How to start working the vest in DROPS 210-4

Video thumbnail for How to start working the vest in DROPS 210-4
In this DROPS video we show how we start working a garment in English rib after charts, like the Mountain Moraine vest in DROPS 210-4 and the Easy Over vest in DROPS 217-13. We already have worked the neck to 210-4, but we work with fewer stitches than it says in the pattern (the neck in 217-13 is longer). We start the video by showing round 1 where the chart A.1, A.2 and A.3 is worked. We use stitch markers between each chart to get a better overview. Work pattern as follows: A.1 (= 2 stitches) over the first 4 stitches (= half back piece), A.2 (= 2 stitches), A.1 over 6 stitches, A.3 (= 2 stitches = shoulder), A.1 over 8 stitches (= front piece), A.2 over 2 stitches, A.1 over 6 stitches, A.3 over 2 stitches (= shoulder) and A.1 over the last 4 stitches (= half back piece). In this video we show round 1- 8, see also video Part 2. These vestes are worked in DROPS Air, but in the video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on one of the pictures below and other relevant videos.

Hei igjen, jeg finner faktisk ikke videoen som viser dette. Bare den som er fra start til avslutning av A1. Når jeg skal begynne på A1a finner jeg ikke noen video. Er det noe jeg gjør galt her?

DROPS Design :

Hei Britt. Det er den samme videoen. Når du har strikket A.1, A.2 og A.3 1 gang i høyden (diagrammene strikkes samtidig), gjentas A.1a, A.2a og A.3a i høyden. Det økes når du strikker A.2a og A.3a der det er et X (x`et gjentas på hver 6. omgang). God Fornøyelse!

Skal X på A.2 alltid være på nest siste maske/rute? Jeg har strikket X på 5. rute fra start, det ser feil ut, da det blir midt på ermet etterhvert!

DROPS Design :

Hei Marit. Ja, X`en vil alltid være på nest siste maske/rute når A.2 strikkes. Sette gjerne en masketråd/markør mellom diagrammene så har du en bedre oversikt på hver omgang. Se også gjerne videoen som er laget til denne vesten: "Hvordan starte å strikke vesten i DROPS 210-4". God Fornøyelse!

Hei, strikker vest 210-4 og har et spørsmål vedrørende at jeg skal begynne på A.1a. I oppskrifta står det at jeg skal øke hver 6 omgang, er det fra når jeg begynte å strikke A.1 eller er det helt fra start. Hvor mye skal det økes hver 6 omgang?

30.09.2020 - 19:00

DROPS Design :

Hei Britt. Økningene skjer i diagram A.2 og A.3 (hver 6. omgang). A.1a strikkes uten økninger. Ta gjerne en titt på videoen som er laget til den vesten, den viser hvordan 1. til 4. omgang strikkes etter diagram A.1, A.2 og A.3. (med økninger). God Fornøyelse!

Merci pour la vidéo, j'ai enfin réussi à commencer le débardeur. Par contre je ne suis pas sûr de comprendre la suite du diagramme. Est-ce que le diagramme A.2a correspond à la partie de l'épaule ou est-ce qu'on tricote les mailles selon A.2a puis A.3a puis à nouveau A.2a et A.3a à la suite, sans faire attention au dos/épaule/devant, etc. je n'obtiens pas la forme des épaules! Merci pour votre réponse rapide. Meilleures salutations

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Anne-Françoise, les parties A.2a et A.3a sont les rangs des diagrammes A.2 et A.3 à répéter en hauteur de part et d'autre des mailles de l'épaule. Ils montrent comment faire les augmentations et à quelle fréquence. Bon tricot!

How to start working a garment in English rib after charts - Part 2

In this DROPS video we show how to continue working after charts A.1, A.2 and A.3 used in the Mountain Moraine vest in DROPS 210-4 and the Easy Over vest in DROPS 217-13. We have already worked chart A.1 once in height and now only A.1a is repeated over A.1 in height. In the video we show how to work round 9. (increase round) and round 10, then we work round 15 (increase round) and round 16. Then we work A.2a over A.2 and A.3a over A.3 (we show the first round of A.2a and A.3a). When all the increases are finished (read the pattern for the number of increases), work A.1a over all stitches until the work has the correct measurements (read the pattern for measurements). Adjust so the next round is purled. These vests are worked in DROPS Air, but in the video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find patterns by clicking on one of the pictures below and other relevant videos.

In this DROPS video we show how we work the beginning to the saddle shoulders with pouffe sleeves, working back and forth, like it is worked in the “White Water Jacket” in DROPS 222-26.

We use the stitch numbers in the smallest size and we have already worked the neck edge (3 cm = 1 1/8"). We start the video by showing which stitches are set on a thread (front pieces and back piece). The saddle shoulders are worked separately. Read in the pattern under SADDLE SHOULDERS how it is worked. This jacket is worked in 2 threads DROPS Kid Silk but in the video, we use 1 thread DROPS Air.

How to work a body with English rib together again

In this DROPS video we show how we work a body together again in English rib after binding off stitches for sleeve opening, as it is done in the Mountain Moraine vest in DROPS 210-4. We have a fewer number of stitches than what is written in the pattern. Work front piece according to chart A1a, (work garter stitches now as 1st stitch in A.1a), cast on new stitches under 1st sleeve, work back piece after the same chart (A.1a), cast on new stitches under 2nd sleeve / at the end of the round. Now work A.1a in the round over all the stitches. On the first round work the 3 cast-on stitches under each sleeve without yarn overs. This vest is worked in DROPS Air, but in the video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly.

How to divide a piece for front and back pieces and how to bind off shoulder stitches in English rib

In this DROPS video we show how to divide a piece for front and back pieces and how to bind off shoulder stitches, as done in vests in DROPS 210-4 and 217-13. In the Slippery Slopes Sweater in 217-14 we dont bind off the stitches for the sleeve opening, but put the shoulder stitches on a thread. We have fewer stitches than what is written in the patterns. Start in the middle of the back and work the number of stitches written in the pattern, we work 13 stitches in English rib, 1 stitch in garter stitch (K1), then bind off stitches for the 1st sleeve opening (yarn overs are bind off as separate stitches to avoid the bind-off edge being tight). Work English rib over the front piece, 1 garter stitch (K1), bind off to the 2nd sleeve opening, 1 garter stitch(K1) and then work English rib rest of the round. Cut the strand. Allow the other stitches to remain on the needle.Work from RS (the stitches must now be moved to the left side of the needle). Work as follows from RS: 1 garter stitch (K1), A.4 until 1 stitch remains and finish with 1 stitch in garter stitch (K1). Work like this back and forth to the stated size in the pattern (make sure that the last row is from WS). Work the front piece the same as the back piece (the stitches are moved to the left needle). These vests are worked in DROPS Air, but in the video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern and look at the charts to be able to follow this video properly.

How to increase for the yoke for a garment with a saddle shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to increase for the yoke for a garment with saddle shoulder by increasing 8 stitches on one round. This technique is used in the "Country Muse" sweater in DROPS 216-40 and the "Country Muse Cardigan" jacket in DROPS 216-39. We have already worked a neckline, increases for saddle shoulders and sleeve and start the video by moving sleeve markers to the stitches where increase for the yoke should be. Increase like this: Start before the marker-stitch, use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up strand from behind and knit stitch in front loop, work marker-stitch in stocking stitch as before, use left needle to pick up strand between 2 stitches from the row below, pick up strand from the front and knit stitch in back loop (= 1 stitch increased on each side of the marker-stitch). The sweater in DROPS 216-40 and the jacket in DROPS 216-39 are worked in DROPS Lima, but in the video we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow.
