I am knitting the Dandelion Sweater- DROPS 243-16- I have bound off for the neckline. When you say "Bind off stitches on the next row from the neck" and then clarified that this should be starting from the neck- does this mean we should be attaching new balls of yarn at the neck?

DROPS Design :

Dear Lisa, after the middle stitches for neck are cast off you will finish each shoulder separately, and at the next row beginning from neck towards shoulder (i.e. from WS on right shoulder back piece/left shoulder front piece / from RS on left shoulder back piece/right shoulder front piece) cast off new stitches for neck. Happy knitting!

Ich habe ein Problem am Halsausschnitt vom Kleid Autumn lane... Welche Maschen lege ich auf den Hilfsfaden? Die mit der kraus Rippe? - und auf welcher Seite soll dann ab gekettet werden? Werde aus der Anleitung nicht ganz schlau...

DROPS Design :

Liebe Anke, für den Halsausschnitt legen Sie die ersten 6-6-7-7-7-8 Maschen am Anfang einer Hin-Reihe beim rechten Vorderteil / einer Rückreihe beim linken Vorderteil, dh die ersten Maschen ab Hals; diese Maschen strickt man später wieder für den Kragen, wenn man die Maschen um den Hals auffassen wird. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Hi there I’m doing pattern drops 219-4 no. ee-697. I’m stuck - I’ve out 10 stitches on thread for neck but don’t understand how to continue back and forth in the round when there is a gap where the stitches are on the thread - can you please help me out- thank you so much 🌸

10.12.2023 - 05:14

DROPS Design :

Dear Annie, since you are working back and forth (not in the round) you work from one side of the gap all around the yoke until the other side of the gap, then turn and work back. So you will be working in rows from now on. Also, at the beginning of the rows, you may need to cast off sts as explained for the decreases for the neck. Happy knitting!

I am knitting pattern no. 243-16. I am having trouble with the section of the pattern called OVERVIEW OF THE NEXT SECTION regarding the beginning of the neckline. NECKLINE: I worked the row and bound off 16 stitches. From there I don’t know what to do. Your instructions don’t make sense. Could you please be more specific with the instructions on the two stitches to bind off from the neck edge. Work to the end of the row? Turn my work? Please clarify.

DROPS Design :

Dear Mary, finish the row and work each shoulder separately. With the stitches of one shoulder and while continuing with A.1 (rib) cast off the first 2 stitches on the next row which starts from the side of the neck . At the beginning of the next row, from the side, work in A.1 and place the first 6 stitches on a thread. Repeat on the next row starting from the side. Then, on the next row starting from the side, place the remaining stitches on the thread. All of the shoulder stitches should be on the thread now and this has helped you obtain the diagonal shape. Place all stitches back and continue working as indicated, then repeat in the other shoulder. Happy knitting!

He llegado a la separación de espalda/delantero.Una separación en hilo. Mi pregunta: ¿ cómo trabajo de ida y vta ? No entiendo . Gracias

04.10.2023 - 18:09

DROPS Design :

Hola Carmen, en primer lugar, qué patrón estás trabajando? En segundo lugar, para trabajar de ida y vuelta por separado (si es el caso), se deja una de las dos partes en un gancho auxiliar o hilo y se continúa trabajando en una de las partes. Como solo tienes una parte de la prenda, no podrás trabajar en redondo, sino que trabajarás por filas, de ida y vuelta. Este es un caso general; por favor indica el número del patrón para que podamos darte ayuda más detallada.

Hej Jag förstår inte hur jag ska sticka för ärmarna. Först ska det maskas av 10 naskor på 2 v. Sedan ska jag trä maskor på en tråd. En maska ett varv o sedan en maska på nästa varv. Stickar jag raglan? Synd att det inte finns filmer steg för steg efter mönstret så man kunde följa tröjan på nätet med ljud. Tack för fina garn o mönster :)

Hej igen Hoppas att jag kan få hjälp på min tidigare fråga. För att förtydliga är det 76 maskor dom jag nu har på en 80 cm rundsticka, vilken är för lång för dessa 76. Är det en kortare jag skall införskaffa eller är det något fel jag gjort? Jättetacksam för återkoppling.

