What would be the best alternative yarn to the one recommended as I am allergic to wool but would love to knit this dress.
13.09.2023 - 19:44DROPS Design answered:
Hi Jo, Drops yarns are in groups and all yarns within one group can be used for the same pattern. Drops Muskat is from group B, so click på "Yarns and Needles" at the top of the page, then "Yarn groups" bottom right-ish. A list of yarns in group B will include all types and qualities so you can choose freely. We always recommend that you work a swatch before beginning your project, to check your knitting tension. Happy crafting!

Hej, jag undrar hur jag gör när oket delar sig från fram och bakstycket. Om jag förstår det rätt så ska jag klippa av tråden mitt bak och nu räknas början av varvet från mitt under armen. Hur gör jag med de maskor som är på stickan fram till mitt under armen? Lyfter jag bara över dem utan att sticka dem?

Hej Pernilla, ja det stemmer, det er bare at flytte maskerne over på den anden pind :)

Bonjour, J'ai une question concernant le passage entre l'Empiècement et le Dos/Devant : ou commence le début du tour pour le Dos/Devant. Pour l'empiècement, il était au milieu du dos, et si j'ai bien compris pour le dos/devant, le début du tour se situe à la moitié des mailles ajoutées (coté de la robe). est bien cela? Merci d'avance pour votre retour, Pierre Luc
18.08.2022 - 10:44DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Pierre Luc, tout à fait, l'empiècement et le dos/le devant se tricotent en commençant les tours à partir du milieu dos. Lorsque vous tricotez le bas de la robe, placez un marqueur au milieu des mailles montées sous les manches = côtés de la robe. On va diminuer de chaque côté de ces marqueurs. On place ensuite d'autres marqueurs (4) pour augmenter après/avant ces marqueurs pour le bas de la robe. Bon tricot!

Where do I see a dress size chart so I know what size to make that will fit me? I do not know which size to make that will fit me.

Dear Robin, you can check the measurements chart after the pattern instructions and diagram, with all measurements in cm, to see which size will fit you best. Happy knitting!

Dobrý den, ráda bych se doptala na raglánové zkosení. Pletu velikost S - znamená to tedy, že přidávám pouze v 1. řadě a potom až v každé 4. řadě 6x ? A poté v další 1. řadě již nepřidávam? Děkuji, přeji hezký den :-)

Dobrý den, Kateřino, pro raglánové zkosení přidáte u velikosti S v 1. kruhové řadě, a pak v každé 4. řadě 6x. Potom v následující kruh. řadě přidáte rovnoměrně 4 oka - tj. podle popisu v odstavci TIP – PŘIDÁVÁNÍ 1. Ať se daří!

Hi there! I love this dress but it is a bit too short for my liking. Am I able to add a few extra inches to the body of the dress so it ends at my knees? Thank you, Meaghen
14.02.2022 - 22:53DROPS Design answered:
Hi Meaghan, Yes, this is no problem. Continue working to the desired length before starting the pattern at the bottom of the dress. Happy knitting!

Hi DROPS Team! First off, can I just say thank you so much for the amazing free patterns and all of the responses you folks give in these comment sections? You're an awesome company and I'm so grateful to be able to knit them! My question is: Instead of doing my incs with a YO that gets twisted on the next round, can I do a M1L and M1R on either side of the markers? I'm not a huge fan of YO incs unless I *need* the hole and I just think it would look cleaner. Would it pose a problem?
06.02.2022 - 04:13DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Lucas, thank you very much for your feedback! Feel free to use another technique to increase here if you are not ease with the yarn overs increases. Happy knitting!

I have followed your instructions, you left for Kim ,"Dear Kim, at the very beg of the round, move the first 2 sts onto right needles without working them, rounds now start here,.. " regarding the arrow A2 however I'm still struggling , cause on row 15 it seems that the pattern is not lining up. Does this mean the NEW beginning would be after I move the 2 stitch to the right needle. Is there a video to demonstrate this please, I'm so confuse, but I'm not giving up
17.09.2021 - 15:17DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Fuad, you have to displace the beg of the round only on the row with an arrow, this means, on row after (= row 15), beg the round as before to make sure the pattern will be lined up. Happy knitting!

