Thank you for your reply. What is the total number of stitches that should be on my needles after row 7 on A1,A2,A3. For an xxl?
11.03.2024 - 15:52DROPS Design answered:
Dear Teresa, on row 7 in A.2, XL there are 7 sts as you have increased 2 sts (1 stitch on row 3 + 1 stitch on row 5); on row 7 in A.3 XL you will have 13 sts as you have increased 1 stitch on row 3 - and you will increase 1 stitch on 7th row in each A.3 to get 14 sts after row 7 is done. Happy knitting!

I am knitting the sheep happens cardigan size xxl. This is my first stranded color project. Can you tell me how many stitches should be on my needles before the first white row? I am afraid if I did something wrong and don’t have the right number of stitches it will mess up the design. Thank you.
11.03.2024 - 14:45DROPS Design answered:
Dear Teresa, to help you keeping tracking of the number of stitches after each increase row you can add markers after each diagram, so that you can get sure; before the first row with off white you should have increased 2 sts in each A.2 and in each A.3 (7 sts in each A.2 and 14 sts in each A.3). Happy knitting!

I'm trying to work out how much yarn I will need for this sweater. Is the total 750 grams of the 9015 gray yarn, or do I need 3500 grams?
03.03.2024 - 20:47DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Bramer, in size XXXL you will need 750 g DROPS Lima in colour 9015 (=750/50=15 balls) + 100 g colour 6235 (= 2 balls) + 1 ball in each of both colours 0100 and 8903. Happy knitting!

Hello! Not sure if I am reading the pattern wrong. I've just finished knitting A.1 to A.3 and I have to knit a WS row before starting A.4 and A.5. is it correct that I would increase on the WS row as well as in the first row of A.5? So basically two increase rows right next to each other?
15.02.2024 - 03:04DROPS Design answered:
Dear Deirdre, that's correct, first increase evenly on the row from wrong side then increase on first row in A.5 as shown in diagram. Happy knitting!

Bonjour Virginie, les toutes premières augmentations de l'empiècement se font à intervalles réguliers, retrouvez ici comment et où augmenter. Les augmentations suivantes se feront ensuite via les diagrammes = on fait 1 jeté que l'on tricote torse au rang suivant. Bon tricot!

Hi, I am knitting this cute sweater now in size S. In the yoke near the sheep I noticed the model picture has a row or two of black in the 5 stitch band. I haven't found that the pattern includes this. Is this correct or an option?
09.02.2024 - 17:03DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Dyck, there are a total of 3 rows with black, see diagrams A.1, A.2 and A.3, the black squares. Happy knitting!

Hi, I'd like to make this pattern, but I can't seem to see on it where it states how many balls of each colour I'll need. I want to make it in a UK size 16-18. Many thanks.
01.02.2024 - 13:58DROPS Design answered:
Dear Catherine, you will find the total weight required in each colour for each size under the header, so that for ex you need in S 450 g DROPS Lima/50 g a ball = 9 balls color 9015. Happy knitting!

I am about to start the Sheep Happens Cardigan and I am unsure how many stitches to cast on at the very start. The size will be small and it says cast on 100. Will that be 100 in total which will include the band stitches, or 100 stitches + 10 stitches for the band, which will be 110 stitches? Many thanks
28.05.2023 - 12:30DROPS Design answered:
Dear Elizabeth, the 100 stitches to cast on in S include the 5 front band stitches on each side, this means you don't need to cast on 10 extra stitches. Happy knitting!