DROPS Design :

Hei Kerstin. Husk du skal strikke frem og tilbake over disse 76 maskene, ikke rundt og da spiller det ingen rolle hvor mange masker det er. Se også vårt svar på ditt forrige spørsmål. mvh DROPS Design

Hej Gäller väst 235-17 Har kommit dit jag skall sticka bak- och framstycke var för sig . Använt rundsticka 5 80 cm och står inte att jag skall byta till 40 cm tex. Går inte att sticka med 80 cm längd?? Har jag gjort fel eller????

28.02.2023 - 18:20

DROPS Design :

Hei Kerstin. Du skal fremdeles strikke med rundpinne 5 - 80 cm, men nå strikkes forstykket og bakstykket ferdig hver for seg. Når du strikker bakstykket, lar du maskene til forstykket "hvile" på samme rundpinne, du strikker bare over maskene til bakstykket. Og når bakstykket er ferdig, strikker du over maskene til forstykket på rundpinnen, frem og tilbake. Om du liker best å strikke frem og tilbake med lange parpinner og har dette, kan du fint sette maskene til forstykket på en tråd og deretter strikke maskene til bakstykket på parpinner og omvendt. mvh DROPS Design

Kan I forklarer mig, hvordan jeg gør dette ? På forhånd tak Vivi

DROPS Design :

Hei Vivi Når du strikker etter skrå skulder må du også lese hals, da ting skjer samtidig. Du strikker 5 masker, sett disse på 1 tråd, strikk pinnen ut, snu, strikk 5 masker, sett disse maskene på 1 tråd, strikk pinnen ut, snu strikk 5 masker, sett disse på 1 tråd, strikk pinnen ut, snu, strikk 5 masker, sett disse på 1 tråd. HUSK samtidig når arbeidet måler 54 cm, så skal de 26 midterste masken felles til hals. Deretter settes 8 maskene på hver skulder på en tråd. Når alle masker sitter på tråden, settes maskene tilbake på rundpinne 5. Strikk 1 pinne over alle maskene. mvh DROPS Design

How to work German Short Rows – with a double stitch round on the needle

German short rows = The work is turned in the middle of a row. When working short rows, there will be a small hole - this can be closed by tightening the thread or using the German short row technique. Row 1 (= right side): Knit until where the piece is to be turned, turn, when it is knitted further there will be a small hole at the turn - this hole can be closed like this: Row 2 (= wrong side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before purling the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch (with a stitch and a thread). Purl until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Row 3 (= right side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before knitting the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch. Knit until the double stitch from the previous row and knit the double stitch so that the thread that was placed over the needle and the stitch is knitted together = 1 stitch. Knit until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Row 4 (= wrong side): Slip the 1st stitch from the left needle as if to purl, have the thread at the front towards you, place the thread over the right needle and tighten the thread well before purling the next stitch = the first stitch on the right needle has now become a double stitch. Purl until the double stitch from the previous row and purl the double stitch so that the thread that was placed over the needle and the stitch is purled together = 1 stitch. Purl until where the work is to be turned. Turn the work. Repeat 3rd and 4th row. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.

How to knit up stitches for the neck to a sweater with European shoulder

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches around the neck to a sweater with a European shoulder, using a knitting needle or a crochet hook. Then follow the description in the pattern. There are many different ways to work a rib (e.g knit 1 / purl 1, knit 2 / purl 2, knit 1 twisted / 1 purl etc.). And you can work a single neck, double neck or a high neck. In this video we work a double neck with a rib worked like this: knit 2, purl 2, bind off with knit over knit and purl over purl and then fold the neck double to the inside and fasten down. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8.

How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to knit up stitches to one sleeve, working short rows, decrease under the sleeve, increase stitches before the rib, switch to smaller needle and a little bit of the bind off (knit over knit, and purl over purl). Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder). Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stockinette stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit. Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib. In this video we work with 2 yarn qualities: DROPS Lima color no. 9029 sage green and DROPS Kid-Silk color no. 45 soft mint, needle size 5 MM = US 8.

How to work a simple v-neck

In this DROPS video we show how to work a simple v-neck in rib with 1 knit / 1 purl. The same technique can be used in the rib when knit 2 / purl 2. First, we show how we knit up stitches, then we knit all the stitches from the wrong side, then we work the rib and at the same time on every 2nd row we decrease 2 stitches mid-front as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before the knitted stitch mid-front, slip 2 stitches as if to knit together, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knitted stitch (= 2 stitches decreased). This gives you a neat edge and the knitted stitch follows in a straight line. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
