21) How do I prevent a hairy garment from shedding?
All yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding.
Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no shedding
Below are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:
1. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.
2. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.
3. Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.
4. Wash the garment according to the instructions on the yarn label.

For front, if I decrease two stitches one time, the front will be wonky. It should be decrease two stitches TWO times. Then if I decrease one stitch ten times, that is a total decrease of 14 stitches. 98 stitches minus 14 stitches equals 84 stitches, not 74 stitches. Do I decrease as in the pattern so that I have 84 stitches or decrease so I have 74 stitches?

Dear Jacqui, you need to decrease two stitches one time on each side (each armhole). Then you decrease 1 stitch ten times on each side as well. So, you will decrease 24 stitches (12 on each side). 98-24 = 74 stitches. Happy knitting!
29.05.2022 kl. 22:44Sorry - I am still confused by this: “ at the beginning of each row as follows: Bind off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2-5-6-7-10-14 times = 60-62-66-70-74-76 stitches.”

Dear Christine, you cast off 2 stitches at the beginning of the first row (RS) and the next row (WS). Then, you cast off 1 stitch at the beginning of the next row (RS) and the beginning of the following row (WS). You cast off 1 stitch in a total of 2-5... rows (duplicate the amount of rows, because 1 time = from the RS and the WS), depending on your size. Happy knitting!

Dear Betsy, measure a similar garment you have and like the shape and compare to the measurements in the chart, then choose your own desired ease - read more here. Happy knitting!
24.11.2021 kl. 07:38Bonjour J'ai rabattu les mailles pour l'emmanchure. Je vais commencer à tricoter le devant. Est ce que je dois couper le fil ? Merci pour votre aide.

Bonjour Christine, pas forcément, vous pouvez simplement tourner et tricoter le rang suivant sur l'envers sur la moitié des mailles (et glisser l'autre moitié des mailles en attente). Bon tricot!
16.11.2021 kl. 16:27Hvad er forskellen på denne og model ai-246?

Hei Sara. Ikke så veldig mye. Fargen, pinnestr på vrangbord, 210-28 er litt lengre i de største størrelsene og litt forskjell på forstykket og bakstykket. mvh DROPS Design
28.09.2021 kl. 15:02In the materials description is written knitting needles 4.5mm for the rib, but in the pattern description it says 4mm. Which size should I use?

Dear Anna, rib should be worked with needle size 4 mm - pattern will be edited, thanks for your feedback. Happy knitting!
02.09.2021 kl. 08:55I’m so sorry, I don’t understand what this means: Bind off 2 stitches 1 time and 1 stitch 2-5-6-7-10-14 times?

Dear Avril, at the beg of next 2 rows cast off 2 sts (= 2 sts 1 time on each side), then cast off at the beg of rows on each side (= both from RS and from WS): 1 stitch 2 times in size S (= cast off 1 stitch at the beg of next 4 rows), 5 times in size M (= cast off 1 st at the beg of next 10 rows), etc.. Happy knitting!
