DROPS Design :

Dear Ellen, could you please tell us which pattern you are working on? The videos like this one are quite standard, to give you the best accurate answer, we should check the instructions in the pattern. Feel free to use the section "Questions" at the bottom of the pattern you are working on. Thanks for your comprehension.

Hello, I am working on patter DROPS 100-35, and am confused on the picot instructions. I watch the video but the instructions in the video are different from the ones in the actual patter, so I am not sure if when it says 3 ch, skip approx 2.5 cm, are you forming a loop of 3 chain stitches? Also when it says 1 tr in first ch, I am assuming the 1st ch is the first of the 4 you just did, vs the first from the 1 dc previously done? Could you post a close up picture of the edging? Thanks,

DROPS Design :

Dear Marcela, remember that the video is showing the standard technique, but a pattern can be a bit different. In 100-35 you will crochet alternately ch-spaces (= 3 chains, skipping 2,5 cm aprox. ) and picot (= 4 chains, 1 dc in the first ch), skip 1 cm. But feel free to adjust the spaces skipped if necessary. Happy crocheting!

Dear Mrs Van Seggelen, ch = chain, dc = US double crochet / tr = UK treble crochet, st = stitch, sc = US single crochet = dc = Uk double crochet. Hope this helps - see also our dictionary here, happy crocheting!

In dit voorbeeld haakt ze een stk in de eerste l en dan een v na een st overslaan. Je zou natuurlijk nog een stk kunnen haken als jij dat zelf mooi vindt.
