 (102) stitches. On the next round insert 1 marker thread in each side of the piece as follows: Work (17) 20-21-22-24 (25) stitches GARTER STITCH – see description above, insert 1 marker thread (= half the back piece), work (35) 41-43-45-49 (51) stitches garter stitch, insert 1 marker thread (= front piece), work (18) 21-22-23-25 (26) stitches garter stitch (= half the back piece). The piece is now continue in garter stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
On the next round increase 1 stitch on each side of both the marker threads in the sides (= 4 stitches increased) – read INCREASE TIP. Increase like this every 1 cm/3/8” a total of (6) 7-8-11-11 (14) times, then increase 2 stitches evenly on next round = (96) 112-120-136-144 (160) stitches. When the piece measures (10) 12-14-16-17 (19) cm or (4”) 4 ¾”-5 ½”-6 ¼”-6 ¾” (7 ½”), adjust so that the last row was purled, work pattern A.1 over all stitches (= a total of (12) 14-15-17-18 (20) times in width). When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height, work garter stitch to finished length.
When the piece measures (15) 17-19-21-22 (24) cm or (6”) 6 ¾”-7 ½”-8 ¼”- 7 ¾” (9 ½”), cast off stitches for the legs as follows: Cast off the first (41) 49-53-61-63 (71) stitches, work (14) 14-14-14-18 (18) stitches, cast off the last (41) 49-53-61-63 (71) stitches = (14) 14-14-14-18 (18) stitches left for gusset. Cut the strand. Now continue working back and forth. Work GARTER STITCH – see description above, for approx. (2) 2-2-3-4 (5) cm or (¾”) ¾”-¾”-1 ⅛”-1 ⅛” (1 ⅛”). Cast off. Sew these ridges to the cast off edge on the back piece, in the middle, in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch.
CORD:
Crochet a cord as follows: Work chain stitches with hook size 2.5 mm and BabyMerino for approx. 75-80-85-90-95 cm = 29 1/2"-31 1/2"-33 1/2"-25 1/2"-37 3/8", turn and work back with 1 slip stitch in each chain. Cut and fasten the strand. Thread the cord in and out through the row of holes (start and finish mid front).
----------------------------------------------------------
SLIPPER:
The slipper is worked back and forth with circular needle from mid back, top down; i.e. you first work the leg then the foot.
Cast on (36) 38-40-44-48 (52-56) stitches with circular needle size 2.5 mm and BabyMerino. Work A.2 (= 2 stitches) over all stitches. When A.2 has been worked 1 time in height, work the next row from the right side as follows: Work (2) 3-0-2-0 (2-0) stitches stocking stitch, A.3 (= 8 stitches) a total of (4) 4-5-5-6 (6-7) times in width and finish with (2) 3-0-2-0 (2-0) stitches stocking stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.3 has been completed 1 time in height continue with A.2 as follows: Knit (0) 1-0-0-0-(0-0) stitches, A.2 over the next (36) 36-40-44-48 (52-56) stitches and finish by knitting (0) 1-0-0-0-(0-0) stitches (the cord is later thread through this row of holes). When A.2 has been completed in height, work 2 RIDGES – see description above and decrease (6) 8-6-6-6- (10-14) stitches evenly on the last row from the right side = (30) 30-34-38-38 (42-42) stitches. Cut the strand.
Now place the first (11) 11-12-13-13 (15-15) stitches and the last (11) 11-12-13-13 (15-15) stitches on two separate threads. The piece is now worked in garter stitch to finished length. Work (3) 3½-4-4½-5½ (6½-8) cm or (1 ⅛”)1 ¼”-1 ½”-1 ¾”-2 ⅛” (2 ¼”-3 ⅛”), over the middle (8) 8-10-12-12 (12-12) stitches (= mid top of slipper), cut the strand.
The next row is worked as follows from the right side: Work the stitches from the one thread in the one side back onto the double pointed needles, knit up (7) 9-10-11-13 (16-21) stitches in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch along the side of the middle piece, work the (8) 8-10-12-12 (12-12) stitches on the needle (= front), knit up (7) 9-10-11-13 (16-21) stitches in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch along the other side of the middle piece and work the stitches from the other thread back onto the double pointed needles = (44) 48-54-60-64 (74-84) stitches on the needles. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! Work a total of (2½) 3-3-4-5 (5-5) cm or (1”) 1 ⅛”-1 ⅛”- 1 ½”-2” (2”-2”) garter stitch over all stitches AT THE SAME TIME when you have worked approx. (1) 1½-1½-2-3 (3-3) cm or (⅜”) ½”-½”-¾”-1 ⅛” (1 ⅛”-1 ⅛”), insert 1 marker (22) 24-27-30-32 (37-42) stitches in (= middle of slipper). Now decrease every 2nd row to finished length as follows:
Knit 1 stitch, knit the next 2 stitches together (= 1 stitch decreased), knit until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, knit together the next 4 stitches, 2 and 2 (= 2 stitches decreased), knit until there are 3 stitches left, knit the next 2 stitches together (= 1 stitch decreased), knit 1 stitch (= 4 stitches decreased every 2nd row) = approx. (32) 36-42-48-52 (62-72) stitches.
Cast off and sew the seam under the foot and up mid back in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch so the seam is flat.
Work 1 more slipper in the same way.
CORD:
Work a cord as follows: Work chain stitches with hook size 2.5 mm and BabyMerino for approx. 30-40 cm (11 ¾”-15 ¾”), turn and work back with 1 slip stitch in each chain stitch. Cut and fasten the strand.
Thread the cord in and out of the row of holes on the slipper (start and finish mid front of slipper).

