I already commented, but I’m still confused. Row 1 of the cuff (I’m assuming this is RS?) k1p1…end with k2. Row 2 (WS?) k1, k1p1 to end of row. Repeat for two cm. In the video, the button hole bind off is done on the k1, k1p1 side, which I thought was the WS. The pattern says bind off on RS. Help!!!!

DROPS Design :

Dear Tara, work the rib from RS with 1 st in garter st, then (K1, P1) until 2 sts remain, finish with K1 and 1 st in garter st, from WS work K over K and P over P (= 1 st in garter st, (P1, K1) until 2 sts remain, finish with P1, 1 st in garter st). Work the 2 buttonholes on a RS row as explained in the written pattern (the first one after the first 3 sts, the 2nd one when 5 sts remain on needle). Happy knitting!

I’m working on the cuff, and I’m having trouble understanding. Is the button hole bind off on the WS? I’m making the assumption that row 1 is RS. Maybe I’m wrong on this?

11.12.2022 - 03:02

DROPS Design :

Dear Tara, no, you cast off for the buttonhole when working from the RS (as stated in the pattern). That is, you cast off when you are working the first row from the RS after the piece measures 2cm. Happy knitting!

For the loose cuff: what does "1 st in Garter St" mean? I understand your instructions "Garter Stitch -- knit back and forth on needle." But the video looks like it is ribbed (K1 P1) right from the casted-on stitches.

05.12.2021 - 01:00

DROPS Design :

Dear Deb, you work 1 edge stitch at each side (at the beginning and end of the row), which is always knitted, while all the other stitches are ribbed. Happy knitting!

Jeg har sett denne videoen flere ganger for å prøve å finne ut hvordan eg får strikket opp 16 masker på hver side av 1 kant maske? Når eg strikker etter denne oppskriften, får eg ikke strikket opp 16 masker på den største størrelsen i oppskriften.

18.04.2021 - 15:05

DROPS Design :

Hei Pernille. Er strikkefastheten overholdt? Når du har strikket 10 cm skal du i høyden ha strikket 17 pinner (10 x 10 cm = 13 m x 17 p glstrikk med 2 tråder). Du skal da fint greie å strikke opp 1 masker i hver av disse 17 radene for å få strikket opp 16 masker (1 rad det må hoppes over). mvh DROPS design

Ik ben begonnen aan de Moon Socks, maat 35/37. De beschrijving is niet heel erg duidelijk, maar met behulp van de video kom ik een heel eind. Ik heb een vraag over stap 3 van de Voet. In de beschrijving staat dat je voor maat 35/37 7 cm moet breien. Deze lengte is begrijpelijk voor een kinderslofje, maar ik heb het gevoel dat ik voor maat 35/37 een aantal cm's te kort kom. Klopt dit of begrijp ik het patroon toch niet helemaal. Ik hoor graag van u. Vriendelijke groet, Fiek

DROPS Design :

Dag Fiek,

De 7 cm is inderdaad voor maat 35/37. Er wordt naderhand nog een manchet op gemaakt aan de bovenkant, vandaar dat het wat kort kan lijken nu.

Dans la vidéo vous utilisez le fil drop eskimo avec quel numéro d' aiguilles . Merci

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Lotterie, nous utilisons des aiguilles 6, comme dans les explications du modèle ( 2 fils du groupe C (= Nepal) = 1 fil du groupe E (= Eskimo/Snow) - plus d'infos ici). Bon tricot!

Forstår ikke hvordan eg strikker str.35/37. Det står i oppskrift " herfra måles arbeid". Hvordan? Uansett hvordan eg strikker så blir foten altfor liten. Strikker liten str men om eg strikker 10 cm som er str. 40/42 så blir likevel foten for liten. Må være noe eg gjør feil.

03.06.2020 - 10:06

DROPS Design :

Hei Marit. Når du er ferdig med skaftet og starter med foten, skal det strikkes 7 cm (i den minste str og dette er oppå risten). Deretter settes maskene du har på tråden tilbake på pinnen, samtidig som det strikkes 12 masker opp på hver side av midtstykket (det partiet du nettopp har strikket) og det er herfra du nå skal måle. Tøffelen er strikket med 2 tråder Nepal og med vrangbord, slik at den blir ganske elastisk. God Fornøyelse!

I have never been so confused reading a knitting pattern before. I've been working at it for a few hours now and I just can't do it anymore. I love Drops yarn but I need audio in the videos and for the videos to be much slower. None of this slowing down and speeding up stuff. I need to see all the steps to figure out what is confusing me. I thought the flap I was knitting was the heel but maybe it's actually supposed to be the top of the foot. Argggh.

DROPS Design :

Dear Michelle, our videos have no sound just because we are an international company and not every one is understanding english - remember to read the pattern at the same time you will watch the video - and see the "info" under the video, you can adjust the speed of each of our videos by clicking on the icon on the play bar. Happy knitting!

I have watched the video numerous time and I'm still not sure what is happening in the first purl stitch shown or what its relationship is to the stitches that will be put on the holder. I do not see this described in the instructions and I don't have a local knitting store so any additional help that you can give me will be appreciated!

11.11.2019 - 00:51

DROPS Design :

Dear Mary, when you start working over the stitches for upper foot, you first have to increase 1 stitch on each side, then you decrease - video is not showing the increases on each side, only the decreases. Remember you always can contact your DROPS store even per mail. Happy knitting!

How to knit a sock with a square heel

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit a sock with a square heel. The stitches on top of the foot are placed on a thread, while the stitches at the back are kept on the needles and the heel is worked as follows (the heel extends under the foot): 1) The heel is worked back and forth across the heel-stitches to achieve the correct height. For this type of heel, the length reaches midway under the heel. 2) Next, the heel is knitted together beneath the foot. 3) The sock is then continued in the round, with stitches picked up along both sides of the heel length, working towards the toe. 4) This heel creates a square shape, which is why this type of heel is known as a square heel.

How to knit a sock with a gusset heel – short overview

In this DROPS video, we show you how to knit a sock with a gusset heel - arguably the most common method for working a heel. To begin, the stitches on top of the foot are placed on a thread, while the stitches at the back are kept on the needles and the heel is worked as follows: 1) The heel is first worked in height, back and forth across the heel-stitches. 2) Next, the bottom of the heel is worked to the required width and length by working short rows and decreasing stitches. 3) Once this step is completed, continue knitting in the round across all stitches, knitting up stitches on both sides of the heel (along the length). 4) The width and shape of the foot is worked by decreasing stitches on both sides, forming a small gusset heel – that is why this type of heel is known as a gusset heel.

How to start a sock with a flounce

In this DROPS video we show how to start a sock with a flounce, like the “Dainty Duo” socks in DROPS 229-19. We cast on with 2 strands, but continue with 1 strand. Then we knit 4 rounds and on the next round we knit all stitches together 2 by 2. Then we work a rib (knit 1 twisted/purl 1). These socks are worked in DROPS Fabel, but in the video, we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.

How to work the slippers in DROPS 203-37

In this DROPS video we show how to work the “Carrot Squash” slippers in DROPS 203-37. We have already cast on stitches for size 35/37 and start the video by showing round 1 (only Knit). Then the rib, K1, P1. After the rib put 31 stitches on a stitch holder, work the other stitches back and forth. Then work these stitches, the new pickup stitches along the sides and the stitches from the stitch holder, and work around again. Decrease stitches and work around to finish measurement, cast off and fold the slipper and sew under foot in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch. These slippers are worked in DROPS Snow, the same yarn we use in the video. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.
