No entiendo bien el comienzo de la 6a vuelta en el diagrama. Según A.1a se debe "sustituir el primer punto alto con 3 puntos de cadena", sin embargo según A.1.b la fila comienza con 4 puntos de cadena seguido de 1 punto alto doble. ¿Cómo se debe comenzar? ¿ Serían en total 3+ 4 puntos de cadena? Muchas gracias por su ayuda

Hola Silvia, las cadenetas iniciales son 3 puntos de cadeneta (el símbolo a la derecha en el diagrama). Después, trabajar 4 puntos de cadeneta más y después trabajar el punto alto doble.

21.05.2022 - 16:59How do I crochet the neck, the 4 squares are together now, please help me

Dear Carol, you can see the instructions for the neck after the bottom edge. If you have problems with a concrete section, please tell us what you don't understand so we may help you better. Happy crocheting!
18.04.2022 kl. 20:16I just downloaded the Serena poncho and I have no clue how to read a chart. Is there any way you have the rounds for the squares written out? Thank you.
23.01.2022 - 01:48DROPS Design answered:
Dear Amanda, unfortunately, this pattern is written as a combination of written instructions and charts for the pattern, so we don't have each round written out. But you can read the following lesson; it should help you better understand crochet diagrams: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=69&cid=19 Happy crocheting!
23.01.2022 kl. 20:59I love patterns. My first crochet lace shawl was from a Italian pattern. Going from Europe to America isn’t easy to convert. Patterns can be used for everybody in every country.
04.12.2021 - 14:22How do I increase it for a larger person?
04.12.2021 - 14:14DROPS Design answered:
Dear Tisa, you need to increase the size of the square by repeating the last rows of the square, but you need to make the calculations yourself; you can also work the edge around the poncho wider to make the square larger. Happy crochetting!
05.12.2021 kl. 16:39Do you have a written pattern for this piece? I really struggle with diagrams.
31.10.2021 - 13:05DROPS Design answered:
Dear Jeanne, our patterns are made in a mixed format, with both diagrams and written instructions, to cater to all types of people. You can check the following lesson regarding reading diagrams: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=69&cid=19. Happy crochetting!
31.10.2021 kl. 19:46Diagrams make my head spin. Are there written directions for this poncho anywhere?
29.10.2021 - 18:49DROPS Design answered:
Dear Joan, we do not have written out explanations for the pattern, not only because they are available in several languages, but also, because we believe that with diagram you can not only see the very next step (like with written diagrams) but the "bigger picture " as well, like how stitches and rows relate to each other en large. We do have a lesson here on how to read diagrams, and you can always ask for help (in person, or over the phone) in the store you Bought your DROPS yarn from. Happy Stitching!
30.10.2021 kl. 03:32Hola, me encanto este poncho, alguna posibilidad de ver este mismo trabajo pero en video tutorial, porque igual me complica el leerlo, y los tejido que he hecho los veo a través de video, se lo agradecería mucho.
19.04.2021 - 02:08Buon giorno, non capisco il passaggio seguente nella descrizione del digramma A1a : all’inizio del giro lavorare 1 catenella. Questa catenella non sostituisce la 1° maglia bassa sul giro. Finire il giro con 1 maglia bassissima nella 1° catenella all’inizio del giro, poi lavorare a maglie bassissime fino al centro del 1° arco di catenelle? anche sopra dove dice uguale, non capisco le maglie basissime dove e quante e se si fa nella maglia o a torno? molte grazie!
