What do you do when you get to the corner? How do you attach the next square?

Bonjour pour relier les granys du top Bohème, est ce la même technique ?? merci pour votre réponse

DROPS Design answered:

Bonjour Mme Poix, si vous pensez à ce modèle, alors non, la technique est différente: posez 2 carrés endroit contre endroit et crochetez en piquant dans les 2 carrés en même temps: 1 ms dans le coin, *3 ml, 1 ms autour de l'arceau suivant des 2 carrés*, répétez de *-* et terminez par 1 ms dans le dernier arceau. Bon crochet!

Beklager, men jeg er ikke særligt velbevandret udi hækling. Jeg er ved at montere ruderne, men mine masker vender modsat hinanden, når ruderne vender vrang mod vrang, og instruktionsvideoens ruder har maskerne samme vej??? Min logik siger, at de ikke kan vende samme vej, men måske kan I forklare hvordan de skal ligge?

Instruktionsvideo: Hækl ruder sammen Jeg har svært ved at se, hvor de 2 fm hækles på del 2 i videoen: "2 lm lige over til 2.del, 2 fm i 2.del* "

DROPS Design answered:

Hej Conny, du har 3 masker imellem hver. Men hvis du synes det bliver bedre med flere eller færre antal masker imellem, så gør du bare det. God fornøjelse!

Ik maak de Seaside Blues. In het filmpje wordt duidelijk hoe twee vierkantjes aan elkaar kunnen worden gehaakt, maar hoe moet ik er 4 met elkaar verbinden. Hoe maak ik het kruispunt en hoe zorg ik dat ik er niet steeds na 2 hoef af te hechten?

DROPS Design answered:

Hallo Inge, Je kan op dezelfde manier gewoon verder gaan met de volgende 2 vierkanten, dus je hoeft niet af te hechten, maar begint weer in de hoek en gaat zo verder heen en weer. Als je op deze manier een aantal vierkanten aan elkaar hebt gezet, kun je dit daarna op dezelfde manier overdwars doen.

On the sea side blues pattern, how do you do the border

Dear Mrs Collins, in this pattern there is no finishing edge around the whole blanket, when all squares have been crocheted together blanket is done. Happy crocheting!

Hei. Jeg holder på å lage bestemorruter til et teppe (for min kommende nevø, baby), et teppe til å ha i vogna over dyna. Tenkte å gjøre det tett, som et lappeteppe (?). Har dere en annen måte som viser hvordan man kan "sette de isammen" tett, rett ved siden av hverandre? (Ikke sånn som i videoen over, da d blir mellomrom mellom lappene). På forhånd takk! :)

Hej Drops. Jeg kan ikke få denne video, om hvordan man hækler to bedstemor ruder sammen - til at passe med bolero 139-31 - for på den bolero, er der ingen åbninger eller masker på tværs. Så har i en video der viser den sammenhækling? Hilsen Eva

I am trying to finish 137 the Lilly of the Valley poncho, can I use this technique to join the squares?

I'm sorry but you have been of no help than what I asked . Maybe I can not explain well why the space to write the comment is limited

12.04.2016 - 12:07

DROPS Design answered:

Hello Paola. Join first and second square tog; then just carry on joining third and forth square with the squares you’ve already joined. The dotted line you find in diag. A2 (pattern 148-40) can help you. You can get help in Italian or you can contact your Drops store for individual assistance. Happy crocheting!

Yes of course I'm doing the blanket SIERRA LEONE but the model is not clear how to combine the square that I have already joined vertically with those who have joined horizontally.

08.04.2016 - 12:28

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Paola, you can join all the squares in vertical stripes (or horizontal if you prefer) as showed in the video, and then using the same technique you can join all the stripes together. Happy crocheting!

Good morning. I did not understand two things : 1 ) if you have to do all the square and then merge them all first horizontally and then vertically ; 2 ) how to combine the third with the fourth square . Thank you

07.04.2016 - 10:01

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Paola, are you following a pattern? In all patterns, in the assembly section, it's explained how to crochet the squares together and in which order. Happy crocheting!

Rhapsody in rose Assembly : it states beg in bottom edge up to neck ( ok that makes sense ) And opposite side of MIDDLE square

07.03.2016 - 18:23

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Cindy, you will crochet the mid square to the 2 squares on each side: start at the bottom edge on the right side of mid square and crochet this side to the other side along 1 side (= up to the tip of mid square), then crochet the mid square tog along left side to the next square on the left side. Happy crocheting!

When joining squares by crotchet, how do you join the corners once you have crochet vertically?

13.09.2015 - 10:29

DROPS Design answered:

Dear Arbaiah Aird, when you have crocheted the squares tog horizontally, work the bands together the same way vertically. Happy crocheting!
