EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
GARTER STITCH (back and forth):
Knit all rows.
1 ridge vertically = knit 2 rows.
PATTERN:
Head band: See diagram A.1.
Neck warmer: See diagram A.2.
Mittens: See diagrams A.3, A.4 and A.5.
Diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from the right side.
INCREASE TIP-1 (applies to neck warmer):
BEFORE MARKER:
The new stitch will be twisted, leaning towards the right.
Use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up strand from behind and knit stitch in front loop.
AFTER MARKER:
The new stitch will be twisted, leaning towards the left.
Use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up strand from the front and knit stitch in back loop.
INCREASE TIP-2 (evenly):
To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 54 stitches), and minus stitches in garter stitch in each side (e.g. 4 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 12) = 4.1. In this example increase by making 1 yarn over after approx. every 4th stitch. On next row work yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
INCREASE TIP-3 (applies to mittens):
Increase 1 stitch by making 1 yarn over. On next round knit yarn over twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease in stockinette stitch section on the under side of mitten as follows:
Decrease as follows after marker: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (= 1 stitch decreased), work until 2 stitches remain before next marker, knit 2 together (= 1 stitch decreased).

HEAD BAND:
Cast on 31 stitches on circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Alaska. Purl 1 row from wrong side. Then work pattern from right side as follows: 2 edge stitches in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above, A.1 over the next 27 stitches, 2 edge stitches in garter stitch. Continue back and forth like this. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue like this until piece measures 49 cm = 19 1/4", or desired length - adjust to finish after or 4th or 10th row in A.1. Bind off. Sew together head band inside cast-on and bind-off edge.
-------------------------------------------------------
NECK WARMER - SHORT SUMMARY OF PIECE:
Worked top down. First work in the round until increase for shoulder is done. Then finish front piece and back piece separately.
NECK WARMER:
Cast on 76-84 stitches on a short circular needle size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Alaska. Knit 1 round. Then work rib as follows: (Knit 2/purl 2) over the first 12-16 stitches, insert 1st marker here, work A.2 over the next 12 stitches (= shoulder stitches), insert 2nd marker here, purl 2, (knit 2/purl 2) over the next 24-28 stitches, insert 3rd marker here, work A.2 over the next 12 stitches (= shoulder stitches), insert 4th marker here, purl 2, (knit 2/purl 2) over the last 12-12 stitches. Continue in the round like this for 8 cm = 3 1/8". Switch to circular needle size 5.5 mm = US 9. Insert a marker at beginning of round. Now measure piece from here. Now work pattern as follows:
SADDLE SHOULDER INCREASE:
Continue with A.2 over shoulder stitches in each side and work in stockinette stitch over the remaining stitches on round, at the same time on first round increase 4 stitches: Increase BEFORE 1st and 3rd marker, and AFTER 2nd and 4th marker- read INCREASE TIP-1. There are only increases on back piece and front piece and number of shoulder stitches remains the same. Increase like this on every round 14-16 times in total = 132-148 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
Work next round as follows: Knit until shoulder stitches, bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl over the 12 shoulder stitches, knit over the next 54-62 stitches before slipping them on a stitch holder for front piece, bind off the next 12 shoulder stitches, knit over all the 54-62 stitches on back piece.

Hi I see there are a few knitters having the same problem am having with the neckwarmer am making the large size. Is the pattern worked back and forth the joined an work in the round? At last sett of instruction says to: A.2 over the next 12 stitches (= shoulder stitches), insert 4th marker here, purl 2, (knit 2/purl 2) over the last 12-12 stitches. But I only have 12 sts to work sit here. How do I correct this? S

Dear Sharon, when starting the neck warmer, you have 84 stitches. Work rib over the first 16 stitches, insert marker between the stitches, A.2 over 12 stitches , insert marker between the stitches, purl 2 , work rib over 28 stitches, insert marker between the stitches, work A.2 over the next 12 stitches, insert marker between the stitches, purl 2, work rib over the last 12 stitches. 16+12+2+28+12+2+12 = 84 stitches. Happy knitting!
25.06.2023 kl. 14:29Försöker mig på halsvärmaren men får avslut på två räta efter2 a markören stickat 24 m och efter 3 e markör börjar det m räta. Blir ju fyra räta efter varandra på den sidan då.. Blir inte lika på andra.. får inte maskorna att stämma.

Hei Silje. Ta en titt på oppskrift 217-23, eller så søk på sadelskulder oppskrifter. Kanskje du finner noe som faller i smak. mvh DROPS Design
14.02.2022 kl. 13:30Hello, I am knitting the neck warmer, S/M size. I cast on 76 stitches, but when I add up the stitches for the first round of the rib, it only comes to 72 stitches. What am I supposed to do with the extra 4 stitches? Thank you.
24.01.2022 - 11:39DROPS Design answered:
Dear Jane, work the 76 stitches as follows: Knit 2/Purl 2 over the first 12 sts, marker, A.2 (= 12 sts), marker, P2, K2/P2 over the next 24 sts, marker, A.2 (= 12 sts), marker, P2, K2/P2 over the last 12 sts, you should have: 12+12+2+24+12+2+12= 76 sts. Maybe you forgot the P2 after A.2 and before rib K2/P2? Hope it will help, happy knitting!

Hej Jessica. Se svar under. Mvh DROPS Design
24.01.2022 kl. 07:51Jag förstår inte diagrammet och beskrivningen för pannbandet alls. Finns det en skriven beskrivning som förklarar det, tyvärr blir jag inte klokare av de videos som finns heller.

Hej Jessica. Nej vi har dessvärre ingen annan beskrivning än denna. Du börjar längst ner från höger på diagrammet och läser/stickar mot vänster. På nästa varv stickar du från vänster till höger på diagrammet. Är det något speciellt som blir fel så kanske vi kan hjälpa dig? Mvh DROPS Design
24.01.2022 kl. 07:51Hallo, Beim Kragenschal kommt die Einteilung mit 76 nicht hin. Bei mir sind es 72 (12,12,24,12,12)

Markierer, A.2 (= 12 M), 4. Markierer, 2 li, Rippenmuster (2 re, 2 li) über 12 M = 12+12+26+12+14=76 Maschen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
20.12.2021 kl. 07:35Which needle size is the gauge/tension measured in pattern 214-49 for the neck warmer? Should I measure gauge with size 4.5mm or 5.5mm?
11.11.2021 - 16:47DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mary, tension/gauge should be worked with larger needles = 5,5 mm and stocking stitch. Smaller needles will just be used for the rib. Happy knitting!
11.11.2021 kl. 17:42I noticed that there are 4 extra stitches on both when I counted where you divide there’s 72 stitches and 80 for the other