Dress with lace pattern round yoke and short sleeves, worked top down. Sizes S - XXXL. The piece is worked in DROPS Muskat.
DROPS 191-5 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
INFORMATION FOR THE PATTERN: SEED STITCH: Round 1: * Knit 1, purl 1 *, work from *-* to end of round. Round 2: Purl over knit and knit over purl. Repeat round 2. INCREASE TIP-1: To work out how to increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 121 stitches) and divide by the number of increases to be made (e.g. 15) = 8.1. In this example, increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 8th stitch; on the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.3. Choose diagram for your size (applies to A.1 and A.3). RAGLAN: Increase to raglan on each side of the 4 marker threads in each transition between body and sleeves as follows: Start 1 stitch before the marker thread, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (the marker thread sits in the middle of these 2 stitches), make 1 yarn over (= 2 stitches increased). On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP (for the body): Start 4 stitches before the marker thread, knit 2 together, knit 4 (the marker thread sits in the middle of these 4 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased). INCREASE TIP-2 (for body): Increase 1 stitch by picking up the stitch from the previous round and knitting the new stitch. When you increase after the first and third marker threads, pick up 1 stitch in the first stitch loop after the marker thread. When increasing before the second and fourth marker threads, pick up a stitch in the last loop before the marker thread. ---------------------------------------------------------- DRESS: The yoke and body are worked in the round with circular needle, top down. The sleeve edges are worked in the round with double pointed needles/short circular needle. NECK EDGE: Cast on 121-125-129-135-145-149 stitches with small circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 and Muskat. Knit 1 round. Then work SEED STITCH – see description above, for 2 cm / 3/4''. Knit 1 round where you increase 15-19-23-17-15-19 stitches evenly on round – read INCREASE TIP-1 = 136-144-152-152-160-168 stitches. Change to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6 and knit 1 round. Then work the yoke as described below. YOKE: Work A.1 in the round (= 17-18-19-19-20-21 repeats of 8 stitches). REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When A.1 has been completed, there are 204-216-228-228-240-252 stitches on the needle and the piece measures approx. 10-10-10-11-11-11 cm / 3 7/8"-3 7/8"-3 7/8"-4 ¼"-4 ¼"-4 ¼" from the cast on edge. Now insert 4 markers in the piece for raglan as follows (do this without working the stitches): The first marker is inserted after the first 31-32-34-36-39-43 stitches (= ½ back piece), 2nd marker after the next 40-44-46-42-42-40 stitches (= sleeve), 3rd marker after the next 62-64-68-72-78-86 stitches (= front piece) and the 4th marker is inserted after the next 40-44-46-42-42-40 stitches (= sleeve). There are 31-32-34-36-39-43 stitches after the last marker for half the back piece. Work stockinette stitch in the round. AT THE SAME TIME on the first round increase to RAGLAN – see description above (= 8 stitches increased). Increase like this every 2nd round a total of 0-3-5-11-11-12 times and then every 4th round a total of 6-6-6-4-5-6 times. After the last increase to raglan there are 252-288-316-348-368-396 stitches on the needle. Knit 1 round where you increase 4-4-0-0-4-0 stitches evenly on round = 256-292-316-348-372-396 stitches. Continue working until the piece measures 19-21-23-25-27-29 cm / 7 3/8"-8 ¼"-9"-9 ¾"-10 5/8"-11 3/8" from the cast on edge mid front. The next round is worked as follows: Work 38-42-45-51-56-61 stitches stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece), place the next 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (= in side under the sleeve), work 76-84-90-102-112-122 stitches stockinette stitch (= front piece), place the next 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches on 1 thread for sleeve, cast on 8-8-10-10-12-14 new stitches on the needle (=in side under the sleeve) and work the remaining 38-42-45-51-56-61 stitches in stockinette stitch (= ½ back piece). Cut the strand. Body and sleeves are finished separately. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! BODY: = 168-184-200-224-248-272 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round and 1 marker thread after 84-92-100-112-124-136 stitches (= in the sides of the dress). Work stockinette stitch in the round. When the piece measures 2 cm / 3/4'' from the separation, decrease 1 stitch on each side of both marker threads – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2 cm / 3/4'' a total of 4 times in each side = 152-168-184-208-232-256 stitches. Remove all markers and marker threads in the piece, except the marker thread at the beginning of piece. When the piece measures 15 cm / 6'' from the separation, insert 4 new marker threads in the piece as follows: The first marker thread is inserted after the first 15-18-21-26-31-36 stitches, 2nd marker thread after the next 46-48-50-52-54-56 stitches, 3rd marker thread after the next 30-36-42-52-62-72 stitches and the 4th marker thread is inserted after the next 46-48-50-52-54-56 stitches. There are 15-18-21-26-31-36 stitches left on the round after the last marker thread. On the next round, increase after the first and third marker threads and before the second and fourth marker threads – read INCREASE TIP-2 (= 4 stitches increased). Increase like this every 4-5-3½-3½-3½-3½ cm/1½"-2"-1 3/4"-1 3/4"-1 3/4"-1 3/4" a total of 7-6-8-8-8-8 times = 180-192-216-240-264-288 stitches. When the piece measures 44-45-46-45-46-46 cm / 17 ¼"-17 5/8"-18"-17 5/8"-18"-18" work A.2 in the round (= 15-16-18-20-22-24 repeats of 12 stitches). On each round with arrow in A.2 the beginning of the round is displaced 2 stitches towards the left, i.e. lift the 2 first stitches over to the right needle without working them, then work A.2 in the round. The 2 stitches that where lifted over to the right needle will be worked in the last repeat of A.2. On next round knit all stitches. Then start the round as normal. When A.2 is worked there is 240-256-288-320-352-384 stitches on the needle. Now work A.3 in the round (= 15-16-18-20-22-24 repeats of 16 stitches). When A.3 has been completed, there are 315-336-378-380-418-456 stitches on the needle. Knit 1 round where you increase 14-15-17-19-21-23 stitches evenly on round = 329-351-395-399-439-479 stitches. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4. Work seed stitch in the round for 2 cm / 3/4''. Bind off with knit over purl and purl over knit. The dress measures approx. 87-90-93-96-99-101 cm / 34 ¼"-35 3/8"-36 5/8"-37 ¾"-39"-39 ¾" from the shoulder down. SLEEVE EDGE: Place the 52-62-68-72-74-76 stitches from the thread on the one side of the piece on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm / US 4 and, in addition, knit up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-12-14 stitches cast on under the sleeve = 60-70-78-82-86-90 stitches. Knit 1 round and at the same time decrease 1 stitch on this round = 59-69-77-81-85-89 stitches. Work seed stitch in the round for 3 cm / 1''. Bind off with knit over purl and purl over knit. Work the other sleeve edge in the same way. |