Hej, Vad menas med "på nästa varv ökas det 1 maska på var sida av markören i varje sida av arbetet, öka så på varje cm totalt 7 ggr. Innebär det då att på 7 cm ska jag ha ökat 4maskor gånger 7 dvs 28 maskor?

Hej Johanna. Ja det stämmer. Mvh DROPS Design
15.10.2021 kl. 10:54Hallo, ich Stricke grade die Hose und bin kurz vor der Stelle wo A1 beginnt. Wird die Länge (zb 14cm bei Größe 56/62) vorne gemessen oder hinten? Es kommt mir vorne gemessen sehr groß vor. Danke und LG
16.03.2021 - 15:25DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Anna, messen Sie vorne (hinten wird es länger wegen den verkürzten Reihen für die Erhöhung). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
16.03.2021 kl. 15:54Pour le short, le diagramme A1, est-ce que le jeté ce fait avant le marqueur demi-dos ou après? Aussi, je ne vois pas comment faire les diminutions, ni à quel endroit exactement. Merci de votre aide.
11.02.2021 - 05:07DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Edith, A.1 commence à partir du milieu dos, le jeté du 3ème rang de A.1 compense la diminution de la 1ère maille et se fait donc au début du tour. Les diminutions à intervalles réguliers se tricotent en faisant 2 mailles ensemble - calculez ici comment les répartir. Bon tricot!
11.02.2021 kl. 07:05I oppskriften står det : "Når arbeidet måler (15) 17-19-21-22 (24) cm, felles det av masker til bein slik: Fell av de første (41) 49-53-61-63 (71) maskene, strikk (14) 14-14-14-18 (18) masker, fell av de siste (41) 49-53-61-63 (71) maskene = (14) 14-14-14-18 (18) masker igjen til skrittet." 1. Hvis jeg feller de første maskene blir ikke skrittet på midten. 2. Maskeantallet stemmer ikke. Jeg har spurt om dette før, men forklaringen gav ikke mening.
06.02.2021 - 20:55DROPS Design answered:
Hei Julie. Nå skal du felle av, men du skal beholde 14 masker. Du starter midt bak og feller 41 masker, så strikker du 7 masker (nå er du midt foran), så strikker du 7 masker til, altså 14 masker og du har nå 7 masker på hver side av midt foran. Så feller du av 41 masker og er tilbake til midt bak. I ditt spørsmål fra 30.01.2021 skrev du: 41+14+41+14=110, men du har kun 41+14+41=96 masker. Om du ser på målskissen er det nå "tuppen" ned du nå skal strikke i riller. mvh DROPS design
12.02.2021 kl. 14:24Jeg strikker shortsen i prematur str. Jeg har nå 96 masker på pinnen og skal felle til bein. Men jeg får ikke fellingen til å stemme. 41+14+41+14=110
30.01.2021 - 21:42DROPS Design answered:
Hej Julie, det er de midterste 14 masker du skal fortsætte med. Det vil sige at du har 41 masker på hver side af de 14 = 96 masker. God fornøjelse!
03.02.2021 kl. 14:28Hallo :) ich stricke grade die Hose und finde es mühsam die runden im Krausmuster zu Stricken. Auf dem Bild ist hinten am Po eine Naht zu sehen als sei auch hier die Arbeit mit hin und rück Reihen nur rechts gestrickt worden, ist das möglich? Falls ja wie bekommt man es so ordentlich zusammengenäht? VG
30.01.2021 - 12:06DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Budny, diese "Naht" ist nur die Runden Anfang/Ende beim Krausrechts stricken. Diese Lektion erklärt, wie man in Reihen anstatt in Runden stricken kann und könnte Ihnen damit helfen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
01.02.2021 kl. 08:35Hallo, liebe Dropsler,würde gern dieses Modell kpl. mit Den anderen Teilen Stricken in Baby Merino oliv,Mix.nr.38 Stricken ,doch leider ist die Farbe nicht erhältlich! Können Sie mir mitteilen,wann ich diese Farbe wieder bestellen kann??? Freundlichst Margret
29.09.2020 - 19:42DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Margret, bei uns ist diese Farbe zur Zeit nicht lieferbar aber schauen Sie mehr bei den unterschiedlichen Laden , die DROPS BabyMerino haben - siehe Farbkarte und/oder wenden Sie sich an Ihrem üblichen Laden, gerne wird man Ihnen sagen, wenn sie diese Farbe bekommen werden. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
30.09.2020 kl. 08:11Hei, jeg har et annet spørsmål. Det står "Når arbeidet måler (10) 12-14-16-17 (19) cm (...) strikkes mønster A.1 over alle maskene". Skal det måles midt foran eller midt bak? Jeg antar det er foran, men vil bare dobbeltsjekke.
12.09.2020 - 23:45DROPS Design answered:
Hei Maja. Midt foran ja. God Fornøyelse!
14.09.2020 kl. 11:53Hei! Jeg bare lurer på om det er like greit å strikke shortsen med rundpinner istedenfor settpinner?
08.09.2020 - 08:31DROPS Design answered:
Hej Maja, ja hvis du har masker nok til at de når rundt på rundpinden, så må du selvfølgelig gerne gøre det :)
09.09.2020 kl. 13:57Bonjour, je ne comprends pas l'explication du chausson, au niveau du marqueur, on diminue que d'un côté du marqueur 1 maille tout les 2 rangs ou on diminue sur tout le rang de chaque côté du marqueur.
03.09.2020 - 07:54DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Courveille, à la fin des chaussons, on diminue 4 mailles tous les rangs sur l'endroit = 1 m en début de rang, 1 m de chaque côté du marqueur (= 2 m ens à l'end, marqueur, 2 m ens à l'end) et 1 m à la fin du rang. Bon tricot!
