Fasten the strand with 1 slip stitch in the first petal on section B, * work 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch in the next petal on section A, work 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch in the next petal on section B, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch in the next petal on section A, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch around the next chain-space in section B, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch around the chain-space in section A, 3 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch in next petal on section B *, work from *-* along the whole side.

Hi, I just finished the 2 panels and pinned them together. It seems a little tight. How do I make the short side longer. Thank you,

Dear Mrs Doyle, we are unfortunately not able to adjust every pattern to every single request; please contact your yarn store or any knitting forum for any further individual assistance. Thanks for your comprehension.
03.07.2023 - 11:06I'm still confused Are the 2 sections exactly the same size? The assembly says lay the "short side" A on the one section towards the bottom of other section B. Do u have photo lay out of assembly?
20.08.2022 - 01:09DROPS Design answered:
Dear Edna, both pieces are identical rectangles. You can see how to assemble them here: https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=504&lang=en. Happy crocheting!
21.08.2022 - 20:57Hi This pattern mentioned 2 sections. Does that mean making front and back as sections of Row 1 to 6. I'm confused.
18.08.2022 - 01:42DROPS Design answered:
Dear Edna, yes, you make 2 similar pieces (sections). So make row 1-6 + Edge one time, than make new piece: row 1-6 + Edge again. Finally, you put the two parts (sections) together. Happy crocheting!
18.08.2022 - 05:42Hi! Where can I find the video link for the assembly / putting it together. Can u email me the link/video? That would be very helpful. I appreciate your help, thanks.

18.08.2022 - 09:10Hi! I saw a video for Drops 152-35 Is that video also for Drops 200-38? If it is, do u have video from Row 1 to 6? I'm having difficulty following the pattern first time. I can almost do project with pattern. Looking forward to ur reply

Dear Edna, you can see all available videos for this pattern under the pattern instructions, including the 152-35 A.1 chart video. We have no other videos step-by-step for this pattern. Happy crocheting!
14.08.2022 - 20:27What is a total of 5-6-7 times on Row 1? Do I have have to repeat A.2 7 times? I would appreciate your reply/help
12.08.2022 - 21:33DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs. Nazareno, yes, you have to repeat A.2 5-6-7 times on Row 1. Happy crocheting!
13.08.2022 - 17:02Hello. This is about the edge along side. At the very end, after making the last petal of the last flower, do I chain 7 stitches and then slip stitch in the starting stitch? Thank you for your help.
01.02.2022 - 09:21DROPS Design answered:
Dear Gabrielle, corrrect, you end the edge with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch at the bottom of piece (= 1st chain stitch in A.1). Happy crocheting!
01.02.2022 - 11:42Jeg har problemer med monteringen. Har I ikke en video, der kan hjælpe mig. Jeg kan ikke forstå forskrifter og kan derfor ikke montere de to dele. På forhånd mange tak

Hej Laura. Den streckade linjen på bilden är kortsidan på del 1 som du lägger mot den nedersta del på del2. I denna video kan du se hur du ska göra, i videon är det gjort med kun 1 del (och spegelvänt), men du gör samma sak bag på ponchoen. Hoppas det är till hjälp. Mvh DROPS Design
15.07.2021 - 08:24Estoy haciendo el poncho pero no entiendo las instrucciones para unir las dos piezas. Es una pena porque me gusta mucho
06.07.2021 - 21:40DROPS Design answered:
Hola Laura, en estos vídeos puedes ver cómo usan esta técnica de unir cuadrados Granny. En este caso, se trabajan puntos enanos en los pétalos y se trabajan entre ellos 3 p.de cad (en vez de los 2 de los vídeos), pero es para dar una idea de cómo se unen. En el caso de qué te siga resultando difícil, puedes acudir a la tienda DROPS más cercana para que puedan darte ayuda personalizada. https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=669&lang=es https://www.garnstudio.com/video.php?id=175&lang=es
15.07.2021 - 00:30Les 2 pieces du poncho que l'on tricote ont-elles les mêmes dimensions. Merci pour votre aide. Je parle français.

Bonjour Francine, tout à fait, vous devez réaliser 2 pièces (rectangles) complètement identiques et les assembler ensuite entre elles comme indiqué sous ASSEMBLAGE. Bon crochet!