---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Choose diagram for your size. Work diagrams in stockinette stitch. As the color changes are far apart, the strands should be twined after approx. every 7th stitch, to avoid long loose strand on the wrong side. INCREASE TIP (evenly): To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 100 stitches), minus band (= 10 stitches = 90 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 31) = 2.9. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 3rd stitch. Do not increase over band. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes. DECREASE TIP (applies to sleeves): Decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker as follows: Work until 3 stitches remain before marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 stitches (marker is between these stitches), slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over stitch worked (= 2 stitches decreased). BUTTONHOLES: Decrease for buttonholes on right band (when garment is worn). Decrease from right side when 3 stitches remain on row as follows: Make 1 yarn over, knit the next 2 stitches together, knit last stitch. On next row knit yarn over to make holes. Decrease first buttonhole when rib in neck measures approx. 1½-2 cm. Then decrease the next 5-5-6-6-7-7 buttonholes, approx. 8½-8½-8-8-7½-7½ cm between each. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- JACKET - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE GARMENT: Work yoke back and forth on circular needle, top down. Divide the yoke into sleeves and body. Work body back and forth. Sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles. YOKE: Cast on 100-104-108-112-120-128 stitches (including 5 band stitches in each side of piece) on circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 with gray blue. Purl 1 row from wrong side with 5 band stitches in GARTER STITCH - read explanation above, in each side of piece. Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, rib (= knit 2/purl 2) until 7 stitches remain, knit 2 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Decrease for BUTTONHOLES on right band - read explanation above. Work rib for 3 cm / 1'', adjust so that last row is from right side. Switch to circular needle size 4 mm / US 6. Purl 1 row from wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side and increase 31-27-35-33-35-37 stitches evenly – read INCREASE TIP = 131-131-143-145-155-165 stitches. Work pattern as follows from right side: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, A.1 (= 1 stitch), A.2 (= 6-6-6-5-5-5 stitches) over the next 12-12-12-10-10-10 stitches (= 2 times in total), A.3 (= 12 stitches), A.2 over the next 42-42-48-50-55-60 stitches (= 7-7-8-10-11-12 times in total), A.3 over the next 12 stitches, A.2 over the next 42-42-48-50-55-60 stitches (= 7-7-8-10-11-12 times in total) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. Work band in the same color as A.1. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When A.1 to A.3 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 255-255-281-333-359-385 stitches on needle. Piece measures approx. 16 cm (including rib). Purl 1 row with gray from wrong side with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side and increase 11-11-15-8-12-1 stitches evenly = 266-266-296-341-371-386 stitches. Work next row from right side (work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes): Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch (now work band in gray until finished measurements), A.4 (= 1 stitch), A.5 (= 15 stitches) over the next 255-255-285-330-360-375 stitches (= 17-17-19-22-24-25 times in width) and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch. When A.4 and A.5 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 317-351-372-407-443-461 stitches on needle. Piece now measures 21-23-24-25-25-25 cm / 8 ¼"-9"-9 3/8"-9 ¾"-9 ¾"-9 ¾" (including rib). Work with gray until finished measurements. Work in stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch until piece measures 21-23-25-26-28-30 cm / 8 ¼"-9"-9 ¾"-10 ¼"-11"-11 ¾" (including rib). Now divide the piece for sleeves and body as follows: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, 45-49-51-57-63-68 stitches in stockinette stitch (= front piece), slip the next 64-72-79-84-90-90 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-10-14 stitches under sleeve, work 89-99-102-115-127-135 stitches in stockinette stitch (= back piece), slip the next 64-72-79-84-90-90 stitches on a stitch holder for sleeve and cast on 8-8-10-10-10-14 stitches under sleeve, work 45-49-51-57-63-68 stitches in stockinette stitch and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch (= front piece) = 205-223-234-259-283-309 stitches. BODY: Then work in stockinette stitch with 5 band stitches in garter stitch in each side of piece. When piece measures 26-26-26-27-27-27 cm / 10 ¼"-10 ¼"-10 ¼"-10 5/8"-10 5/8"-10 5/8" from where body was divided from sleeves, increase 27-33-34-33-41-43 stitches evenly on next row from wrong side = 232-256-268-292-324-352 stitches. Switch to circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 and work as follows on next row from right side: Work 5 band stitches in garter stitch, rib (= knit 2/purl 2) until 7 stitches remain, knit 2 and finish with 5 band stitches in garter stitch (work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes). Bind off by knitting from right side when rib measures 4 cm / 1½'' (i.e. piece measures approx. 30-30-30-31-31-31 cm / 11 ¾"-11 ¾"-11 ¾"-12 1/8"-12 1/8"-12 1/8" from where body was divided from sleeves). Jacket measures 54-56-58-60-62-64 cm / 21¼''-22''-22¾''-23 5/8''-24 3/8''-25¼'' in total measured from shoulder. SLEEVE: Slip the 64-72-79-84-90-90 stitches from stitch holder in one side of piece on double pointed needles size 4 mm / US 6 and pick up 1 stitch in each of the 8-8-10-10-10-14 stitches cast on under sleeve = 72-80-89-94-100-104 stitches. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the 8-8-10-10-10-14 stitches under sleeve. Work in the round in stockinette stitch with gray. When piece measures 1 cm / 3/8'' from where sleeves was divided from body, decrease 1 stitch on each side of marker - read DECREASE TIP. Decrease like this every 3-2-1½-1½-1½-1 cm/1 1/8"-3/4"-½"-½"-½"-3/8" 11-15-18-19-22-23 times in total = 50-50-53-56-56-58 stitches. When piece measures 40-38-37-36-35-33 cm / 15 ¾"-14 7/8"-14 ½"-14 1/8"-13 ¾"-13" from where sleeves were divided from body, increase 2-2-3-0-4-2 stitches evenly on next round = 52-52-56-56-60-60 stitches. Switch to double pointed needles size 3 mm / US 2.5 and work rib = knit 2/purl 2. Bind off by knitting when piece measures 44-42-41-40-39-37 cm / 17 ¼"-16 ½"-16 1/8"-15 ¾"-15 ¼"-14 ½" from where sleeve was divided from body (= approx. 4 cm / 1½'' rib). Work the other sleeve the same way. ASSEMBLY: Sew on buttons on left band. |
