EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge in height = Knit 2 rows.
INCREASE TIP:
All increases are worked from the right side!
Increase by making 1 yarn over between 2 stitches. The yarn over is worked twisted on the next row.
DECREASE TIP (for sleeves):
All decreases are worked from the right side.
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the piece as follows:
Knit 1, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (= 1 stitch decreased), knit until there are 3 stitches left, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased) and knit 1.
BINDING-OFF TIP:
To avoid the bind-off edge being tight you can bind off with a larger size needle. If the edge is still tight, make 1 yarn over after approx. each 4th stitch at the same time as binding off and the yarn overs are bind off as normal stitches.

Je suis du Québec et nous parlons français. Combien dois-je monter de mailles pour le dos et combien pour le devant. Je ne trouve rien à ce sujet. Merci

Bonjour Mme Gervais, si besoin, vous pouvez changer la langue en "français" en cliquant sur le menu déroulant sous la photo. Le pull se tricote de haut en bas en commençant par l'épaule droite du dos, vous retrouverez ainsi le nombre de mailles à monter pour la première épaule sous ÉPAULE DROITE: Monter 12-13 (14-14-16-17) mailles (y compris 1 maille lisière de chaque côté) avec l'aiguille circulaire 5,5 en Air. ... Bon tricot!
18.01.2023 kl. 17:04Ich bin sehr begeisterte Strickerin Ihrer tollen Anleitungen. Mir geht es jedoch wie Frau Zischler, Kommentar vom 18.09.2022. Maschenprobe und Masse stimmen für Grösse 98/104, aber die angegebene Menge von 150 g reichen bei mir auch nicht. Schade, so muss ich ebenfalls 1 einzelnen Knäuel nachbestellen...
26.09.2022 - 21:00Dies ist bestimmt schon meine 6. Handarbeit, die ich nachstricke. Ich bestelle auch immer die Wolle über Ihren Link und jedesmal benötige ich 50 g mehr, muss also immer nachbestellen mit Extra-Porto für 1 Knäuel. Diesmal hab ich gleich 200 g Wolle bestellt für einen Pullover mit 150 g Wollverbrauch und jeetzt reichen nicht mal 200 g. Jetzt hab ich wieder die Mehrkosten für 1 Knäuel. Das ist sehr ärgerlich. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, 1 Knäuel günstiger zu schicken?
18.09.2022 - 06:46DROPS Design answered:
Liebe Frau Zischler, stimmt jeweils Ihre Maschenprobe genauso in der Breite wie in der Höhe? Hier lesen Sie mehr über die Maschenprobe - Fragen Sie mal Ihr DROPS Laden, ob sie Ihnen einige Möglichkeiten anbieten können. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
19.09.2022 kl. 09:59Onko tämä hyvin pientä kokoa? Neuloin 6kk vanhalle 9kg vauvalle koon 12/18 eli n. 86, mutta jos sovitus vaiheessa selvästi liian pieni, ainoastaan selkä pituus riittävä, ympärys liian napakka ja hihan suut vaikka päätelty erittäin löyhästi koon 6 puikoilla liian ahtaat. Jos neulon koon 2-3v paita varmasti huomattavasti liian pitkä?

09.03.2022 kl. 11:26Scusate quando scrivete il numero delle maglie di avviare e poi tra parentesi scrivete compresa 1 maglia di vivagno per lato cosa vuol dire che avvio per esempio 16 e poi ne aggiungo due quindi 18 in totale ? Oppure che sono già comprese nelle 16? Grazie
07.02.2022 - 15:22DROPS Design answered:
Buonasera Francesca, le maglie di vivagno sono già comprese nel conteggio delle maglie. Buon lavoro!
07.02.2022 kl. 23:05Die cm-Angaben, z.B beim Rückenteil, dass man nach 15cm (Größe 110/116) 2 maschen anschlagen soll, ab wann gelten die 15cm? Ab dem ersten Anschlag, also inkl. Schultern oder erst ab den 58 Maschen, wenn man die Schultern mit dem Rückenteil verstrickt hat? Ich bin Anfängerin

Liebe Tiri, messen Sie diese 15 cm vom Schulter an = Armausschnitt (siehe Maßskizze). Viel Spaß beim stricken!
02.12.2021 kl. 08:46What does this mean: Cast on 12-13 (14-14-16-17) stitches (including 1 edge stitch on each side)? Am I to cast on 12 stitches or 14 for the 6/9? What is an edge stitch?
30.09.2021 - 06:23DROPS Design answered:
Hi Nan, The 12 cast on stitches include the 2 edge stitches, so just cast on 12. Happy knitting!
30.09.2021 kl. 09:44Buon giorno. nelle istruzioni si parla di usare ferri circolari. poi le foto dimostrano i ferri "normali". Quali allora ? Grazie ! cordiali saluti Cristina
17.09.2021 - 08:37DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Cristina, al di fuori dell'Italia, è consuetudine utilizzare i ferri circolari anche per i lavori in piano come in questo caso. Dal momento che questo maglione è lavorato in parti separate, può utilizzare i ferri che ritiene più comodi. Buon lavoro!
17.09.2021 kl. 10:00Buongiorno,\r\nSto realizzando le maniche. Mi chiedevo se si possono lavorare in tondo o se devo lavorarle come strisce e vanno cucite dopo. Non mi è molto chiaro come cucire tutto dopo.\r\nGrazie
11.04.2021 - 12:03DROPS Design answered:
Buongiorno Daniela, le maniche si lavorano in piano e vengono cucite alla fine del lavoro. Buon lavoro!
